Guam Dos and Don'ts

Go shopping at Micronesia Mall. Enjoy a Western-style shopping experience with local and ethnic flavors.

If you want a cultural experience in Guam, go to the Chomorran Villiage on Wednesdays, meet some people grilling chicken. Make friends with them, and get them to invite you to the cock fights, which is on Friday nights. Eat some Lumpia at the fights, bet a little money, and cheer for your favorite bird!

Guam has it all. You have wonderful beaches that have so much to look at while you snorkle. The fish swim around you and the coral is beautiful! I spent most of my time in the water at Tangessen and on the Navy port. The night life is endless. Every club you can think of is here. Its never a dull night. You can get the best BBQ downtown. Bring a camera, swimsuit and your club clothes and have a great time.

Well, what can I say? Tumon is like the little cosmopolitan that could, or couldn't....it depends on your perspective of things. Tumon is the tourist center of Guam. If you must have your dose of Louis Vuitton, Gucci, or whatever brand name must-have, then head on to the Duty Free Shopping Center. Just don't mind the gaggle of Japanese tourists though. The nightlife is something else. Unlike most cities or quaint villages, there are no pubs in Tumon. You either get loud, smoky dance clubs or loud smoky nudie bars. I think people here don't like to hear themselves think and the excessive audio assault coupled with the booze and the fags is a temporary form of catharsis. And also, if you can't stand drunk, military douche bags, then find something else to do. Be careful of butterfaced women. There's a reason why the night clubs are so dark and the street lights haven't been paid for. Tumon also has some good places for grub. Stick to the hole in the walls. My favorite restaurants are Ban Thai and Old Town Chinese Restaurant. If you want to gorge yourself, head on to the buffet table at Cafe Kalachucha found in the Westin Hotel.

I was stationed there for about 3 years nothing really there but strip clubs, bars and massage parlors. Very friendly people. Id really reccomed staying out of the massage parlors because from what I saw and heard is that most of the personnel on tour there (military) goes to those places so DONT GO THERE. (massage parlors)
