20 TRUTHS Living on GUAM (Do Tourists Know?)

Video Description

In this video, I wanted to take the time to provide you with my personal understandings of what it is like living on Guam after just a few months. I know it's difficult to judge Guam after the recent typhoon, especially since I wasn't here before it. I know that many things are a touchy situation and always have been. The goal of this video is to bring some things into the spotlight (even though some shift between the light and shadows) that way you (local or tourist) can understand what living here could be like. My idea of this video is still to show appreciation towards Guam while making us all aware of the many things some like to hide away. We want a better and brighter future for the island, for locals, and for tourists. We want to have a quality life and enjoy the beauty of this Pacific Paradise. There are many parties to be held accountable with such series of changes, but unfortunately our voices are never strong enough. Let's cross our fingers and hope that the path forward is of improvement and correct judgement. I'd like to have an open discussion with you all. Tell me below: how do you feel about these things? Are there any other things that should be brought out from under the carpet? How do we tackle such situations? And lastly, what do you love most about Guam? ----------------- 🔹Locations 🔹 Guam: https://goo.gl/maps/fZrdCnMr2t5qQ6aC9 Asan Beach: https://goo.gl/maps/wttCarFJg5Jbjwgv9 Ypao: https://goo.gl/maps/VduiAFSfnvx7gnrj9 Paseo Point: https://goo.gl/maps/3vJFzoLB4uQxgEgh9 ----------------- Vlog 086 ----------------- 🔻Video Chapters🔻 00:00 Introduction 00:45 Living on Guam for 3 Months | Why I'm Making This Video 03:30 #1 - Nature 03:58 #2 - Some Tourists Don't Leave The Tourist Zone 05:02 #3 - Weather Gets Crazy 06:05 #4 - The Rules of the Road Are More like Suggestions 07:05 #5 - Tourist Zones Resemble US States 08:10 #6 - The Government Doesn't Always Do What it Says 09:42 #7 - Lack of Energy Supply for the Demand 10:40 #8 - Lack of Works to Complete A Job 11:00 #9 - High Unemployment Rate (Always Fluctuating) 11:45 #10 - Construction is Never Convenient 12:38 #11 - Imports/Exports Take FOREVER! 13:30 #12 - The Locals Are Friendly & Hospitable 14:15 #13 - Spike in Homeless Population 15:13 #14 - Pollution Happens (Illegal Dumping) 17:20 #15 - Abundance of Stray Dogs 18:15 #16 - Military Lives A Cheaper Life (HUGE Discount) 19:10 #17 - Cost of living is Increasing Rapidly (Because of military) 19:28 #18 - Low minimum Wage 20:20 #19 - Terrible Roads & Lighting Outside of Tourist Zones 20:50 Guam is So Beautiful but the Interior is Crumbling? 22:20 #20 - Do People Really Trust the Government? 23:06 (EXTRA 1) Convenient Home Base for Americans/Locals Traveling SEA 24:45 (EXTRA 2) - You Don't Really See Police Ever 25:08 Wrapping Up How I Feel About Guam After A Few Months ----------------- Follow me here: 🔹IG: https://www.instagram.com/reardon_explores/ 🔹1st Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbCAuJNxWSthsiA4uNk6tTg 🔹Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ReardonExplores/
