    Don’t reckon I know bout no electrics in guam. But I’ve always wondered if guacamole is better in guam. I mean, I’m assumin that’s where it’s from. Shucks, I don’t know, maybe I’m just gettin crazy in my old age.

    Hi Kiki. No, electronics on Guam are usually as or more expensive as compared to the U.S. mainland. Everything here needs to be shipped in either by boat or by plane. Sometimes you can find good deals on stuff you might like, but in my experience you are trading off a savings for something a little less capable than what you would get in the states for the same price. The difference probably wont be noticed in most of the low- to mid-range stuff you might buy, but with the higher end stuff you will definitely notice a price difference. Don’t let that deter you though, theres lots of goodies to be had at a reasonable price if you have the time to shop around. Good luck to you!
