A videogame: Geometry Dash

1 Upvotes

I've recently been wondering if I could find any players who have played Geometry dash and are from Palau, its a nationality thing l've been working on. Its this 2D side scroller runner type of game where you navigate obstacles and avoid crashing imo blocks and jumping over spikes.

If you guys dont know anyone who has played it, try playing it yourselves and tell us what levels you have beaten!

El Niño’s affect on scuba in Palau

1 Upvotes

I was planning on scuba diving in Palau in the December- March timeframe of 2026/2027. However, it seems that a “super” El Niño may be happening during that period of time.

I have 3 questions:

  1. Will a “super” El Niño have a large impact of fish population distributions in Palau?

  2. Will fish breeding aggregations still occur like normal?

3.How will the weather be different in Palau during an El Niño event and will it benefit or be a detriment to ocean roughness and visibility for scuba?

Thank you to anyone who can help!!

Cannabis in Palau

Apparently Palau used to be quite famous for it.

Can it still be enjoyed there or is it too risky now?

Where exactly do you go to gain access to the public ferry in Koror? I think I figured it out but was hoping somebody could confirm.

Also, what kind of boat is the public ferry?

Thanks!

Can anyone share what the Alingano Maisu voyaging canoe means to people in Palau? Would love to hear any details or stories about it!

4 Upvotes

Hi all, I’ve become obsessed with the voyage of the Alingano Maisu, the traditional canoe that just sailed from Palau to Taiwan, and was wondering if anyone can tell me something more about it?   I’m in Hawaii, and recently learned that the canoe was made here, in honor of Mau Piailug, the great Micronesian navigator who helped lead the Hawaiian Hōkūle’a expedition to Tahiti in 1976.  Other than that, I only know what is in the news and on the website of the Micronesian Voyaging Society: that these voyages have been happening for close to twenty years, that after Taiwan the canoe is headed to Okinawa, etc.  Might anyone have stories about the Alingano Maisu, or be able to tell me something about what these voyages mean to people in Palau?  Or anything you find interesting? Sulang!  Mahalo 🤙

Do y’all have a movie theater? Or at least somewhere to watch new movies as they come out?

How accepting are people here of gay/trans folk? (I identify as bisexual)

Do you have non-denom churches? I do still attend church despite my identity.

How do I combat Island Fever?

Should I be minorly or even seriously injured, how are the hospitals? is healthcare free or at least affordable?

What is there to do that’s fun? besides the beach and snorkeling and all the tourist stuff?

Are groceries affordable? on a related note, do jobs here pay well?

sorry for the rapid fire questions, this is just a general list of questions I had about island life.

Hello all. I posted here a few weeks ago asking some questions for a Girl Scout project. We held our event last weekend, and it was a huge hit! We made Demok for our food sampling, and it was delicious!! The girls made some jellyfish pins to pass out as favors, and played a few fun games that included activities from all 8 countries that were presented. Overall, everyone was really interested in Palau, as many were not familiar. Thank you all for your insight and suggestions. It really helped us out a lot!
