I’ve had several friends ask if I feel as though I’m missing out on anything by living in Guam. I’ve already mentioned that my only concern about moving here was the distance back to the states to visit family and friends but as far as having material things, it’s all here.
Granted, there aren’t many concerts scheduled but I’ve been checking the bands going to Tokyo which is only three and a half hours away. Should Dave Matthews happen to be in Tokyo, we’ll be there!
Besides all the outdoor activities, which we love, we can’t get over the fabulous restaurants we’ve been to so far. Everyone we’ve talked to loves the Indian restaurant called Curry Kebab and we weren’t disappointed. The food was delicious but I was a little bummed they were out of the lemon peel and the rosemary bread. Guess that means I’ll have to go back soon to try those items.
On Tuesday, we went to Guam’s only all-vegetarian restaurant, Simply Food, ~ yummy and so healthy. They have specials everyday and I really want to go back for tomorrow’s special: Thai Curry w/brown rice and Broccoli Ginger Seaweed soup ~ how’s that for nutritious?! While we were having lunch, I noticed the anchors from Guam’s news station picked up their lunches for take-out. It was weird seeing someone you watch on TV every night.
Guam also has the usual chain restaurants i.e. Hard Rock Cafe, Planet Hollywood, TGIFridays, Lonestar, etc. There are two Stone Cold Creamery stores which I have yet to try but have heard so much about. We prefer to keep trying local restaurants as opposed to the chains. I recently read a review about Le Tasi Bistro which is owned by a Frenchman and his wife, who is Spanish. The combo of French and Spanish food sounds too good to pass up.
For anyone who wondered, we want for nothing 🙂
The French-Spanish restaurant sounds really yummy! Let me know when you try it out!

That sounds so amazing when you say that it’s only three-and-a-half hours to Tokyo…you’re getting to explore a whole new world!

Pati, I told you Guam is really a melting pot when it comes to food…we know real flavor! Although I’m not too familiar with the places you’ve tried. I know the little joints here and there. If you’re ever in Tumon you must try AJI ICHI, if you like sushi, Rotary Sushi. You make me miss Guam so much!!! I think my hubby secretly wishes he could go back and have a military job there too!

You’ve got more there than we do, and we’re in the States. We have 3 dining options (excluding fast food), and the names say it all: Spirits West, The Catfish Junction, and The Wagon Master. I’m not joking. Not even a Starbucks and I thought they were everywhere! Wish we were in Guam!!

Curry Kebab is one of my favorites. I also love Le Tasi.
If you like Vietnamese food, try Truong’s in upper Tumon in the East-West business center on Marine Drive. Another L13 favorite. 🙂

It is totally weird to see someone that you see on TV. In DC our language school was right by the local channel 5 affiliate and I saw the morning lady at Starbucks on occasion. The first time I saw her I’d never seen her on TV before and I kept staring at her because she had the most beautiful hair. I told the husband that she must have thought I was weird for staring – then I saw her on TV the next day and realized that she probably thought I recognized her and that is why I was staring. Poor lady, if only she knew – I just envied her shiny locks!!
