Thanks, Adam, for the tour and all the cordial things you said about Guam. As a second-generation Guamanian American, I appreciate your take on this island gem. Hafa Adai!
I don’t know how I stumbled onto your video but I’m glad I did. Thanks for enjoying our island! We’re getting a Don Don Donki of our own! Supposedly bigger than our Kmart. Hopefully, you can make it back here to check it out. I’d love to see your video about it. Take care!
We had a major Kmart here in Maui and it looks exactly the same, but our Kmart had more square footage. Sadly, it closed due to Walmart and Target eclipsing the store. Condolences to your family on your mom's homegoing 🙏
Im indigenous to Guahan (Guam). Thanks for enjoying my island and sharing what you know with your followers. This is random but has anyone ever told you that you sound a lot like Grizzly from Cartoon Network's We Bare Bears. hope the next time youre on island you shed more light on the southern villages (where Im from). Its culturally rich verses the touristy areas up north. We want the world to be attracted to Guam for other super cool and interesting reasons besides the Tumon hotels and Beaches. OTher than that good foodie vids! Makes me hungerrrryyyy. Si yu'os ma'asi!
Thanks Adam, I was stationed at Anderson AFB in the late 70's, I was assigned to Strategic Air Command, so we had very little off duty time always on alert, but the time we did get we explored all over, The Islanders were some of the most friendly people I have ever met, many of my co workers were from the islands, back then there was very few jobs so many young folks went into the military, and being it was a remote assignment you could stay as long as you want, provided not wars started up, Many fond memories!!
Today we join our favourite Bearded Nerd on his trip to Guam where he continues to indulge in delectable food. He goes to one of the last standing K-marts to buy coffee drinks. Then honors his mother by getting her favourite Sandwich/Burger. Those coffee inserts had me chuckling pretty good. 😂
I was visiting my wife in mid March. For about two weeks in Guam. She took a temp spot for 3 months. And I visited here for two weeks. You do a good video. And we made our way to Saipan for a weekend. Spot on. Super empty and depressing. You and my wife definitely overlaped on Guam.
This is really moving. I'm loving your trip to Guam and I find it very educational as well. This one is packed with tons of fun from the K-mart thing to the exotic supermarket items... also, SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM
Another great video. The last restaurant was up the hill from where I stayed in 2016. I saw it several times and wanted to eat there. Was Porkies open? Was a great hangout that had an 80's cover band.
It's not a trip without a visit to Kings.. best breakfast ever.. after a long night of drinking its the best. Spent 3 years there, 2005 to 2008. Navy. You should go on a boonie stomp, or just travel around the island and visit the little seen places.
Thanks for these videos! Guam is on my bucket-list of places to explore now. Any idea about Real Estate cost? Hawaii (where I grew up) is WAY too expensive, considering actually moving if housing can be found for less than 1 mil :D
Great video, and i hope and pray your MoM regains some better, and enough strenght so she can visit Guam again 🙏. Thanks for the video, and sharing 🇬🇺.
i hope in 2024 it doesn't get too busy i like that the beach is secluded. really hyped to go since my partner is part Guamanian, it will be great for my daughters to learn more about their ancestry
Fun fact about those cocacola bottles, there is actually 3 in Guam. One in Tumon which was in the video. The other two is located at The Guam Football association. And the other one is located at the cocacola main office in Barrigada.
loved seeing the food and hearing the stories.... but highlight had to be seeing the k-mart! I might be into trying the ding-dongs flavored latte, haha. appreciate the review of those hostess drinks, for sure. :P definitely great advice at the end, though. looking forward to the next episode!
Thanks for the vlog! I will visit there next year.. i work in korea and dont want to trek all the way back home to the East coast... btw, panda express is also in Korea. They used to have taco bell once upon a time as well.
Great Video Adam. The food looked delicious, You've made me hungry gonna have to go fix myself something to eat now - only got some cup-a-soup in though :-D Wishing you all the best.
This is wild. I live in Indiana, which is on the eastern time zone and it’s about 6:20 AM in India. It’s 10:50 AM in Guam right now. That’s wild. Almost 4 hours ahead of India which is crazy to think about. Maybe even 4 1/2 hours ahead of India. Thanks for the video!
God bless you Adam and your entire family. that was awesome what you did in her memory that was very funny how she had that sandwich down to the last bite. hopefully she was having one you at the same time. GOD BLESS AND STAY SAFE
This is awesome content. I will be traveling to Guam by the end of this month or early next , we 're just waiting for my baby niece's tourist visa. And we'll visit my younger sister's family based there. Thank you from the Philippines. This was a long overdue vacation(should have been March of 2020) because COVID eff'd up everything. 🥺
Hello sir, omg did you say Guam actually makes, grows their own coffee.. I am from Guam, can you tell me exactly where in Guam is the coffee factory iat… I live in the village of Ordot, I would surely would like to know where in Guam that actually makes and grows their own coffee… I live in Guam and I have yet to find a coffee shop factory like you mentioned. But anyway god bless you sir
Wow, COVID has really made hotel road look like a ghost town, that area where your walking use to be the busiest tourist area… oh yes use to eat there Eggs & Things but their hours opens later than what your time is entering in for breakfast .. Meskle Dos has another branch at Hotel Road, when I was there, they had (3) locations now they have (4). Your staying at the Reef Hotel, that’s one f the 1st Hotel on Hotel Road since the 70’s, that Hotel is Filipino’s mostly hangs out.
yk growing up on guam and absolutely loving little ceasars..... hearing someone talk shit about it really makes me envious of what kinda pizzerias yall have stateside. We missing out huh hahaha
I didn't like Kmart in the 80s. At least our local one wasn't very good. Even the prices weren't that great if you wanted something decent. Anyway, I've been to this Kmart on Guam and it's great. It's huge, it's well-stocked, the prices are good, and it's very popular. Lots of Guam souvenirs too. It's strange to say about a Kmart, but it's a must-go place on Guam.
I lived on Guam 1971/1972, while my husband was in the Navy. There was NONE of what you are showing. There were no stores, to speak of. Everything we needed had to come from the Navy Exchange or mail order. There were only two nice hotels. One was the Dai Ichi (sp?) There we’re no real beaches, except at those hotels. Everything else was so loaded with coral, it made swimming difficult. You couldn’t go in the water without wearing water shoes. Boy, I wouldn’t mind being stationed there today!
@adamEatsTheWorld I tip my hats off to you sir for making this video while you are in Guam, thank you for doing so. But there is no coffee factory or coffee farm in the island of Guam, every thing is imported. God bless you sir.
im wondering are those older grocery stores on guam are stil in buisness like bunny market n man i cant remember the names of the other ones. but dam those wer the old school stores lol. of course payless will never die. i left guam almost 20yrs ago dont think ill ever go bak. u like it out ther? sumtimes i get the feelin people that go out ther dont wana go bak to the us mainland lol

I always return to Guam! Love it there.
If I ever think about going to Hawaii, I'll look into Guam instead. Looks so great.
Guam is tropical and beautiful❤
Guam is beautiful but very small
Do not do that. Guam is the plebeian a Hawaii.
@@michaelsiengo1 sorry you feel this way. Very typical for a non islander to say that
Awesome video man. Been stationed here for 4 years now and absolutely love it. Sorry to hear about your mom, prayers to you and the family.
We had a major Kmart here in Maui and it looks exactly the same, but our Kmart had more square footage. Sadly, it closed due to Walmart and Target eclipsing the store. Condolences to your family on your mom's homegoing 🙏
Guam born & raised now living in Washington. Great video. Hope you had a great time on the island. Glad you did this for your mom.
I did!
The best reason to go back to Guam, Ever since you told us about the story of the last console gift by your mom, I've been moved by it
Im indigenous to Guahan (Guam). Thanks for enjoying my island and sharing what you know with your followers. This is random but has anyone ever told you that you sound a lot like Grizzly from Cartoon Network's We Bare Bears.
hope the next time youre on island you shed more light on the southern villages (where Im from). Its culturally rich verses the touristy areas up north. We want the world to be attracted to Guam for other super cool and interesting reasons besides the Tumon hotels and Beaches. OTher than that good foodie vids! Makes me hungerrrryyyy.
Si yu'os ma'asi!
and condolences on the loss of your mother. It's warming knowing she loved my home and its nice that you're doing this for her. Respect.
You should hang out with Bryan, and thanks for watching!
I like the kmart in Guam alot busier than the three left in the States .....Australia has a ton of them
Lovely wholesome message at the end, enjoy your time in Guam.
Great video! I'm glad you enjoyed Guam and that your Mom had good memories of it. Guam has that effect on people.
I have loved this trip, learned so much and it seems like it was cathartic for you. Thanks for taking us along with you again Adam.
St Thomas USVI has 2 KMARTs that seemed to be thriving pre-Covid.
I just went to one in Puerto Rico, it was beyond dead. Interesting.
These videos are awesome! They deserve hundreds and thousands of views way better then any vlog chanel!
Thanks dude.
Mahalo for this video. Guam has been on my bucket list since college and your video breaks it down well.
Thanks for watching!
This is actually quite helpful for me to plan out my own trip to Guam for the first time! Thanks a lot!
Sure thing!
Thanks Adam, I was stationed at Anderson AFB in the late 70's, I was assigned to Strategic Air Command, so we had very little off duty time always on alert, but the time we did get we explored all over, The Islanders were some of the most friendly people I have ever met, many of my co workers were from the islands, back then there was very few jobs so many young folks went into the military, and being it was a remote assignment you could stay as long as you want, provided not wars started up, Many fond memories!!
Hope this gave you nostalgia!
Hafa adai, fello Guamanian! I just found your page and quite enjoying it! Great video of Guam!
Glad you liked it!

Meskla Dos is a sort of of broken spanish for mezclados or mixed up, seems Guam have been part of Spain in the past.
Correct, we inherited it from Spain after the Spanish/American war.
I have been to Guam twice and I think about going back all the time hopefully, I can make it out there one more time.
This was fun. First “vlog” of yours I’ve watched and will be continuing this journey with you. Thank you kind sir.
Thanks!
Thanks so much for the love you have for your mom. Much Blessings always.
Awesome video with a really great message at the end.
I need to go to Guam! Nice video Adam
I heard good things from your other channel about this place now I'm finally about to see the footage!
Hope you're enjoying it!
I was visiting my wife in mid March. For about two weeks in Guam. She took a temp spot for 3 months. And I visited here for two weeks. You do a good video. And we made our way to Saipan for a weekend. Spot on. Super empty and depressing. You and my wife definitely overlaped on Guam.
Ah, small world. Check out the Saipan video, maybe that overlaps too.
The Kmart in the Florida Keys closed last year. It was the only big box type store there. Without it, Walmart back in the miami area is the closest.
Thank you so much for sharing.
That kmart will never close down especially being the last big box store that would be ridiculous
To be fair, Don Quixote is opening one.
nice vid. thank you for liking guam. Very good you made memory for your mom.
Love it!... Congrats on your personal journey!...
Thanks!

You went halfway around the world to visit a department store and still avoided the pizza?
Pizza Pizza!
Thanks for these videos! Guam is on my bucket-list of places to explore now. Any idea about Real Estate cost? Hawaii (where I grew up) is WAY too expensive, considering actually moving if housing can be found for less than 1 mil :D
No idea to be honest, I only know it as a tourist. Someone like my buddy Bryan might be able to tell you.
It’s expensive as well
Great video, and i hope and pray your MoM regains some better, and enough strenght so she can visit Guam again 🙏. Thanks for the video, and sharing 🇬🇺.
Thanks, unfortunately she passed away a few years ago.
@@AdamEatsTheWorld 🙏
Dude, thanks for sharing! Goal is to get back!!
Thanks for watching!
I still have binders full of POGs from when I was in elementary school in the 90s. So when you were talking about syrup, thats where my mind went.
I was not correct... but the grilled cheese burger story was a much better reality. Happy for you!
I’m so homesick it’s so nice to see home ❤️
Glad I could help!
Yes food in Guam is really good
going back this summer after 12 years😳
Great video! Wife and I will be there next month? Any recommendations for public showers? Even outdoors would work. Thanks.
I didn't know that was a thing. Your hotel should have a shower.
i hope in 2024 it doesn't get too busy i like that the beach is secluded. really hyped to go since my partner is part Guamanian, it will be great for my daughters to learn more about their ancestry
Now that Japan is open, I doubt it'll stay like that much longer.
Did you get to try the chocolate samples?
Not on this trip, but in the past yes.
This is cool to show me the cool spot on Guam I want to spend aleast one day in Guam.
Man, love that dream cast intro. 🤜🤛
Great video
Fun fact about those cocacola bottles, there is actually 3 in Guam. One in Tumon which was in the video. The other two is located at The Guam Football association. And the other one is located at the cocacola main office in Barrigada.
That's cool! There's actually some on Saipan too.

Thanks for the vlog! I will visit there next year.. i work in korea and dont want to trek all the way back home to the East coast... btw, panda express is also in Korea. They used to have taco bell once upon a time as well.
Also, is tipping culture there like the mainland or non-existent like northern Asia?
It's the US through and through. Expect anything you'd expect in the US with just a handful of quirks. But yes, tipping is standard.
Great Video Adam. The food looked delicious, You've made me hungry gonna have to go fix myself something to eat now - only got some cup-a-soup in though :-D Wishing you all the best.
This is wild. I live in Indiana, which is on the eastern time zone and it’s about 6:20 AM in India. It’s 10:50 AM in Guam right now. That’s wild. Almost 4 hours ahead of India which is crazy to think about. Maybe even 4 1/2 hours ahead of India. Thanks for the video!

God bless you Adam and your entire family. that was awesome what you did in her memory that was very funny how she had that sandwich down to the last bite. hopefully she was having one you at the same time. GOD BLESS AND STAY SAFE
Awesome video Adam!
And there 3 Kmart in USA , bridghamton new York and Westwood new Jersey and Miami Florida are ones left in 2022
There's more than that, but they're mostly in the US territories.
My favorite beach is Ypao...lots of beach and coral reefs not to far into the water. I did get nipped by a trigger fish.
I’m gonna try the Twinkie thingy!!! You make it look super yummy
Unfortunately, I don't think they make it anymore. :(
Hafa Adai Adam thanks for sharing I miss my Island home.
The jet lag never gets me lol. Not even when flying back to Seattle. I always force myself to sleep on the plane
I never sleep on planes.
I'm new here.... did you go out into the island?
Guam? Yeah, I have a few videos about it.
Do they have a water park
That I'm not sure about.
Thanks for sharing , miami Florida
You're from Miami?
We have a lot of Chupa Chups sodas in our stores in Sweden, imported though…
They might be Korean, take a look next time.
God bless you for trying sir continue on on your adventure sir
Loved it, thanks.
96 Olympics daric made Guam proud!! 🇬🇺 Gold in 100 free style!!
Heyyy I’m in guam and thx for adding KMart I went there❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
Just read that both Gamestops closed in April. I guess Amazon can remedy that?? Shipping costs to Guam are probably astronomical.
Yeah, they closed. Yes.... though it's US soil so most of the shipping costs are tax subsidized.
Cue the James Bond music at 15:16

I have a few Guam videos coming up. Hope they help!
@@AdamEatsTheWorld I'll be patiently waiting!
There’s 323 Kmarts in Australia and New Zealand
Thats why guam Kmart is making alot because it is the only Kmart in this part!
I have a k mart near me that’s just abandoned sitting there closed shut down

I don't know any specific farm, I'm guessing you could find that information online.
I pray my job takes me to Guam sometime.... there is Navy Units we support there
Just pray it's not during summer. Too hot.
@@AdamEatsTheWorld Id take Spring or fall because when we travel we work outside
Bless your mom.
Guam
kmart is the busiest !!!
Wow, COVID has really made hotel road look like a ghost town, that area where your walking use to be the busiest tourist area… oh yes use to eat there Eggs & Things but their hours opens later than what your time is entering in for breakfast ..

Why during the winter and not summer?Also where are the ATVs?
Summer gets very very very hot.
I didn't seek out ATVs but I'd imagine more common on the southern side of the island.
yk growing up on guam and absolutely loving little ceasars..... hearing someone talk shit about it really makes me envious of what kinda pizzerias yall have stateside. We missing out huh hahaha
Yes, you have certain wonderful things. But you couldn't pay me to eat that trash.
Lol. I've Rollerbladed down that steep hill. Happy landing road. Gotta have mr brown coffee and Assam black tea. It's like crack lol
Is it still the last?
Not yet, soon to be probably.
Adam is here to see what you are about
Thanks, fellow Adam.
What hotel are you using?
At the beginning or at the end?
My mom told me she used to love Kmart. I have never seen a Kmart before
I didn't like Kmart in the 80s. At least our local one wasn't very good. Even the prices weren't that great if you wanted something decent. Anyway, I've been to this Kmart on Guam and it's great.

There is Panda Express in Seoul.

@adamEatsTheWorld I tip my hats off to you sir for making this video while you are in Guam, thank you for doing so. But there is no coffee factory or coffee farm in the island of Guam, every thing is imported. God bless you sir.
No, it's still a thing.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_production_in_Guam
It's just very limited. That's why I was making a big deal about it.
I hope you're doing ok, brother!
im wondering are those older grocery stores on guam are stil in buisness like bunny market n man i cant remember the names of the other ones. but dam those wer the old school stores lol. of course payless will never die. i left guam almost 20yrs ago dont think ill ever go bak. u like it out ther? sumtimes i get the feelin people that go out ther dont wana go bak to the us mainland lol
I like it quite a bit as a tourist. Payless actually just opened a new super center. As for smaller shops, I'm not sure to be honest.
Those coffee from Indonesia were not really good and little bit expensive in Indonesia 😀
BRO YOU SHOULDVE GOT THE CHAMORRO CHIP COOKIES TO BRING HOME 10:46 DDD: LOL
I've had those before...tad dry. :/
Ahh okay lol
Just imagine a can of spam costs $2.60 something like that.
Thanks for the video but more of the Island and less of the downtown would have been nice.
You mean like the other videos in the series?
Is traveling your other passion aside from video games? If so, we are very alike lol
I'd say so.
Kings or Linda's Cafe for me
Australia has 323 Kmarts 👍👍
Kmart!!!!
