:: Question about Guam Fiestas
Hi..I used to live in Guam and i am doing a segment on our local tv station featuring Guamanian chicken and how to make it. I rememeber going to the fiestas there and
the chamorro people would play a domino type game of some sort. I dont remember what it was called. Im wondering if you could tell me the name of that game so i can use that in a description for what a Guamanian fiesta is like. I would greatly appreciate your time in telling me. I am looking forward to going on tv here and tell them a little about guamanian fiestas and your culture. How i would love to still be living in guam. TY kindly :)

Do you guys know what this person is talking about? I've never seen my family play dominoes at family fiestas or gatherings, and I don't recall seeing it anywhere else. I'm wondering if he's talking about beto-beto but that's played with dice, not dominoes.
my only guess is mahjong!
yep,20 out of 20 it's mahjong
Yes, mahjong especially in middle of the night.
Maybe she was with a Pinoy family playing Mahjong OR
She was watching a card game called kanasta?
But certainly, we have to get this lady to a website on Chamorro culture before she inadvertently misrepresent the Chamoru people. Tell her to type Nasion chamoru.com and she will find a lot of material there.
