Pacific War

 Pacific War 

Greetings everyone! Here are a few historical pictures that I took using my iPhone a few days ago. 


  • Japanese Pillbox - This Japanese pillbox is located at Micro Beach here in the CNMI. It's one of the surviving fortifications from the World War II era. It was made out of concrete, coral boulders, and rocks as part of the walls. 

  • Village Chiefs' -  Located at Tanapag village, is the grave site or memorial for the village chiefs that came together to build the village now known as Tanapag. 

  • Matsue Statue - The statue is of Haruji Matsue. Regarding sugarcane agriculture, he was convinced that Saipan had potential for the makings of sugarcane. 

  • Saipan Jinja - The jinga was made in 1931, the Japanese built it to show the increase of the Japanese population here on island. 



  • German Steps - 1904 is when a German District Administrator, George Fritz built these concrete stairways that led to the back of his house to the summit of the hill. It's one of the many things that are still in great shape throughout the years.

COVID  Life was great before the pandemic hit our small island. Things got worse and really boring. Although, people managed to pull through. It started off really scary as people would say. But now things just seem as if it's not that important anymore.  Covid hit and my whole family was quarantined at Kanoa Resort.  My mom was scared of the virus because it was going around so quickly, so this was the very first event we went to after our quarantine. Which was my sister’s police graduation.  After a few days, my mom became way more lenient. So we went to the beach with my other family members.  We played rugby on the sand and had so much fun.  Then we played rugby on the grass because the space was way much bigger.  We then switched over to baseball, so we could all have an equal amount of fun because it’s been a while.  A few days later and cases were rising, but we made our way to the arcade.  We also went to east bay, but we didn’t jump ...
