From 1998 to 1999, I worked as a newspaper reporter for The Pacific Daily News on Guam.
It’s a U.S. territory in the Western Pacific and where, as island residents will tell you, America’s Day Begins.
The newsroom had the nice feel of a coffee house with reporters thinking of ideas, chasing news and writing stories. And there was much news to be had out there.

When I spotted Amritha Alladi’s article in The Pacific Daily News about dining options for vegetarians on Guam, I perked up.
Not only did it talk about tofu but it also reminded me that, thanks to the international dateline, this is where America’s day begins – the story is dated Sept. 10, 2009.
I worked for the newspaper for about a year or so back in the late 1990s.
Over the years, many people in the continental United States have asked: What’s life like on Guam?
It’s a place full of rich history and intriguing stories.
