My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

This desserted Gun Club is located in the heart of the elite shopping district of Tumon Bay, which is also a 'reserve'. High end shops line the wide streets, while busses of Japanese Tourists visit the highly airconditioned duty free stores. There is no sign of what Tumon village used to look like or any links to Chamorro culture.

Carabao were most likely brought to the island during the Spanish occupation. Today, they symbolize Chamorro culture and are seen in parks, villages and on ranches. This shot was taken at a park that has been neglected- hence the missing information sign.
