Saipan

Where is Saipan? Here

Lots of WWII relics on the island. There's a place called Suicide Cliff where hundreds of Japanese, mostly civilians, leaped to their deaths to escape being captured by the Americans.

We visited Saipan last week in order to escape the miserable weather we were having in Japan ("According to The Guinness Book of Records, Saipan has the world's most equable temperature, averaging 27°C year-round. "). Leo liked the pool but was kind of freaked out about the beach. Everything went really well and for me, escaping Japanese food for a little while was a real treat.
