Sergio Benito Sulang in Indonesian mean cheers, as in what you would say when you raise your glass and have a toast with someone else. This is probably due to shared Austronesian history between both languages. Interesting 🤔

1:48 the best thing a country can do for its states is allow each one to make a flag! Not only does it provide a sense of local pride, but we also getting amazingly unique designs (just look at those Palau State flags! The complexity and character in them is breathtaking!)
Bro, I’ve met Filipinos that have been here during our Trust Territory days. Some haven’t been back home since they arrived in Palau in their 20s. Some go back after retirement and some have stayed because they have established a life here.
Thank you for the video. My grandmother is Japanese and from the Palau islands. Grandpa meet her while stationed there during the Korean War I believe. She was most respectful woman I’ve ever met and a beautiful lady in her day.
Loads of Japanese words entered into Palauan, especially for more modern inventions and technology. My coworker from Palau knew some basic Japanese, but actually could often understand when people spoke to her in Japanese just because of the sheer number of shared vocabulary. Not to forget, Japanese also had a strange impact on the names in Palau. They didn't have last names until under Japanese rule, so when made to adopt family names, a lot of people used Japanese names. Interestingly, a lot of those names are actually Japanese GIVEN names, not surnames. And occasionally the reverse is true too, that a parent will name their child Tanaka or something, that is a typical Japanese surname. There's been some interesting linguistic studies on the topic of the use of Japanese in Palau.

Shout out to the track team, all the Filipino and Palaun hoopers at spider gym and PCC, Dexter, Coby, Shaun, Grisham, Mikey, I.B., Rubin, Everson, Otis, Azela, PK and the house of pain gang, and everyone that participated in the Balau Games this past June. Thank you for making us feel at home.
Thank you for answering my questions, but what aid is provided to refugees and how much does he receive a monthly stipend? Is there a flight to this island from Malaysia? Greetings to you
@@عبدالرحمن-ف4خ9ج im not very sure about our procedure with refugees, but i knew of some refugees from syria who lived with at the catholic priests' house for some time. However as a small developing country, we dont have many government resources to take in refugees so i believe this was just out of kindness as we dont usually see many people seeking asylum

hahaha, When I went to spain I was surprised how much is similar to our cruisine in the Philippines. The Spanish have left their Mark here. Even Lechon. Lechon is spanish apparently
When i heard that part where the houses are called "Bai". its basically just like the word for house in philippine languages like "Bahay" in Filipino(Tagalog) or "Balay" in Cebuano Bisaya but compressed into one syllable
Palau and the Philippines were once part of the Spanish East Indies after all. Not to mention we are linguistically and genetically related cause we're Austronesian people.

Beautifully made episode. I appreciate the effort put into making this. Animations especially with satellite maps are greatly improved! Thanks! Excited for the Philippines episode
Palau was never invaded by the Japanese, when Germany lost ww1 the allies forced them to make repremends. Japan was part of the alliance and was given German territories in south east asia and the Pacific, it was a peaceful transition.
@@jrechebei Before the end of the war, Japan did take control of the island by placing their military there. After the war and peace conferrence the island became Japanese.
@Shown Morris Exactly how am I misguiding the public? The video stated that Japan took over Palau during WW2. That is factually not correct. The Japanese Navy seized the islands during 1914 and later during WW1 the islands were annexed by the Japanese Empire. After the war Japan received a mandate to administrate the islands as part of the South Pacific Mandate, in a similar way South Africa had the mandate to Administrate South West Africa (now Namibia). (SOURCE: Wikipedia) This is basically what I said above only with more detail. If you still disagree with what I posted, I suggest you state which parts you find an issue with and give a source rather than attacking people in the TH-cam Comments section for trying to correct a date. Just because you are local does not you know everything about your own country. And I am willing to accept if I am wrong, but I have no idea what you are on about and you just decide to lay into me for what? Trying to state a correction regarding during which war Japan took over control? Maybe try adding substance and context to your post rather just being insulted. Why not use this oppertunity to educate someone not from your country on your history rather than just attacking them.
we are linguistically and genetically related to each other. in fact, palau and other pacific islanders are descendants of taiwanese aborigines and early filipinos in luzon. hence the similarities.
@@SherwinCeleste-cj7ng of course that does not apply to everyone. A lot of older people hates the Japanese for their monstrosity during WWII (ie., Throwing babies and stabbing them with Bayonets midair etc), still you can't deny that the younger generation adores them since Japanese anime, appliances and other stuff are what they grew up with.
Palau was a part of the Spanish colony of La Islas Filipinas. And Palau and Philippines are very close in some culture. History molded it. Even the language may even sound same.
@@ninjasiren Philippines and Palau are gentetically, linguistically related. but not just palau, all pacific islanders, island southeast asians, madagascar and taiwanese natives are all our relatives. our languages, culture and genes proves it all
@salty sailor China is a human rights violator, makes illegal territorial claims in the East and South China seas, uses unfair trade practices, and destabilizes the east and southeast Asian areas. Is that enough reason to "hate" the PRC?
@@markv1974 that was like thousands of years ago. Yeah we come from the same people (austronesian is more fitting), but because of our long history and isolated culture, I wouldn't say im philippino, cuz im not. That's like saying all white americans are actually english or european, cuz that's where they came from
Once you come to visit Palau...you will surely have that smile on your face. And when you leave...you bring all the memories with a happy heart. And just before you leave..you already making plans of coming back. TRULY A PARADISE!!! Truly blessed to call it home 🇵🇼 🤙🏽😎
America:Palau is mine! Japan:No Palau is mine! Philippines:HES WITH ME SO IS MINE Spain:yo dude stop he's mine! Germany:No Taiwan:I'll give u money China:👁️👁️ Indonesia:he's my best friend so is mine
My parents left Palau in the 80s. but they started dating after they met in Cali. Growing up almost nobody I knew, had ever heard of Palau until it was the locations for a season of Survivor.

Ok , Ninja 🗿💣
Seeing that you have fans from pretty much all the countries, I am surprised you only have 1.6mln subscribers.
Waiting for the combo: Philippines, Poland, Portugal in a row
AHAHAHAHAHA
What's funny about it??

Beautifully made episode. I appreciate the effort put into making this. Animations especially with satellite maps are greatly improved! Thanks! Excited for the Philippines episode
Yo barbs great content thanks for continuing to do geography and teaching people new things while everyone else is playing Minecraft and Fortnite
Finnish Nationalist agreed
minecraft is better than roblox
Woot woot! Panama. I met many amazing friends from Panama while studying in the USA! It's been over 15 years now - I need to visit Panama!
Finally another video! Palau has a pretty rich history which I didnt know.
Correction: Palau was invaded and taken over by Japan from Germany during World War 1, not 2 as stated at 13:05.
Thanks for the episode.
Thank you! I came here looking for this comment
Palau was never invaded by the Japanese, when Germany lost ww1 the allies forced them to make repremends. Japan was part of the alliance and was given German territories in south east asia and the Pacific, it was a peaceful transition.
@@jrechebei Before the end of the war, Japan did take control of the island by placing their military there. After the war and peace conferrence the island became Japanese.
@Shown Morris Exactly how am I misguiding the public?
The video stated that Japan took over Palau during WW2. That is factually not correct.
The Japanese Navy seized the islands during 1914 and later during WW1 the islands were annexed by the Japanese Empire.
After the war Japan received a mandate to administrate the islands as part of the South Pacific Mandate, in a similar way South Africa had the mandate to Administrate South West Africa (now Namibia). (SOURCE: Wikipedia)
This is basically what I said above only with more detail.
If you still disagree with what I posted, I suggest you state which parts you find an issue with and give a source rather than attacking people in the TH-cam Comments section for trying to correct a date.
Just because you are local does not you know everything about your own country. And I am willing to accept if I am wrong, but I have no idea what you are on about and you just decide to lay into me for what? Trying to state a correction regarding during which war Japan took over control?
Maybe try adding substance and context to your post rather just being insulted.
Why not use this oppertunity to educate someone not from your country on your history rather than just attacking them.
Very true
As a Palauan, this was awesome to watch since I haven't been to my home since 1980.
Wow! Im surprised palau has foods like "tinola" and "halo halo" which can also be found from the philippines. btw im filipino
Yung tinola at Halo-halo galing talaga yan sa Pilipinas. Nagsimula yung mga yan dito.
@@SantomPh 17%
with 17% of filipino community, you should not be surprised. dont be surprised to if they also have a tagalog creole lol
I was surprised at first because i was just at the food part then i realised i spoke to soon because at the ethnicity part 17% is filipino
Palau is part of Spanish East Indies.. and was among the initial provinces of the Malolos republic but chose their own way....
Interesting. Very similar to the Philippines. Bai = Bahay/Balai, Tinola, Ukoy, Halo2x, loves Japan and US(not sure now) and very similar past.
we are linguistically and genetically related to each other. in fact, palau and other pacific islanders are descendants of taiwanese aborigines and early filipinos in luzon. hence the similarities.
@@SherwinCeleste-cj7ng of course that does not apply to everyone. A lot of older people hates the Japanese for their monstrosity during WWII (ie., Throwing babies and stabbing them with Bayonets midair etc), still you can't deny that the younger generation adores them since Japanese anime, appliances and other stuff are what they grew up with.
Steve Czyrus Nogadas Also the same for Indonesian, Bai = Balai, since both refer to a community building or town hall, something like that
Sherwin Abarca in Indonesian there’s a specific word for house though, it’s ‘rumah’
Sherwin Abarca but what makes it cool is the fact that its still related
Noticed an increase in quality this episode. Really liked the video
Palau 🇵🇼 is one of my bucket list countries along with Italy 🇮🇹 France 🇫🇷 and Switzerland 🇨🇭
FRUITBAT SOUP!?
it’s good trust me. our bats are clean 💀 and we’re a coronavirus free country still
Bats can be eaten actually, the thing is, the bat soup in China was already infected of some man-made disease.
ah fuck
@@mhmm5264 no thanks
Tinola, Ukoy, Halo-halo... there must be a sizeable Filipino community in Palau.
Barbs just said so. 17%, going back to the Spanish period. It's a similar situation in Guam.
Yes a lot we love Filipino food!
@@mariamargaritaverdadero1874 nakaka gutom diba?🤣
Palau was a part of the Spanish colony of La Islas Filipinas. And Palau and Philippines are very close in some culture. History molded it. Even the language may even sound same.
@@ninjasiren Philippines and Palau are gentetically, linguistically related. but not just palau, all pacific islanders, island southeast asians, madagascar and taiwanese natives are all our relatives. our languages, culture and genes proves it all
Love Palau 🇵🇼
From Palau 🇵🇼
Rush t-shirt was the first thing I noticed 😁 Nice!
Amazing Palau! Hearing some words like tinola feels that we are truly neighbor. Greetings from the Philippines.
Kuan Kanang it is not mainstream Palauan dish, it is only among the Pinoy community living in Palau
@@thaONGLYone its because Palau once a Philippines Territory until the Americans arrive
@@unknownph537 since when? 😂😂
@@kochemesiochel7186 not the present day Philippines, but when Both Country where part of the Spanish East Indies I think.
@@my_other_side473 okay but on what history book? I’ve lived here all my life and I’ve never studied it nor have i ever heard about it
Hey guys this is my new favorite channel. I can’t travel but learn about other places! Thank you so much
Palau is great 👍
Because they recognise Taiwan (Chinese Taipei for all you haters)
Ty for 100
Emperor Alexander the Stag yep I been to Vatican
@salty sailor
China is a human rights violator, makes illegal territorial claims in the East and South China seas, uses unfair trade practices, and destabilizes the east and southeast Asian areas.
Is that enough reason to "hate" the PRC?
@@brianjordan2192 yep
salty sailor i wrote it as a joke, I don’t hate China but I don’t like the illegal claims that they make in asia and no, i’m not a kid
salty sailor There’s plenty of reason to dislike the Chinese government.
Palau:We love Taiwan
PRC:Imma end this whole man's career
Watch out for The Peoples Republic of China. They seem to have bigger cheque books and spreading their influence right across the Pacific.
man's whole*
The PRC is garbage
@@wojiaobill Agreed
It was so at 6:00 because at that time, Haiyan was just gaining strength. When it hit the Philippines, it was at its peak. Palau was fortunate.
Wow, I just watched a shark week special with Palau in it. Never knew it had a massive shark sanctuary.
We do
Yeah we do come visit sometime and swim with the sharks👍
I’m surprised, we have Tinola, halo halo and okoy (ukoy) here in the 🇵🇭
yes, they were actually food brought by philippino immigrants to palau. really delicious, that's why it's popular here !! :)
@张是 yes i am 😁
@@beached1093 wait arent most of you from the philippines like even before there was a philippines? 😂😂youre all malayo polynesians
@@markv1974 that was like thousands of years ago. Yeah we come from the same people (austronesian is more fitting), but because of our long history and isolated culture, I wouldn't say im philippino, cuz im not. That's like saying all white americans are actually english or european, cuz that's where they came from
Samedt.
Once you come to visit Palau...you will surely have that smile on your face. And when you leave...you bring all the memories with a happy heart. And just before you leave..you already making plans of coming back. TRULY A PARADISE!!! Truly blessed to call it home 🇵🇼 🤙🏽😎
😁 love learning about the small countries that usually people don’t know about, great work guys
America:Palau is mine!
Japan:No Palau is mine!
Philippines:HES WITH ME SO IS MINE
Spain:yo dude stop he's mine!
Germany:No
Taiwan:I'll give u money
China:👁️👁️
Indonesia:he's my best friend so is mine
🤣🤣🤣🤣
My parents left Palau in the 80s. but they started dating after they met in Cali. Growing up almost nobody I knew, had ever heard of Palau until it was the locations for a season of Survivor.
I love palau's flag🇵🇼
Thank you 😊
