well, this can be a certified tourist trap, why? since it offers mainly curiosity for the average tourists but I would say that some of them are willing to buy the assorted adult stuffs being sold in the sex and lingerie stores that are found in some areas of guam, particularly at the Hotel row of Pale San Vitores Road. You would see gawking japanese and korean and chinese tourist going inside and "having" a wow factor of the assorted sex oddities like the dildo, the vibrator, the edible underwear, lots of Adult DVD's and S & M bondage suits. But only a few of them actually buy these stuffs.

Unique Suggestions: these adult shops are open from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm everyday and if you are really interested, a regular adult DVD sells for $ 35 for the recently released titles like the evil angel series, penthouse barely legal series, Peter North's North Pole and more. Old DVD titles costs $ 14 to 20 and they also offer Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Brazilian, Latin Adult Films, and no picture taking is allowed inside.

Fun Alternatives: none, you either go inside to gawk at the oddities or buy them.

Beware of taxi rip off from K-mart. The meters are rigged.

Unique Suggestions: 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.

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

The airport has a large DFS (Duty Free Store) in it and food court (some that you can't find off the airport -- Wienersnitzel). But it can be quite costly, buy only if you didn't get your shopping done elsewhere.

Unique Suggestions: You are starving and are stuck at the airport and have no place else to go, then eat there. As for shopping, you can find mostly everything at the local mall or Kmart.

It can be pretty quiet, at the inactive gates so you should be able to get a nap if you have to layover at the airport for a few hours.

Fun Alternatives: If you can you can use the Travel Lounges for the airlines (Continental & JAL) if you have access.

Ok folks, if the massage parlor say "Open 24 hrs a day" this is a front for prostituition. If you are looking for those hanky panky places, be advised that HIV and other STD's are common. Many of the workers are drug addicts or women smuggled by pimps into the country. Best to stay clear!

Unique Suggestions: Use a condom and hope you don't catch anything.

Fun Alternatives: Best to use the hotel SPA services!

there are lots of strip joints.....the best one with the best looking girls are CLUB USA, VIKINGS
once a stripper talks to you.....you have to buy her a drink........normally vodka and cranberry juice costing US$20 bucks.........

Unique Suggestions: try to sit near the dances/ strippers floor rather then at a table away from the dancefloor

so far the best map of the major hotels, shopping centres & restaurants in the Tumon Bay shopping area . left-click to enlarge . print-out and memorize these maps on your flight in, and it will save your precious time & taxi/bus fare .

Street hustlers like to offer alls sorts of things to tourists and then offer them an expensive cab ride to get to the place.Cabs are outrageously expensive. So negotiate prices first and expect to pay a lot.

Unique Suggestions: Know the price before you take a taxi

Fun Alternatives: There are shuttle buses that run around the main part of the island and it is possible to buy a day pass for 5.00 for unlimited trips.

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...
