I was a reporter for The Pacific Daily News from 1993 to 1996 and I covered the official opening of that K Mart! It was an amazing experience - fully one third of Guam's population came out that day to come to K Mart.

[@sallieusesay759]

My name is Sallieu karim am planning to visit Guam next year can you give me your contact

[@williamjones6031]

I did a total of 7 1/2 years on Guam and loved it. I think about it all the time. Hafa Adai everyone😁 The last time I was there was 2007 and I transferred to Hawaii bot I was so spoiled living on Guam that I was extremely disappointed. The busiest beach on the Island is the one at Anderson AFB on the weekend if you can get on base.. Visitors, feel free to visit the villages when they fiesta. Everyone is welcome.🤗

[@JamesMurray3]

One of my buddies is from Guam. This makes me want to visit there even more.

[@AdamEatsTheWorld]

Guam is great.

[@50whatnomadtravelnursemtb5]

probably the most eclectic K-mart ever, it's Guam in a nutshell really...so unique of a destination you just have to go and explore yourself...Adam is spot on!

[@neocollector808]

Good to see youre in Guam again

[@godncountry8323]

That Kmart store brought back memories!!!

[@CCH3900]

Today we join our Bearded Nerd as he gets rained on so instead of going out and exploring nature he takes a viewer stationed over in Guam to a K-Mart wheree the get weird flavoured food, that apparently is surprisingly good. They also get burgers and fries (that looked very tasty). The next day Adam gets a brief windows to go to the beach and go in the water (maybe I should call him a Soggy Bearded Nerd in this episode). Then he goes to get a heavy duty breakfast before meeting up with a local man who has been in these videos before where he will later subject to eating weird Japan based chocolates and candy. They also will get Korean BBQ. - Great stuff as usual Adam, that breakfast looked awesome, fattening, but awesome.

[@JuniorJr_23]

Nice content about Guam. I'll be going there in October. Thanks

[@CandisClassicGameShrine]

I love that they still have Little Caesars in the Kmart in Guam. I love these Guam videos. Despite the rain it’s still so pretty. The spam burger looked good and that French toast looked freaking delicious. Those melon and orange chocolate Kit Kats are great. I have the chocolate orange now. That Korean food had me drooling 🤤

[@Jane20121985]

I just came here for Kmart

[@emmetee9675]

Loved how it was not crowded at the beach and the store wasn’t crowded. The store was nicely organized and stocked. All I could think is that it wouldn’t look nice like that in some parts of the mainland. It’s the perks of being in a small island.

[@THERTOGAL]

I lived in Guam in the early 1970’s. Such a beautiful island. There’s way too many people there now do to the US Military. It’s not large enough to take on so many people. It was a beautiful place to live in and safe. Had a child who was 3 months old when I arrived to join my husband and then a couple years later our daughter was born in Guam. I enjoyed going to the beach almost daily, taking the babies as I snorkeled around. I always promised my son & daughter I’d take them to where they used to live but a spinal injury and disease has taken that gift away. Enjoy the beautiful island of Guam!

[@tabbyb4421]

We were stationed at Andersen AFB from 1974 to 1978.....my sister and I were 11 when we got there (twins). It was SUCH an amazing place to live! We were there when the Vietnamese refugees were brought in, and for Super Typhoon Pamela in 76 or 77, can't remember for sure. Eating at the Latte Stone, the outdoor movie theaters, the roller rink, and of course the beaches!! Talofofo Falls, Mount Lam Lam. The very first escalator at the new Ben Franklin's had people lined up around the store just to ride it! LOVED the food! Got addicted to lumpia there. No, it isn't nearly the same now. But we were blessed to have a chance to live there!

[@1pdelapaz]

Dude. Love your content, born and lived there for 30yrs. I played music there for sometime if you’re ever in Eugene OR hit me up. I love to swap stories. The Guam Musicians and music scene is crazy good. I appreciate what you are doing for the island.

[@BertsBEATS-MDBC]

Hey I am from Guam. Love this video. It is so expensive to fly back. I now live in Texas. Good review of my home.

[@C_B_Hubbs]

Vermonter here. I can confirm, we collaborated with our maple counterpart Canadians to the north and the Indian community in the Big Apple NYC to create the maple curry concoction. And we struck a deal with Japan to distribute it across the world in the most distant part of our same country. Both Guam and Vermont are mistaken for being not in the USA but other countries (Japan/Canada) 😂 so we have that in common.

[@odesangel]

I was born and raised in Guam, but I've lived in the states for over 20 years now. One thing I miss most is the Asian cuisine. I've lived in the Seattle area, SoCal, and now Chicago for several years. With the exception of maybe K-town in L.A., I have not found an area that matches Guam when it comes to East and S.E. Asian cuisine.

[@lisabrawn9134]

I lived on Guam for 3 yrs. My husband and I were washed out to sea at sharks hole! But a beautiful place. I loved it!!!

[@stevegusse1451]

I was stationed there in 1972 and 1973. Loved it then. Wow, has it changed! I'm shocked that Congressman Hal Johnson was wrong and the island still hasn't tipped over due to all of the people there now!

[@AdamEatsTheWorld]

That was the funniest thing ever.

[@williambrodiebrodiebrodie5473]

Love Guam was there in 95 changed so much

[@williambrodiebrodiebrodie5473]

I was there when they had the Pacific star hotel ,. Haputo Beach, two lovers leap. Awesome

[@AdamKoralik]

Yeah, we got it, Kmart is a thing.

[@stevenjamesosma3246]

Cool video. Nice to see another side of the states. Fun fact, those gummies are all soda flavored. They are marketed as "tough" gummies (which is why your friend said they are tough.) The Yellow one is a "Energy Soda", the brown one is "energy cola" and the orange one is "energy ginger ale." The energy alludes to "energy drinks" which is the basis of the energy soda flavor. Had them all of the time when I was living in Japan.

[@shanehayes9349]

Was stationed at Andersen AFB, Guam 04-06. Absolutely loved it! Would love to go back and visit someday. Perhaps when I'm on my way back to the Philippines to visit I could stop on by there. You're correct it's paradise...I call it a hidden gem. Also, you mentioned Sears and I know Blockbuster's Video in your other vlog. When I was stationed in Fairbanks, AK somewhat recent 15-19....we had two Blockbuster's there and a Sears. Obviously they closed a few years ago but they had to be one the of last remaining.

[@AdamEatsTheWorld]

I was actually up in Fairbanks a few years ago, quite enjoyed the Banks Ale House.

[@shanehayes9349]

@@AdamEatsTheWorld Nice! Did you happen to make it to Silver Gulch Brewery? “Most northern brewery in the U.S” Food and local beer is awesome too!

There’s over 300 Kmarts in Australia and New Zealand. They still exist.

I was just on Guam this past month, was around for the grand opening of the Village of Donki.

[@AdamEatsTheWorld]

How was it?

[@kiyu6717]

It's also the Largest Kmart in the world

[@birdman5223]

We were there last Christmas, very nice but it is different😉 The food trucks in Hagatña on Thurday nights are a MUST.

[@AnnoyD]

Lived in Saipan all my life. Never really went anywhere. Maybe I should go down south during Christmas or something.

[@AdamEatsTheWorld]

Try it, check Guam out. Short hop away.

[@VictorSanGil]

I'm from Guam and loveeeee saipan so much that my other half and I decided to get married there. I still have to make my way over to Tinian and Rota.

[@CheeRobert]

Thanks for the video, i used to work in a shooting range there same building.

[@savery1979]

Little Pikas across the street out in front of McDonalds is good too. If you go back you need to hit Pirate Cove on the other side of the island and McKrauts.

[@georgeboahene3254]

positive vibes 👍👍

I' stayed at the PAC STAR in 2016. Walked the beach to check out the old pill boxes from the Japanese.

[@RaymondWalinski]

Greetings from the jersey shore surf s up

[@tbtaijeron]

It's called violet crumble

[@frankwhite2072]

That's gotta be the biggest little Caesars in the world. Darrell Lea is great, especially the green apple. You can usually find them at drug stores like riteaid and cvs. You really don't skimp on flying or eating, GJ.

[@greasemonkey5637]

The chocolate coated honeycomb bars we have in Australia are crunchier and violet crumble. Darrell lea is famous for its licorice and chocolate in Australia but I have never seen that flavour or packaging.

[@darktetsuya]

my wife says they have the cinnamon toast crunch popcorn here in the states, might think about picking up a bag and trying some! always look forward to seeing these in my feed every week.

[@ag4allgood]

Guam K Mart walk thru was really good to see. Prices are still high like mainland US. I expected lower prices on food.

[@thomasmury9480]

I've watched a number of your videos on Guam and love them, but you need to rent a car and get to the southern paert of the island. Merizo pier at the south end on the island, Inarajan pools and Jeff's Pirates Cove for a cheeseburger in paradise overlooking the pacific.

[@bullsfan2021]

Dude I get more hyped for these videos than anything on your main channel these days lol 😂 not that your main is bad I just really enjoy these vids

[@mookie3three]

Dude the Nori seaweed Lays are amazing. Btw I went to Kmart in Melbourne last weekend fun times. Our Kmarts are only related to yours in name only. Fun fact the owner of Kmart here also owned Target and converted I think the remaining Targets into Kmart. The honeycomb chocolate bar is Crunchie or Violet Crumble

[@tyeralexander7346]

The kmart only have three stores in us and Westworld New Jersey and bridghamton new York and Miami Florida

I was disappointed that (Don Don) Donki Village was still not open when I visited in June.

[@EmilyEverglot]

OMG KMart cracked me up

[@kawaii89123]

Wow so beautiful

[@ilcool90]

That French toast looks at least 1000 calories. Orange Kit Kat is great.

[@timthorpe7582]

i get it cuz i'm not a fan of over crowded places , but then again i'm not a big people person.thought of moving there but heard there's a lot of crime and plus heard it's expensive to live there.

[@hectorgarza6725]

The Hilton we did the lagoon and the swimming pool

[@ZendreGlymph]

@Adam I love Kmart. Unfortunately all of the Kmarts in Hawaii closed 😢. Definitely catch me a hop over to Guam.

[@anothercheryladventure9387]

Oh No. No Kmart 😮

[@영차영차-i1z]

11:40 Another interesting thing to note is how much more frosting the US Oreo-os have. Korean sweets in general are much more subtle in flavour. 14:47 That's a "Jollypong" latte. Jollypong is a brand of sweet wheat-based snack, so that's basically a wheat snack-infused latte. Some places here serve lattes with the actual wheat snack on top of the latte. 32:07 Japchae is actually a pretty healthy choice! Japchae is a food traditionally served when someone has guests. The Kimchi Jon (pancake) is usually more of a side dish, and goes great with alcohol. Brian's cheese, chicken, and ddeokbokki (glutinous rice cake) is a comfort food favourite among the young. The side dishes are usually eaten on their own as bites in between the meal and not mixed, but if that's your bag then totally go for it. Anyway, you guys got a great feast! Thanks for sharing the journey as always! Guam is a really interesting mix of cultures and seems like a fun and fascinating place to visit.

[@lindao55]

Just helping you out - Tumon - two-mon, Hafa - hau like hahahaha-fa, not like Half-a, Temps all year range from low of 76 to high of 88 (average). It's not hotter in the summer. LOL Enjoy your trips....I'm so jealous!! Also - go eat at Shirley's Cafe next time. I LOVE THIER FRIED RICE.

Appreciated!

[@BRIANOCONNOR2003]

8:32 except for plaza rio hondo and rexville because those kmarts were good Kmart in Plaza Atlantico was terrible because they had a terrible customer service and kmart in plaza las americas it was a mix for me because i didn't go to kmart in plaza las Americas a lot only a few times between 2011 and 2021

[@tyeralexander7346]

And Sears has one in Porter Rico and one in Washington state one in North Carolina and Massachusetts and New Jersey and two in California and Three I. Florida

[@kcarson]

Kmart bought Sears years ago. They must have sold the Craftsman name as you see it in Lowe’s, Ace Hardware and even Carquest auto parts.

[@AdamEatsTheWorld]

I think it was Sears buying Kmart.

[@kcarson]

@@AdamEatsTheWorld Research a little deeper. Kmart bought out Sears though it didn’t do either company any good.

[@tyeralexander7346]

There only 7 kmart left one in Guam three in us two in saint croix vergin islands and two in saint Thomas vergin islands

[@jonhoffmeister8254]

That hotel you stayed at looks like the Holiday Day Inn, How did you like it? Going in December and it is on my list to consider. Just don't want it to be a dump.

[@AdamEatsTheWorld]

Holiday Resort? It was fine. Definitely not top tier but not awful either. Could best be described as mid. Beach access was decent though. Proximity to stores like Kmart was decent though.

[@joalmeda2687]

Guam is part of the Philippines during colonial era

[@AdamEatsTheWorld]

Quick question, are there many survivors left from the WW2 era on the island? Would absolutely love if you ran across one somewhere and did a quick QandA video with them.

When I was transferred I handed the car to another sailor. I was wondering if the car is still on the island. I know it's a tall order but I'm thinking that it is still on the island. Thank you.

This is funny. It's the same with the Willis Tower vs Sears Tower moniker here in Chicago. If you say "Willis Tower" around locals, they'll make it a point to let you know they still call it the Sears Tower. It's interesting how corporate branding can become a part of a person's identity.

Actually Sears also gets money buy owning Guitar Center. It's a chain of guitar stores throughout the United States. Well, I am not certain that they still own Guitar Center. But if they do then they are making a lot of money owning that.
