    Extractions: Palauan dancers who performed at the Aichi Expo on Palau Day in traditional costume. The first thing that surprised her when she came to Japan was the number of people in Shinjuku. She had never seen so many people in one place before. She was also amazed at the bicycle traffic jam she saw in the morning in front of a nearby kindergarten. She was used to life on Palau, where people get into the car to go even short distances. The Japanese custom of putting children on a bicycle and riding all over struck her as extremely healthy and environmentally friendly. The only thing it's been hard to get used to in Japan is the strictness of Japanese culture with regard to time. In Palau, you might say there's a concept "island time", which means that people are quite loose regarding punctuality. That is why she has had a hard time getting used to the Japanese concept of time. But other than that, Japanese life poses no difficulties for her. In fact, she feels that it is easy to live in Japan because Japanese people are so kind and helpful. First drafted 2005 July 28.

    Extractions: Republic of Palau Message Forum A spectacular 400 mile long strand of pearls laid across blue sea best describes this jewel of the Pacific. Made of limestone coral reefs lifted above sea level and undercut by ocean currents which over time have notched the basis so that from the air they look like giant mushrooms, the Republic of Palau, in Micronesia, is truly nature at its most majestic. The tightly clustered Palau archipelago consists of the high islands of Babeldaob, Koror, Peleliu and Angaur in the south, the low coral atolls of Kayangel to the north east and Ngeruangel and the limestone rock islands of which there are more than 200. Apart from Kayangel, Ngeruangel and Angaur all the islands are inside a single barrier reef. Only eight islands are inhabited, for the entire population is 17,235 with the majority of them living in the provisional capital of Koror. There are an additional 2,500 foreigners mostly Filipino labourers. The Spaniards named the group Los Palos (the native name is Belau) and laid claim to them in 1898, selling them to Germany a year later. In 1946, Palau became one of the trust territories of the Pacific islands under the governance of the U.S.A. In 1994, it gained its independence and was admitted to the United Nations as its 185th member. The island group is divided into 16 states each maintaining the traditional clan system with English and Palauan the official languages. The people are warm, hospitable and generous and, though they look more American than other Micronesians, they continue to follow their old matrilineal culture.

    Extractions: Reflecting their close ties with the United States, citizens of the Republic of Palau held a public ceremony to pay tribute to the seven astronauts lost when space shuttle Columbia disintegrated on its homeward journey. In response to the Iraq war, the republic joined President Bush's Coalition of the Willing, with President Remengesau's offering Palau's existing facilities as additional staging areas for military operations. A few weeks later, Remengesau led a delegation to theThirty-thirdPacific Island Forum meeting in Fiji. He presented two major proposals. The first called on the assembled nations to ease travel entry requirements for each other's citizens. The second initiative called for greater support and progress in adopting renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro, wind, and ocean thermal energy conversion. Remengesau stated that his islands' total dependence on foreign sources for fossil fuels diverted funds from much needed development projects.

    Extractions: Palau The Republic of Palau, the westernmost chain in Micronesia, has an unbelievable combination of natural beauty and island culture. Palau boasts one of the planet's most unique phenomena, the Rock Islands. This collection of mushroom-shaped islets are mostly uninhabited, and are located in a large lagoon that harbors one othe world's greatest concentrations of fish, corals and other marine life. If you really want to go for the full Palau fishing experience you can actually go trolling, whipping and jigging all in one trip. Remember, this part of the Pacific is literally crawling with all kinds of fish. Palau is blessed with a variety of billfish as well as tuna, trevally, grouper, mahimahi, wahoo and snapper. One of the best things about whipping and jigging in this part of the is meeting up with such an abundance of fish in all sizes, shapes, and colors that will give you a serious run for you money. Be prepared to eat well in Palau. Not just great seafood, but a huge variety of cuisine from all over the Pacific Rim.

    El palau de la Musica Celebrates an Exuberant Cultural Era. palau de la MusicaCatalana, Barcelona, Spain. By Patrick Totty

    Extractions: Barcelona, Spain By Patrick Totty An auditorium built in 1908 to house the Orfeo Catalan choir, this complex confection, a product of Catalonia’s “Renaixenca” (renaissance) cultural movement, commands great attention and affection from visitors. It’s red brick exterior is festooned with an agglomeration of colorful floral mosaics and the madly busy, deeply indented and incised ornamentation that marks Barcelonan architecture from the Gaudi era. It is one of the few theaters or music halls worldwide to have been declared a World Heritage Site. The Renaixenca was intended as a rediscovery and revitalization of Catalonian culture, which had always been in tension with the dominant Madrid-oriented Castilian culture. At the same time, modernist currents were sweeping through Barcelona, Spain’s biggest, most sophisticated seaport. They inspired an architecture that, while it veered away from the stiff formality of the late 19 th century’s neo-classicism, refused to surrender a regional fascination with color, ceramic adornment or the juxtaposition of sometimes radically different textures.
