Absolutely great food on Guam. I liked TARO, BREADFRUIT. That spicy green mango slices, Also lots of Chuukese, Ponape, Palaun food thrown in the mixture on Saipan. Then Japanese and Korean food all excellent.

[@JamesArkansas2386]

I really enjoy your video, no drama, it's just a channel to sit back and relax. James from Arkansas

[@TropicShade]

I appreciate that and always appreciate your comments!

[@deangomez9268]

Melon and Water Melon Shakes are good for warm days.

[@deangomez9268]

Love making Papaya Milk Shake everyday.

[@deangomez9268]

Make Yellow and Green Mango Milk Shake. Green is Sour, Yellow is Sweet

[@EIGOmanOkamoto]

It all looks good.Thanks. We always like our visit there. Just hard to do it these days.

[@TropicShade]

It really is!

[@kennethseeholzer8122]

[@jamesowens2781]

Always good to watch your videos. That lechon man I am hungry now but it is still a wasted effort still no taste or smell maybe later

[@TropicShade]

Covid?... The smell & taste will come back.

[@jamesowens2781]

@@TropicShade yep 14 days straight . I figure when it comes back I am hitting my favorite restaurant though

[@auroraalmeida3184]

$4.75 for arroz caldo is expensive, it’s very easy to make.

[@TropicShade]

Most places it costs more than that!

[@pacificrules]

Guam and Philippines are 98% genetically the same people.

[@TropicShade]

That's why they are so culturally similar.

[@pacificrules]

@@TropicShade Exactly... And it also applies to all Pacific Islanders who emigrated from Indonesia/Malaysia. They sailed out to find new homes in the Pacific circa the year 5000 BC. Look up Austronesia (Language, People, Culture, etc.). As a Pacific Islander, I learned it in 2009 and I fully embraced it. I am very proud of my history and my Indonesian/Malaysian ancestors.

[@TropicShade]

My ancestors come from the historical lands of the Bohemian Crown ruled by Bohemian kings... a land known only for kolaches, goulash, and bread dumplings! lol

[@ayankinthephilippines1416]

Can you use your Medicare in Guam?

[@TropicShade]

Absolutely!

[@cristinateller9107]

Message me when you go to the Farmers Market again Terry; will meet and I'll bring you Pandesal

[@TropicShade]

I think she is talking about next weekend. I'll try to remember. Thanks!

[@AmericanExpatInThePhilippines]

Filipino food is mostly boring, too sweet, and not fun to eat.

[@TropicShade]

While I agree that much of it doesn't appeal to me, I do like the soups, lumpia, pancit, and a few other dishes. I tend to stay away from the Kawali and all that fat-fried stuff.

[@greenworld3078]

Guam is the Philippines territory before the Spanish american war that is the truth.. thats why Filipino in Guam is Filipino culture

[@TropicShade]

While it's true that Guam, along with the rest of the Mariana and Caroline islands, were treated by Spain as part of their colony in the Philippines, Guam was never part of or a possession of the Philippines. The very similar cultures were both heavily influenced by the Spaniards.
