It’s that time again!
1. What’s the weather like in Guam?
Always hot & humid. Even though people refer to the summer months as summertime, there are really only two seasons: dry and rainy. Before I moved here I asked someone what the weather was like and she said, “When it’s hot, it’s really hot and when it rains it really rains.” At the time I thought to myself, “What kind of answer is that!?” Now that I live here, I completely understand. There’s no in-between in Guam, it’s either super hot and dry or super hot and rainy. It never sprinkles but always POURS.
2. Things to know about Guam?
I think it’s important to know about the history of the island and people. It might explain a lot about life here too. Sometimes the beaches are under advisory, which means there are high amounts of dangerous bacteria in the water that can make you sick. The people born in Guam are U.S. citizens and speak English.
3. What’s life like on Guam?
It’s both relaxed and chaotic.
4. Worries living in Guam?
I worry about typhoons during the rainy season, about the cost of flying home in an emergency, and about needing medical care that can’t be found on island.
5. Are there any giant animals living in the deep blue sea we didn’t discover?
We shall soon find out. James Cameron was in Guam filming his deep sea dive into the Mariana Trench!
6. Is it easy to meet people in Guam?
Yes!
7. Vacation Guam or Philippines?
If you’re looking for safety or family vacation, Guam might be more appealing. Personally, if I had to choose I’d say the Philippines simply because money will go further. You can experience both the major metropolitan life in Manila and then take an affordable flight to another of the Phillippine islands, like Boracay or Palawan, and have a more relaxing and laid back trip. Sorry Guam, but you’re just too expensive.
8. Russian places in Guam?
There is a Russian restaurant that just opened a few months ago. Other than that, there aren’t really any Russian places, so that might be a great business opportunity for someone. I think people are slowly realizing that there’s been an increase in Russian visitors and hopefully will make things more Russian-friendly.

Can I come to the party?
10. Gun culture Guam
The gun laws are pretty strict here. So I haven’t really heard much about gun culture other than people hunting.
11. Does Guam get snow?
NO!
12. How big are cockroaches in Guam?
Pretty big. I’ve seen one the length of my palm. They also fly around at night :(
13. Why do people hate Guam?
Someone who has lived in Guam for more than 20 years told us that Guam is 15 years behind the U.S. and the other Micronesian islands are like 30 years behind. So I can see why people who aren’t from here might not like it. It’s quite dirty, people seem resistant to change, and the government has been slow at implementing things like basic recycling.
14. Best steaks on Guam?
We’ve been to Avenue (Tumon), Sea Grill (Tumon), and Angus Steak and Grille (Harmon) and all three were delicious with excellent service.
