Saipan- Sun, Sea and Sand

Located at the Marianas Islands, Saipan is an American Colony located near the Philippines.

Saipan,  will always be remembered as one of the most special places I've been. It's the first country that I've seen aside from the Philippines. Very neat, westernized and quiet. A whole lot of different from where I came from. (Will post the looks of my hometown pretty soon.)

Because of it's clean environment, birds like this one roams freely. I imagine this flyer soaring up in my hometown, next thing it'll now, he's fried or he's sold for a dollar or two. The setting is a mix of country with a city life swag. So it's a great place to relax and stroll around. There are a lot of spot that are picturesque.

Just like the Saipan Sunset. I took this image directly outside of our hotel. The beachfront was not polluted, the grains of the beach were fine and white. The fishes roam around the shores freely.

The beach itself wasn't crowded either. A very soothing spot to relieve stress from your ordinary city life. The water is warm too. Tourists like me and some Japanese enjoyed the sun and the beach for FREE.

The under the sea experience was awesome too. I saw a lot of Nemo's and Dory's down at the Pacific. Corals were well preserved, and the locals were really friend. It wasn't costly either. The Chammorro's (Island Natives), charged ten bucks for the reef walk, cheap stuff right?

The food was pricey though. We had a genuine steak for around twenty dollars. But here's the hot tip. Most of the worker's there are kababayan's, so let it be known that your Filipino. A small talk could be rewarding. (Free red wines and soups to name a few).

And when your done eating. You can jump off this cliff and call it quits. Kidding. This is the Suicide Cliff. Stories said that this is where most of the Japanese ended their lives honorably. They threw themselves off the cliff after stabbing their abdominals with their knives or swords. It is near the highest peak of the Island.

A 3D/ 2N visit will do if your planning on seeing Saipan since it's just a small island. And you'll be flooded with a lot of American- Japanese war stories. People are friendly, and it's a relatively cheap place too. It's a definite must see for travelers whom wishes to experience a laid back, westernized, beach experience.
