guam is HORRIBLE place!

by js08

To say that guam is a horrible place is actually quite an understatement. ALL of the negative reviews about guam that I've read so far are spot on - this coming from someone who has lived there for over 18 years. This godforsaken pile of dirt is full of ignorant, cocky, highly uneducated, and barbaric animals that call themselves chamorros and filipinos. Everything on guam is corrupt, starting with the government. Listed below are some warnings about guam in no particular order:- Keep in mind that this place is called the "island of thieves."- The locals think they're immortal and will try to fight you for ANY reason. Everyone here thinks they're a mixed-martial artist or has some affiliation to one.- The place is full of highly uneducated animals, which was clearly evidenced by the review from badapple. What a major douchebag this guy is. U R such a tool, go get edumacated U dumba$$.-...

Warning bout Bad comments on Guam!

DANGER: Guam is a modern day third world country!

by hollayougin

I have lived in guam for a little over three years, and i will be the first to tell you DO NOT GO TO THIS ISLAND! STDs, crime (assaults, burglary, and DUIs just to name a few), and price gouging on this island are ridiculous. Lady boys and men girls run rampant here. Japanese tourist come here mainly to get married and just to have a little get away from the norm since the island is so close to japan, it is like someone from the states who lives in Louisiana going to Texas. If you are going to spend two thousand dollars plus on a plane ticket, there are much nicer places to go. The Chommoro peoples slogan is "Hafa dai" (possibly wrong spelling) which means hello. Taken into english context, half-a-day, because that is all that these people believe in working. The island consist of only one MAIN road with streets off to the side. Traffic is horrendous, and at any moment a traffic accident...

Thieves, price gouging, and corruption

by OMGLOL

I've chosen to make my home on Guam for personal reasons, but this is the worst place I've ever lived. I've been to many islands, and most island people are welcoming, friendly, and charming. This place is almost hostile. No concept of hospitality, and the worst waiters and service people I've ever encountered in my life. Try taking care of business at the department of revenue and taxation - you may need a drink or a shoulder to cry on afterward.Everything costs double, not just because goods have to be imported, but because local business have monopolies on certain industries and charge as much as they can. When first apartment hunting, I was shown $1,500-$2,000 per month apartments so run-down and nasty that I've seen better section 8 housing stateside. This is because all property owners automatically set their base rents at military housing allowance, which is a ridiculously high...

Guam is GodAwful

by seawitchfromsaipan

Hi After spending six months on Guam I learned a lot. First of all, behind the facades of the beautiful hotels hygiene is terrible. I saw the feast displayed on buffets for Sunday brunch from behind the scenes, cooked food was placed on the floors in the halls for servers to pick up to place on trays, dishes are wiped clean with dirty rags because the water pressure is low. So beware of where and what you eat.Guam is populated by very poor people, this is a slum island most people have slum or ghetto mentalities but if you are not from their culture you won't recognize it until you realize your girlfriend steals ashtrays from peoples houses and will eventually teach your children that stealing is ok. Girls from the slums make men feel great and the islanders have no respect for marriage. They see a man from The Mainland through eyes with dollar bills signs ringing up their best financial...

Chamorro are pussies. Guam is ***. Avoid the fags

by petesamforsally

DANGER!!! Guam is a place for cheap ass holes that think they are saving their family a little money for a bunch of Chamorro that do not appreciate ***, hell they smell like ***. They are rude and think they are better than “actual” Americans. I lived there for a couple of year and they would wine like little pussy babies about how they wanted America to leave. I would tell them all the time they would get over run by Japan or something and they would get angry and try fighting. I would have to beat their asses and the wining would start back. Trust me. Avoid Guam at all cost.

Guam is a horrible place

by whatever11

Guam is a third world ghetto. I have NOT found the locals to be the least bit nice to non-islanders. This island is about 15-20 years behind any modern country. There is graffiti, abandoned cars, abandoned buildings and trash almost everywhere you go. If you are coming here for two weeks to stay on the "strip"( where the hotels are) then you might enjoy yourself if you enjoy shopping at high end stores and staying on the beach the entire time.(Caution for the beaches-they are, for the most part, polluted.) I would highly recommend Bali or Bora Bora over this place any day.Caution to those of you who are thinking about moving here or PCSing here, this place is a NIGHTMARE! keep in mind its 15+ years behind modern times....Anyone who has very positive reviews has either stayed here for less than two weeks, came to Guam from a less fortunate country, or enjoys the lazy, "laid back", I don't...

Storm drain water

by Travel2write

I don't think this isn't a problem on almost any island that has a good sized population. Common sense say's that if there is a river or drainage area close to where you are swimming, be advised with stong rains, there is potential for polluted runoff from cars and the streets. Not a big problem, but something to be aware off.

Do not take nature home with you!

by Travel2write

The inner tidal zones and reefs of Guam are protected especially at Asan Beach. 1. Do not take any aquatic animals (To include FISH, shellfish, starfish or even coral) 2. Any type of fishing, shell collecting or even the romoval of sand and rock is prohibited.

beware sea life and geckos

by thechels

I have actually witnessed people jumping into the ocean in relatively shallow waters and landing on sea urchins... watch out for these also... sea cucumbers will spit there guts out and if it gets onto your "gear" or self... what a gooey mess to deal with!Gecko's are every where!!! Granted not in the ocean, they ARE everywhere else, it seems!They will drop for doorways, etc... just deal with it... along with the jungle mosquitos.
