future Guam gal for a year?
Every month or so I decide I really need to get out of my current job. I do very little work, get as many days off as I'd like and my patients are almost always appreciative (atleast I take what is being said as good things, since I dont speak Cantonese and my translators like to do very little work too). Those dedicated blog-readers out there know I was considering moving back to Boston to take a teaching job, but luckily that job didnt turn out to be offered to me, so I'm still at Chinatown optical. The latest search has turned up this:Job Description: Guam, where America's day begins! Experience the island life style while practicing your profession on the tropical island of Guam, a U.S. territory. If you enjoy travel and would like to venture into the Asia Pacific region, then Guam is the perfect starting point of all great trips and recreation. FHP Vision Center, a state of the art facility for over 20 years and remains the leader in the Western Pacific Island of Guam, has an immediate opening for a qualified, highly motivated U.S. licensed Optometrist to provide quality eye care to a diverse patient base. Enjoy year round tropical weather, easy access to many Asia destinations, and live in a friendly community. We offer a competitive salary, excellent benefits that includes relocation and covers professional liability.
I love how its mostly about how to leave the actual location to visit other places.

I have a book recommendation for you before you pick up and move to an island. You should check out The Sex Lives of Cannibals by J. Maarten Troost. It's a light, entertaining read, but makes sure to highlight the pitfalls of living on an island in the Pacific. This island (Kirimati) is certainly smaller and less priveledged than Guam, but you some of the main themes will certainly hold true.
hmmm, sounds like an interesting read, thanks for the suggestion
