Paradise is Chamorro
After a very warm and funny Christmas, here are finally a few pictures ....
5 Things to Know about Guam
- Where the hell is Guam ?
Guam is located at 13° 26′ 31″ N 144° 46′ 35″ E - How does Guam look like ?
Well, depends on how do you define paradise .... - Where do I get a map ?
It took me some time to figure this out when I came here. The best way of getting a map is either asking in one of the big hotels or at Two Lover's Point - Which language do they speak in Guam ?
Guam is an US territory, so the official language is english. - How are the native people of the island called ?
They're called Chamorros
5 Places you Must Go while you're in Guam
- Tarague Beach
If you like a nice and quiet place to chill out and enjoy paradise ... - The Gapgab
Almost the westernmost point of the USA and a nice place to go snorkeling - Ypao Beach
Located right next to the big hotels. Unfortunately very crowded by tourists. - Ritidian Point
Another very nice beach which is located in the wildlife preserve. - Two Lovers Point
Very nice overview over the island and also a perfect place for your next wedding ....
5 Pubs and Bars
- The Tower of London
A very cool english pub with all sorts of foreign beers. - Jimmy's Beach Bar
Having fun on the beach ... - Hard Rock Cafe
Of course, there's a Hard Rock Cafe in Guam. - Brewery
This isn't just a brewery, but a cool nightclub where you can dance and have a lot of fun. - Denial

A warm and sunny place ....
Today was my last day of work before my christmas vacations. Now it's time for me to start packing my bags and get ready to leave - on Monday, I'm flying to Guam for 16 wonderful days :-)
At the moment, it's 81 F or 27 C there and the beach is waiting for me ....
Before I'm leaving, I also have a little Christmas present for you guys: after 18 months, there's finally another debugger release - it's called 0.11 "Guam" :-)
You can get the debugger at http://primates.ximian.com/~martin/debugger/mono-debugger-0.11.tar.gz. This release requires Mono 1.1.11, and - unlike most previous debugger releases - this one works with the released Mono and doesn't require you to use SVN. The debugger tarball also contains a pre-built version of Cecil, so you don't need to get that separately.
The documentation of the debugger can be found on the Mono website at http://www.mono-project.com/Guide:Debugger
Ok, now it's time for me wish you all Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year - I'll be back on January 9th - if I can get any internet access in Guam, I'll try to post some pictures ....
