Blogs from Tamuning, Guam, Oceania

Things were pretty chill today so I took the opportunity to get in a run and go to a new beach. Beach Bar is known for having sand volleyball and a little deeper ocean area with waves. My biggest disappointment of the island is the reef that surrounds the majority of it. The reef protects the island from typhoons and tsunamis but also prevents waves from getting close to shore and most areas are relatively shallow. Getting out past the reef is possible but if you get taken by a wave you get tossed into the reef which I am going to guess is painful. Here there is a channel that leads out past the reef and it is deep enough to take you over the top of the reef if you get taken. So much ... read more

I am sure you'll find people scanning this piece that happen to be wondering, "Where is Guam?" For all those people I am going to begin with letting them know that Guam is actually a Pacific Island located about a few hours journey coast of Japan. The native inhabitants are Tano and Chamorro. Guam concerns an 18-hour flight away, which happens to be broken into segments which will take you can either through Honolulu or Japan. In any case, we do hope you are lucky enough to get a flight that will permit you to definitely enjoy either place. However you arrive, Guam is certainly worth thetrip. People primarily journey to Guam for military purposes. There's an... read more
