The students were able to participate in a variety of meaningful cultural activities, such as visiting the Consul General and going to CHamoru Village, Three Squares restaurant, Karera cultural show at Sand Castle, Inarajan Falls, Mt. LamLam, Vitale’s Italian Restaurant, Cetti Bay, Tao Tao Tasi show, Two Lovers Point, Meskla Dos, the beach, jet skiing, water park, Underwater World, Jeff’s Pirates Cove, shopping, GPO theaters, special airline flight, and more. They made great new friends and learned so much about Guam’s culture! Enjoy the following Okayama Student Exchange snapshots!
