>>212972368

>>212972421

>>212972368
>>212972444
Calm down

>>212972444
he is right though, everyone know about hawaii but guam sounds like a fruit

No one cares about Guam

>>212972444
>he doesnt know

>>212972535
Why is he glazing Guam so much he should just go move there

>>212972355 (OP)
Guam is about 2.5 times further away from the west coast than Hawaii, and is also smaller.

If you think of Guam when you think of tourist destinations I just assume you're in the military.

>>212972444
Shut the fuck up you ain't american
you faggot
>>212972421
He's. Not american

Guam is way way out there for Americans and expensive to get there. Most Americans can't even spot it on a map. I

>>212972903
They don't even know Guam exists
Talk to them about Northern Mariana Islands and they will freeze

>>212972566
Nta
It's has some tourist but Hawaii is closer and cheaper to get to. I've been to Guam probably a dozen times. If I ever leave vi I will move there. Once you leave the continent you understand how bad it actually is in general. I would not live in most states outside of cal, very!omt, nh, Wyoming, Maine a couple places

>>212972942
Yeah. Guam is really nice, it's hard to find land or a place. Usually it's family or military who settled there or are stationed there. It's pretty close knit. I know people who live in vi half the year the other half gaum

Nmi is basically a bunch of stretches of beaches with a random resort city. AS nice but poor in general

philippines located at the same distance from here mogs all nature

Friendly reminder that we owned that island, as many others.

officially claimed by Spain until January 26, 1565, by Miguel López de Legazpi.[19]:46 From 1565 to 1815, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, the only Spanish outposts in the Pacific Ocean east of the Philippines, were reprovisioning stops for the Manila galleons, a fleet that covered the Pacific trade route between Acapulco and Manila.[19]:51

Spanish colonization commenced on June 15, 1668, with the arrival of a mission led by Diego Luis de San Vitores, who established the first Catholic church.[19]:64 The islands were part of the Spanish East Indies, and part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, based in Mexico City.[19]:68 The Spanish-Chamorro Wars on Guam began in 1670 over growing tensions with the Jesuit mission, with the last large-scale uprising in 1683.[19]:86

>>212973289
Yeah but y'all lost the island lol

>>212973113
I saw a video of some japanese youtuber going to guam staying around tumon I think. There doesnt seem to be much to do or see there but the beach. Whats the one thing that is very uniquely Guam? I know the japanese shoot guns and uncensored JAV over there.

>>212973289
btfo so hard in 3 months that the entire empire collapsed kek

>>212973534
>United States is a colonial power

I don't think that is fair since Guam wants to stay a part of the United States

>>212973412
the real reason its popular is because of the birth tourism, drug buying, gun buying. at least here yes. but its pretty safe, very easy to travel to, has pretty nice tropical forests. it cant be compared to hawaii, but its sure its a pretty nice tourist destination

>>212972837
I was stationed at Andersen and it is not a tourist attraction. Guam is like Columbus Ohio except tropical. It's all government and military crap. They do have tour boats there but it takes all day to get to the other islands. They also have giant frogs that get run over all the time, but you can dry them out and turn them into big frisbees.

No surf to speak of and the beaches arte nothing special either. It's either stinking hot or raining like hell.

>>212973336
Well, at least we owned it for several centuries, more than the USA.
>>212973534
We already had been an Empire for 400 years. Empires don´t last forever. Spain has been more powerful and important (a world Empire for 400 years and the most powerful country in the world for 150 years) than what the USA has been (just a world superpower for 60 years)

In fact we named that ocean: Oceano Pacífico and did things like this.

ever been to saipan?
