Island of YAP, Micronesia: Exploring capital city of Colonia

[@mcfrdmn]

Beautiful video of Colonia, the capital city of YAP with its calm and tranquil surroundings. The churches were simply lovely, although by the amount of seats in the church, it does not appear that very many people regularly worship in the church. It appears that Colonia the capital city is more in a rural setting than as a capital city. The scene that you filmed on a cloudy day indicates to me that this area gets at times very heavy rainfall, and that is basically confirmed by the heavy vegetation that surrounds Colonia, the capital city of YAP. What is the population of Colonia?

[@VicStefanu]

+Michael Friedman Colonia has around 6 thousand people, very rural setting, it gets lots of rain and it also gets very hot (low 90s at the highest temperature). It is also a very historic place because it was occupied by the Japanese during WW2..

[@row2ne729]

I am missing home. This is where I grew up, although, the village area is where the eye catching happens, Especially the outer islands. It is not so much the place but the beautiful colorful culture that's kept till today that's beautiful about home yap. Thank u for this video.

Great video Vic ! Micronesia is a difficult and expensive place to get to. Not a lot of flights to that place ... From what I have heard, it's a very traditional place where old customs are very much present. Another place I need to visit for sure. Seem to be a lot of wind though ...

[@VicStefanu]

+Cta2006 The island of Yap was beautiful and very historic, I flew there from Guam and stayed for 6 nights.. The people were very nice and you can see more videos from Yap by typing 'vstefanu Yap' on youtube..

[@VicStefanu]

+Cta2006 Actually, you have to type 'vstefanu yap micronesia'...

Mirconesia, Palau, Marshall Island, and Northern Mariana Island architecture very similar to Batak of North Sumatra architecture, and also North Sumatra Malay architecture(Bumbung Lontik, very similar to Minangkabau of West Sumatra and Kampar Malay of Riau architecture)

[@naeemjutt227]

hello sir I am Pakistani live in Saudi Arabia how can I vist micronesia ans me please.

[@VicStefanu]

I am not Micronesian, I am not sure how to help you..

[@smallislandenormousculture3023]

There isn't much airports in Micronesia as most societies there are ancient and thriving with old ways.Start by Guam or Palau they can help you travel to Yap.The Yapese still keep many traditions to this very day modernization is rare there.

[@GB-tq5ry]

The people were so rare to see in the video

[@VicStefanu]

The vocals did not like to be videotaped, so I avoided videotaping people as much as possible..

[@henryfisher2138]

Vic did you prefer Yap or the Solomons?

[@VicStefanu]

The Solomon Islands, definitely..
