    Extractions: Our tour was okay - there could have been a lot to see, but our tour guide was having problems with his English and so he forgot to tell us anything until we returned to the bus - early because we didn’t know what we were seeing. Other tours left earlier than ours and got back later than ours - all of us on a 4-hour tour. Ours lasted 3 hours on the dot and that was with going to an extra place. It was interesting to see some of the places where the Japanese and American militaries had their strongholds on one another. Also to learn about the time the Spanish were in control. It wasn’t that our guide Elliot didn’t know, he just does the tour in Japanese more often and he cannot translate it to English very well. He also was born in the Philippines and so speaks one of the dialects from there, as well. Not sure which dialect he speaks from there - he didn’t say. We returned to a very quiet ship as many passengers had taken the shuttle bus into town to the shopping mall - not sure why they needed to go to the mall when they come to Guam. Some then went on walking tours around the town from there, others rented cars or taxis for tours, didn’t have to pay for them to come all the way out to the pier. In the evening on the ship a group of young people (probably in their teens) came and performed some dances for us. It was a beautiful show - they did local traditional dances, dances from the Spanish influence in the area, and some that crossed between their local traditional dances and more modern day dances. It was a wonderful show. After that they showed the movie “Letters from Iwo Jima.”

Alamagan aus SWzS (1 � sm) Die vorliegende Ver�ffentlichung befasst sich mit der Inselgruppe der Marianen, die von 1899 - 1920 zu den deutschen Schutzgebieten in der S�dsee geh�rte, und zwar speziell mit demjenigen Teil der n�rdlichen Gruppe, die von den Chamorros (Ureinwohnern der Inseln) "GANI" genannt wurde. In einer Zeit, in der es m�glich ist, die Ausma�e eines Kraters auf dem Planeten Mars mit erstaunlicher Genauigkeit zu bestimmen, sollte man auch zuverl�ssige Angaben f�r die Fl�che und h�chste Erhebung einer Marianeninsel erwarten k�nnen. Dass dies nicht so ist, stellten wir beim Vergleich der Angaben in der Literatur bis 1971 und der zugeh�rigen Kartenwerte fest. So fanden wir f�r die H�he des h�chsten Berges der Inselkette (auf Agrigan) Angaben zwischen 275 m und 965 m; f�r die Fl�che der Insel Sarigan einerseits 59 qkm und andererseits 5 qkm.
