U.S. currency, most of the people you see are American servicemen (there are 5 military bases on the 7mile long island...) and all the shops are the same as you would see in any small American town. Guam reminds me of a cross between So.Florida and San Diego, only compressed down into a mile or two of shopping streets. Because of the close proximity of the Marianna Trench, the variety of marine life that can be seen on a single dive is nothing short of amazing!
