GUAM | Things I Miss About Guam | If I visit again, these would be the first things I do!

#guam #guamlife #islandlife

It's been about 9 or 10 months since I left my beautiful island home Guam, and now I'm definitely missing certain things that I can't get anywhere else. If you're a newcomer or you may be moving to the island soon, here are my top 8 things I miss about Guam!

1. Guam beaches! It is an understatement to say that Guam beaches are some of the most beautiful sites you'll ever experience. Not only are they gorgeous, but they're also so easy to get to! My favorite beach for fun, drinking, and sports was definitely Dungca's Beach next to the Jimmy Dee's bar in Tamuning. For quiet and calm scenery, I loved places like the Inarajan Pools, Lotte Beach, Alupang Drive, and so many more. These were perfect settings for meditation or a nice drive away from your busy lifestyle to just be one with nature.

2. My favorite dishes from certain restaurants! Granted you may be able to find dishes similar to these, but of course you can't get an exact match. Some favorites include the spicy tomato penne from Capricciosa, Manicotti and Fettuccine Alfredo from Vitale's, and the soups from Simply Food.

3. Fiesta plates! If you ever get invited to a village fiesta or family fiesta, you must go! You'll fall in love with all the local dishes prepared. Some of my favorite items are Chamoru BBQ, red rice, kelaguen, and pancit.

4. Coconut trees and flame trees! You know you're in a tropical paradise when there are coconut trees everywhere LOL! The more sentimental reason I miss coconut trees is because our dog Max loved playing with coconuts and husking them :(

5. Carabao Brewing's Coconut Porter! Living in Virginia now, yes I have access to so many breweries, but I have yet to find a dark beer that comes close to that awesome porter on Guam. However, that does make it more special because knowing that's the only place I can get that beer, it's just going to taste that much sweeter whenever I get to pay a visit back :)

6. My favorite bars! My favorite nightlife spots would have to be Horse and Cow, Old Traditions, and Porky's Bar. Horse and Cow has a great food and beer selection, but it also has a lot of fun elements for you active adults, like pool tables, a jukebox, video games, and beer pong tables. Old Traditions is located in the quieter side of Tumon, and it was our favorite spot to play darts, foosball, beer pong, and enjoy live music when they had it. It was also one of the very few places that allowed us to bring our dog Max with us, so that was pretty awesome! Porky's Bar in the busier part of Tumon was our go-to for live rock music, from 80's to acoustic, you name it. The positive vibe from everyone just having a great time, plus the awesome service from the friendly bartenders, made this an easy spot to have a fun night.

7. Rockit Ride! This rhythmic cycling studio was a huge part of my workout regimen. I would do 4-5 classes a week because I loved it so much! I haven't really looked around Virginia much to find a place like this, but I'm sure they got to be around here. More so, I'm so sad that I left when my sister started training to be an instructor and is now one of their main ones! I'd love to take her class if I get the chance to visit.

8. Snorkeling! I never knew how much I loved this until I couldn't get the same experience out here. Guam's waters are not only safe and warm, but they're also so clear, which means you can see exactly what you're jumping into LOL! Once you get in though, there are so many species of marine life--from jellyfish to turtles to black-tip sharks, you're always bound to see something whenever you go snorkeling on Guam. My favorite spots would have to be Fish Eye, Ague Cove, Gun Beach, and Gab Gab, but of course, there are so many other awesome snorkeling locations to discover!

GUAM | People, Weather, Military, Travel, Where to stay

#guam #guamlife
This kicks off the Exploring Guam series with a general overview of Guam and basic info you should know when visiting here! This is for those who are new to the island, planning a trip, or may be moving to Guam soon. Learn about where Guam is exactly, what the weather is like, what military bases are located here, where to stay, and more. I hope this video entices you to visit the island sometime and experience all it has to offer!

01:34 Size
02:10 Weather
02:50 Religion
03:09 Schools
03:38 Military
04:15 The People
06:38 Where to stay
08:10 Personal experiences

0:46 Location - Where is Guam? We're a little island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, within the vicinity of Australia, Hawaii, the Philippine Islands, and Japan. It's very easy to travel from here to other parts of Southeast Asia.

1:34 Size - 30 miles long, about 210 sq. miles. As of 2021, its population is roughly 168,000. From personal experience, you could drive around the entire island in about 2 hours, which means commute from home to workplace is never more than 30-40 minutes.

2:10 Weather - It is consistently humid on Guam. Summertime is when the warmer temperatures are felt with highs between 88-91 degrees F and lows between 77-80 degrees F. You WILL sweat so dress light! Cooler temperatures in the 70s occur during the months of November to January/mid-February.

2:50 Religion - Guam is a predominantly Catholic community, but there are other smaller church groups such as Baptist, Mormon, Seventh Day Adventist, Methodist, etc. that exist.

3:09 Schools - There are 27 public Elementary Schools, 8 public Middle Schools, 6 public High Schools, and about 13-14 private schools that house a variety of grade levels. The two college level schools present are the University of Guam and the Guam Community College. Guam colleges are highly recommended if you want to pursue a degree in Marine Biology.

3:38 Military on Guam - There are two main military installations, one being Andersen Air Force Base in Yigo and the other being Naval Base Guam (Big Navy) in Santa Rita. There are other smaller installations around the island like NCTS, Naval Magazine, Naval Hospital, etc. which means many federal job opportunities AND a high turnover cycle for military personnel and families stationed on Guam.

4:15 People - This mini melting pot is home to so many! Ranging from CHamorus, Filipinos, tourists, military, and other Micronesian Islanders, you're bound to meet people from so many backgrounds and ethnicities. DON'T mix up the CHamorus with chods/chauds. A true CHamoru will be very welcoming and hospitable to newcomers while a chod/chaud will be more closed off.

6:38 Where to stay - This is a broad statement because the bottomline is that you should definitely explore the different areas and villages IN PERSON. From a general description, the noisier, busier parts of Guam would be the villages of Dededo, Tumon, Tamuning, and sometimes east Agana. The quieter areas that are away from the hustle and bustle would be villages like Mangilao, Yona, Talofofo, Inarajan, Asan, Agat, Santa Rita, Umatac, and Merizo.

8:10 Different personal experiences - I'm not going to lie and say everyone has loved Guam; people have either loved their time here or they've hated it. However, it all depends on what YOU make of it. Are you going to stay at home the whole time and miss out on potential experiences and friendships, or are you someone that will explore the island and make an active effort to meet people and discover all the hidden gems Guam has to offer? It's really up to you when you get here.

Visiting a Chamaro village in Guam

Visiting a Chamaro village in Guam

We enjoyed touring Southern Guam with Jenny. We all learned so much from the tour at the Inalahan Cultural Village from making sea salt, rope, coconut candy to beautiful weavings. We even walked on the lathi stones, visited the old Spanish fort and went hiking in the mud.

See our other Guam videos about Underwater World Guam and Sea Trek walking inside the tank with the sharks and rays! Check out the beachside BBQ at the Outrigger Guam with dinner right on the beach!

Thank you to Outrigger Guam and UnderWater World Guam for making our stay spectacular! Thanks to Nokia for the amazing Lumia 925 to share unbelievable photos and video! Enjoy over 170 videos with over 160,000 views at

Hagåtña is the wonderful capital of Guam, travel , hotels, Agana Bay and beaches

Hagåtña

and in Spanish Agaña, is the capital city[3] of the United States territory of Guam. From the 18th through mid-20th century, it was Guam's population center, but today it is the second smallest of the island's 19 villages in both area and population. However, it remains one of the island's major commercial districts in addition to being the seat of government.
Hagåtña is located at the mouth of the Hagåtña River on Guam's west coast. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1 square mile (2.6 km²). The village is bounded by the sandy beaches of Agana Bay to the north, the Agana River and associated wetlands to the east, and a cliff (above which is the village of Agana Heights) to the South. Several high-rise office buildings are in the center of the village, while the western portion of the city known as Anigua is more residential. Unlike many villages, central Hagåtña is divided into city blocks with shops and small restaurants throughout the center of the village. Highly populated residential areas in the villages of Mongmong-Toto-Maite, Sinajana, and Agana Heights surround Hagåtña.

The Valley of the Latte Adventure Park, Talofofo, Guam. Guam's 76th Liberation Day Celebration

The Valley of the Latte, nestled on the banks of the Talofofo River, represents thousands of years of Chamorro culture and history. The first signs of life have been carbon dated back to 206 BC. Fast-forward to 1944, a young soldier from the Japanese Imperial Army, Soichi Yokoi. Instead of surrendering to American Liberation Forces landing on Guam, he and two of his comrades sought refuge in the Talofofo and Bubulao Valley until their mother country would come and rescue them.

28 years later in 1972 Talofofo Residents Jose Duenas and Manuel Degracia capture one of the last surviving Japanese stragglers Soichi Yokoi and bring him to the Surfside Cafe for interrogation, the present day Valley of the Latte Giftshop.

The repatriation of Yokoi to his home country of Japan was a historic milestone for the island in connection to World War II.

Today, 76 years after the Liberation of Guam, the Talofofo River Valley, has become the iconic location where CHamoru culture and history is brought to life every single day and shared with visitors from Yigo to Japan, California to Korea, and many more throughout the world.

We strive to be the place chosen by the people of Guam to celebrate our culture and share the beauty of our island with all that visit.

We are honored to have our cultural practitioners share and celebrate with us on the land where our ancestors lived and flourished.

We are also honored to have our I Tao Tao Ta, our Military Brothers and Sisters, and all our International Guests share with us in the celebration of our 76th Liberation at the Valley of the Latte.

We have endured a World War and we are now faced with another global challenge wreaking havoc on our people. But we are strong and resilient and will overcome once more, all the challenges placed before us.

We are proud to be a part of the Talofofo and Southern Guam community.


BIBA GUAHAN!

気候
海洋性熱帯気候に属しており、年間を通して高温多湿。「常夏」といわれ、ほぼ1年中海水浴が楽しめる。6 - 12月が雨季、1 - 5月が乾季。雨季にはスコールが降る。年間平均気温は約26℃。

歴史
古代
グアム島に人類が住み着いたのは紀元前3000年~2000年頃で、東南アジア系民族チャモロ人がマレーシアやインドネシア、フィリピンから航海カヌーに乗って移住してきたことに始まると考えられる。そのことはラッテストーンと呼ばれる古代チャモロ遺跡が残存していることでわかる。

スペイン植民地化
1521年にポルトガルの探検家マゼランがヨーロッパ人として初めてグアム島に到達[6]。1565年にレガスピが来島してスペインの領有を宣言し植民地となり、フィリピンのマニラとメキシコのアカプルコを結ぶ航路が1568年に開かれ、スペインの大型船ガレオン船が太平洋を行き来するようになり、1年に1度6月ごろロタやグアム周辺に現れ、チャモロと物々交換を行った。 1668年にスペインのカトリック教会使節サン・ビトレスを中心としたイエズス会が布教活動のため訪れるようになった。先住民はチャモロであるが、サイパンを含む北マリアナ諸島から移住させられたチャモロが多数いた。

しかし、宣教師が祖霊崇拝を始めとするチャモロ人の伝統的な習慣や文化を厳しく禁止したため、不満を持つチャモロ人も多く、その不満は1669年のスペイン・チャモロ戦争として現れた。キリスト教に反抗的な村は全て焼き払われ、10万人いたとされるチャモロ人が5000人以下に激減した。そして、以降は目立った反抗はなくキリスト教文化が定着するようになったといわれている。

アメリカ支配
1898年にアメリカとスペインの間で勃発した米西戦争にアメリカが勝利し、同年のパリ条約によりグアム島はフィリピン、プエルトリコとともにアメリカ合衆国に割譲され、植民地支配下におかれた。アメリカはスペイン同様に現地の文化や風習を無視してグアムのアメリカ化を進めるなど、植民地支配を推し進めた。

日本による占領

グアムを占領する日本海軍将兵
詳細は「日本軍によるグアムの占領」を参照
1941年12月8日、太平洋戦争(大東亜戦争)が勃発。大日本帝国海軍は真珠湾攻撃の5時間後(日本時間午前8時30分)に、グアムへの航空攻撃を開始し、2日後に日本軍がアメリカ軍を放逐し、島名を「大宮島」と改名して大日本帝国領土とし、その後2年7か月にわたり占領した[7]。

1944年7月、グアムの戦いでアメリカ軍が奪還した。以後アメリカ軍は日本軍が使用していた基地を拡張し、戦争終結までの間日本列島への爆撃拠点として使用した。

再びアメリカに

タモン湾のホテル
1950年にアメリカ合衆国議会により「グアム自治基本法」(Organic Act of Guam)によって主権に制限を受け、「アメリカ合衆国自治的・未編入領域 (organized unincorporated territory)」という政治的地位となり、カールトン・スキナー(Carlton S. Skinner)が初の民間人知事となった。

第二次世界大戦の終戦後も、現在に至るまでアメリカ軍の太平洋戦略上重要な基地のひとつとしてグアム島は活用され、ベトナム戦争の際も北爆に向かう爆撃機の拠点として使用され、アメリカ軍が経済に与える影響も大きい。

1960年代後半以降は、日本からの観光客を中心とした観光地およびリゾート地として発展を遂げ、ホテルやレストラン、免税店などが立ち並ぶ。1990年代以降日本からの観光客は減ったが、2000年代以降は大韓民国や中華民国からの観光客が増加し、現在は経済面では日本などの海外からの外国人観光客による収入が重要な位置を占めている。

改名問題

タモン湾越しに望む恋人岬
準州知事フェリクス・カマチョは2010年2月15日、演説の最後に、グアムの呼称を以前の「Guahan」に変えるように呼びかけた。同日、カマチョは島名を変更する政令を出した。カマチョは同時に自らを「Guahanの知事」と呼び始めた。

歴史家のToni Ramírez(グアム公園保養局文化財保護所)によると、Guahanとは「我々のもの」(we have)もしくは「所有している場所」(a place that has)[8]を意味し、島の川や天然資源を指して使用した。川や天然資源はミクロネシアの他の諸島では比較的希少なものであったと言う。

Guahan或いはGuajánは、1521年から1898年の間に島名として広く使用されていた[8][12]。しかし、グアム、そしてGuahanという名前は両方とも歴史文書や地図に数百年も遡って見出されると言うのが、Peter Onedera(グアム大学チャモロ語教授、歴史家)[11]による見解である。初代グアム知事を務めたリチャード・P・リアリー提督は1900年、「グアム」を採用したが、それは彼が「グアムの小島」と読んだからである。

知事2期目を務めるカマチョ(グアムにて3選はできない)は2011年にはグアム政府から引くことになる。彼は演説の最後にて、改名は知事の遺産として基盤とし、歴史上自分が改名路線の固定化を為すべき立場にある旨を説明した。彼はGuahanへの改名が明確な独自性とチャモロ文化の遺産を再認識させることになるだろうと論じた。カマチョの政令は次のように明確に述べている。「チャモロ語の使用を広め、歴史的、文化的な連携を島にもたらすよう邁進しよう」[

Walking on the street in Guam in the glare of sunlight is wonderful.
Tamuning is a village located on the western shore of the United States territory of Guam. The village of Tamuning is the economic center of Guam, containing tourist center Tumon, famous resorts, and shopping centers.
I hope you enjoy the cheerful atmosphere of Guam.
