    English is the second official language in Palau. Thousands of Palauans live in the US and serve in the US military without giving up their citizenship (and without the need to obtain a visa or green card). The US is their closest ally and many things in Palau are modeled after the US, as is the capital building you saw in this clip. All the while, maintaining their traditions and passing down thousands of years of culture to their youth. Part of this is the immensely important task of preserving the pristine environment.

Was there for 7 months and did over 50 scuba dives and 200 skydives. I'll never forget the love of the Palaun people. I must return. So cool you got to fly in our old jump plane and dive around with Udi! Great memories with that crew!

    I would count Hawaii only if you actually left the airport and ventured into Honolulu. Since you were simply at an outdoor section of the airport, it doesn't count
    For example, back in 2011 although I had a layover at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson, I don't count it as a visit to Georgia since I didn't venture into Atlanta
    You need to do a proper visit to Hawaii to complete your 50 states...it's what that state deserves. The state is a gem of culture and natural beauty

I don´t usually comment on youtube, but feel inspired to do so with your travels and your thoughts. It´s a great thing that a president asked to meet you.

    The reason Koror is more developed than the capital:
    Koror was the capital of the place for quite a long time starting in 1919 when it was the capital of the entire South Seas Mandate under Japan. Ngerulmud didn't become the capital until 2006. The plans for a new capital have been in development since the 80s after ratifying in the 1979 constitution that the government should establish a new capital on the country's biggest island. Because Palau lacked architects, engineers, and had to import materials needed from other countries, progress was slow. It didn't pick up until the early 2000s when Palau received a loan of 20 million USD from Taiwan in 1999 (hence the plaque at 10:39; Taiwan has helped Palau significantly and Palau is one of the few countries to have an embassy in Taipei). The complex cost over 45 million USD to build, and put Palau in debt
    Only 271 people live in Ngerulmud, the least populated capital city of a country (not counting territories). The only settlement in the country to have a ZIP code, served by the USPS as part of Palau's Compact of Free Association

      Well, his statement was wrong and I'm glad that he can now realize it. I mean, all presidents desire power and control. Why? Because they want a political agenda and they want to achieve it. It doesn't mean that this is their only motivation. They need to seek power in order to achieve want they want, whether it is to work for private interests or for the people.

      I know that some political leaders are very accessible, especially during election campaigns but they would not want to spend time with a TH-camr whose audience is not national but international because they would lose precious time that they can use to meet people who are actual voters in their country.

    The president of Palau comes across like the head of a condo board. Same energy. I guess because the population of Palau is so small. It seems like a very charming place.

    Greetings from Germany. Great you have made it and of course it is a great experience to speak with a head of state. For a special project in Berlin I was searching for Palauans in Germany. The small embassy in Brussels never replied, the honorary consul in Hamburg stated "There are no Palauans in Europe, except the 2 diplomats in Brussels". So I called the Palau embassy in Washington and 2 days later I have had the contacts of two Palauans living in Germany ...... funny the honorary consul was not aware about them .... However, any border crossing intercultural connection is helpful to avoid the growing misunderstandings about other nations, countries, religions, cultures ...... It is fun and a mountain of personal experiences nobody can take from you, but it is also an important job you are doing here regarding intercultural understanding and peace. Thank you!
