    Talofofo Falls
    by kenmerk
    Well the falls are pleasant enough, but they have converted the area around it into a kind of playland of some sorts. (complete with a $20.00 admission fee...) Which is about $18 over the worth of seeing the falls. The one thing here that is worth seeing is Yokoi's cave, just because of the interest of seeing where one Japanese soldier hid out for 28 years in the jungle...

  • don't think that because you are in Micronesia things will be cheap. Everything from gasoline to food is as expensive as a city like Los Angeles.

    You cannot imagine how far away Guam is from North America until you fly there with a toddler.
    Guam is south of Japan, east of the Philippines, north of Indonesia and just far, far away from everything, located in the western Pacific about 13 degrees north of the equator. It's the southernmost and largest island of the Marianas Island Arc. The island chain forms part of the eastern margin of the Philippine Sea.

  • Watch out for the airport taxis! From the hotel to the airport, it was about $10 - the hotel calls the taxi for you. But from the airport to the hotel they charged almost $20!

    Taxi swindlers at Kmart
  • By joetouristo on March 7, 2009
  • Guam Page by joetouristo
  • Beware of taxi rip off from K-mart. The meters are rigged.

    Video tape the transaction, the trip and the meter. They will threaten to make a case against you if you report it to the police. The police seemed irritated with me when I tried to report it, so I made no report. If you video tape it, you can report it and it will all be on record.

    Rent a car, take the trolly. Don't do business with taxi services.

  • Guam on one hand is a toursit trap, on the another a laid back island community. However, it can easily be compared to the Honolulu area. The T-shirts and all the sports activities to entertain the tourist while separating them from the money they planned to spend on vacation. Personally I was never ripped off and felt they was an understanding about the nature of Guam's activities. And if you hunted around you could find some reasonably priced activities such a scuba diving.

  • I went to the cafeteria in Hilton Hotel.
    we wanna enjoy the nightlife in there.
    but we went there with 5-year-old baby. so we couldn't be allowed to enter that place because of that baby.
    I knew child could not stay cafeteria after 10.P.M.
    so we had to return to our hotel.

    Check the bill

  • Most restaurants automatically charge the service charge of 10 percent. Sometimes it is hidden in the bill in the middle of the food order, so be careful for that.

    Check the bill carefully
