@jan8919 isn't hawaii the only place where you can drink the tap water and still be fine?

Ironically, these people are currently spending tons of money to kill the Coqui all over the main island yet, they let rats run over their food. lol

Coqui singing at night or rAT hair on your food, you decide. Adios

@annabelle2ful:

Oahu's Chinatown isn't anything like LA or San Francisco.

you're better off doing real sightseeing activities.

[annabelle2ful]

Hawaii has hoardes of wild cats running around. They should round some up and put them in there.

[annabelle2ful]

I've been to Hawaii at least 15 times in the last 10 years. It's amazing what they put you through in agriculture inspection in the airports. Yet look at this! What nerve. I've always meant to make it to Chinatown but never have. Now I know not to go.

Ewww-I don't think I'll ever buy food in a Chineese Market place next time I visit Hawaii.

Wow ! Did you see those rat-acrobatics? It looked like homey did a backflip!!

I was in Maunakea Market last week in the middle of the afternoon. and saw a rat run right in front of me from one shop to another. no bull. shit ain't changed there at all.

[Gunnersaurus99]

That video was hilarious! Although the rats could have been wilder, I think this is a classic case of false advertising. However, I do love the rat action.

this guy is annoying..its natural.

[JoeSoma]

Ooooh, They are sooo cute! They jump straight up to the hanging bananas. Very adorable. Thank you for posting this clip.

[supersooshi]

my dad and i kill these fuckers in our backyard.. we could have good fun in chinatown!

[landlice48]

Just think of it this way- when you hold the banana and it has traces of rat feces on it, it will inevitably transfer to your banana even if you peel it. No, I'm not paranoid, just sensible :)

[fortheloseFTL]

@landlice48 why would you wash your bananas? just peel them, lol

[landlice48]

Oh my gosh! I guess I'll be washing bananas super well before I eat them. I had no idea that they were so prolific..I suppose it's all over the city, we just don't "see it". Why do they have Health Inspectors on the payroll in government if this has been ignored ?? Thanks for posting your video - it will make a difference (say I, hopefully!).

[applesped]

well duhh china town has rats. can you expect someplace like that to NOT have rats?

there always were rats there, and most people continued to shop. there's no difference now, just that people know there are rats. china town shop owners have been cleaning up their shops because of this video..

[Ncreasepeace]

You're serious.. you actually seen roaches drop in a pan and then served to costumers?? i mean.. i know its all about money and most workers dont care what happens to their costumers but this is not something i want to believe.. i eat out everywhere.

[TragicIndeed]

Well, I made it through half of that!  Yuck! IT gives me the creeps! IF that was what was happening when the ights are on, I can only imaginethe free-for-all when the lights are off!

[GomerDose]

This is what they get for calling me Haole
