This is probably one of the nicest places in the Pacific. Save for Guam, easily the most developed country in Micronesia. Night and day compared to Majuro. People here have houses, not shanties. There is furniture in the houses. I could tell because they had electricity, which also says something There are businesses and shops …
I’m typing this at the Palau version of the Peach Pit, across the street from Palau High (Go Palau Spiders!) For the third smallest country in the UN, Palau really has its act together.

Well, I got an offer on the house today. We have to negotiate a final price and such. I’ve seen so many business deals go south in my life that I’ve come to expect the worst. If something does happen, I could be out in 2-3 weeks. …then the fun starts.
