Guam is an island in the middle of the Pacific ocean, roughly between Hawaii and Japan. It is an unicorporated territory of the United States, much like Puerto Rico. Originally colonized by the Spanish, Guam was then taken over by the US during the Spanish American War of 1898. During WWII, Japan briefly had control over the island, but America won it back.

The native culture of Guam is called Chamorro. While many residents there do still speak the native language of Chamorro and maintain culinary and cultural traditions, Guam is very Americanized. It is much like Hawaii as it's tropical beaches serve as a popular tourist attaction. However, Guam caters more to Japanese and other Asian tourists who fuel much of the local economy. Guam is only a 3-hour plane trip from Tokyo.

The following is a video taken on a trip there with friends. It shows the Chamorro Village, a gathering place for locals open every Wednesday night.
