How to order sushi in a restaurant in Tokyo without human interaction. Are we going to stop talking for good and just send messages to each other?

Picture from Babeldaob

While exploring Babeldaob, the biggest island of Palau, I was able to talk with Amania, an elder inhabitant of Ngardmau State. Her age and rank are testified by the size and color of the stone money she is wearing around her neck. In the past this precious stones were used to exchange goods between clans and women were in charge of it. Today this money continues to be offered to women by men in certain traditional marriage, funeral and first-child ceremonies. #palau #ephemera #stonemoney #portrait #travel #documentary

Picture from Rock Islands

I’m not having much luck with the weather in Palau. It seems that rainy season arrived sooner than expected. So I had to snorkel in uncomfortable situations, but it was still worth it because I could see more corals, like these ones that are really close to the water surface, especially at low tide.

Picture from Koror, Palau

I took a walk around my accommodation in Koror, the main state of Palau, and met some of the neighbors. Life here is really simple and relaxed, with locals chilling on their front porch or next to their homes. This contrasts with the hectic activity of tourism businesses, mostly owned by Chinese and Japanese entrepreneurs, who drive all around the state picking up or dropping off foreign tourists at their hotels. #palau #ephemera #portrait #travel #documentary

Palau is also traditional dance and chanting, with female dancers wearing grass skirts and coconut cups and with their skin covered in coconut oil. Today these dances are mostly performed for shows and cultural events.

Paul is not only a pristine arcipelago but also an ancient culture. The Airai Bai (Men's house of Airai) in the Airai municipality, is the oldest traditional meetinghouse you can find on the island. Its facade and interior beams are decorated with depictions of Palauan legends. The building and site have long been the spiritual and civic centerpiece of the community, however today they are rarely used. #palau #ephemera #bai #culture #aerialphotography #art #travel #documentary
