SPOILER ALERT: Guam. Guam wins.                                                                                                  This last week I had the opportunity to take a break from vacation, which is actually just work with less people around, and take a real vacation and go visit the nearby island Guam. I had made these plans in the hopes of getting some good Mexican food as there is none on Saipan. I never thought I would like it so much! The food! The People. The food, the views, the food, the shopping, the food! Did I mention food? Seriously after being in Saipan for 6 months, I felt like I was eating like Royalty.  I decided to do a points system to really compare the two islands just so I am being completely fair to Saipan. Because in truth Saipan has a lot going for it. Food                                                                                                                                                      I'm sure you could guess the winner here, Its

I don't have a lot to say here's some pictures I've taken over the last few weeks enjoy!

Hey, thought I would  do another, "Things I've learned in Saipan" post. If you want to check out the first one I wrote click  here.   I'd like to do another 20 questions post sometime so if anyone has any questions they would like answered please let me know. There are spiders everywhere you go so bring a stick with you when hiking to clear the path. If IT&E thinks they might loose your business they will do whatever it takes to keep you. Especially when you have 4+ connections with them. In this climate, Gatorade is better than water. When Pizza Hut says 20 minutes they mean 40. Plan ahead. And double check they gave you onions. I can see movies in theaters 24 hours before the United States so those of you who don't want the new Thor spoiled can donate money to me via my PayPal. Not a threat, just a suggestion. It's impossible to get deals on gas here since all the stations seem to be participating in price fixing, There are a lot of servic

Well I wanted to post this on Sunday while everything was fresh in my mind... but clearly that didn't happen. This time instead of writing from my awesome apartment I'm posting from a place called Mango 6. Its kinda a drink and food place, and yes they do server mangos. I originally came here to study. (wow never thought I'd say that again... or Ever...) I'm currently studying IT stuff, Networking to be specific, so I can try to get a job in the IT field when I return the the wonderful United States. The weekend was mostly uneventful. We had pathfinders on Sabbath and i taught the First Aid honor. The kids didn't seem interested but I don't really blame them. That's not their most interesting honor. The kids want the Video Gaming honor. Maybe we can create that one for them. Saturday night we went to a Chinese restaurant. The food was decent but they took forever bringing it out. Sunday, I slept in. I think the longest I have slept in since I have been here.

Wow has it been a while since i posted one of these. When I first got here I expected that I would post once or twice a week. I think the last thing I posted was about a month ago. I don't if I can remember everything that happened, but here are the highlights. I got the maintenance shed (shipping container) all cleaned out and fixed up. Before there was no walking room. I put in a wall, to divide the maintenance from the ground added electricity and lights so you could actually see what you were doing, and yes the all important air conditioner. Still running out of space to put things though. I had a birthday on the island, I tried to keep it quiet but my mom spilled the beans in a very nice Facebook post. All in all it was good though, went to work then came home and made myself some Mexican food, which was pretty good. Last week on Wednesday morning I woke up long enough to see my power go out. This worried me because last time my power was out it took them  two weeks  to turn i
