Guam

 Though it's a US territory, Guam is fairly close to Japan (about a 3.5 hour flight from Tokyo).  There are many Japanese and Korean  tourists here, and not a lot of American tourists.
 We did a morning island tour, which took a couple of hours. About 30 miles long, the island's located in Micronesia.
 Coconut seller, south Guam.

Our tour included a demonstration on making coconut oil and coconut candy.
A local demonstrating how to grate coconut.

Ancient kiln, south Guam.
The resorts, restaurants, high-end shops, etc. are all clustered at beautiful Tumon Bay, on the coast of the Philippine Sea.

Christmas is coming, Reef Hotel, Tumon Bay.
At Fisheye you can dive, snorkel, visit the offshore underwater observatory.
I also saw blacktip sharks when snorkeling in Malaysia.


Heading out for a dolphin watching tour. We saw quite a few spinner dolphins.

Once a week on Guam there's a busy night market that includes grilled foods, local handicrafts, music, dancing.
