4:32 that’s because in our culture, love is secret. It’s not something you show. It’s like that with most Pacific Islander cultures. When there’s a party and 2 people that like each other wanna talk, they disappear. And when they come back, they act like they don’t know each other lol.

I hang on his every word. He just knows how to express himself 👍🏻 Greetings from South Africa 👋🏻 We share the same passion for our land like all of you Micronesians commenting here.

Thank you for being fair in your descriptions of our islands. I am a mix Micronesian (Palauan and Pohnpei) and very proud of my origin. I was born in Palau then raised in Pohnpei and Saipan. I love all our cultures and our diversity. We do have all kinds of delicious food and unique recipes. About Pohnpei, you described Mahr which we ferment to get a certain dexter and smell, just like some cheeses especially Blue Cheese 🤢Lol Whoever made you try mahr did not have you try the sweet version. I myself can not stand it if it was not done correctly. About animals in Pohnpei, we have lots of Exotic birds like our National bird the red Parrot which is not found anywhere else in the world and if you have gone into certain part of our jungles you will find other interesting animals besides spiders 😇. Thanks again for describing some of my most favorite food from Pohnpei. God Bless

Love you Micronesia. Just saw this video today. Been to Yap, Pohnpei, Chuuk, Guam. Also Palau, Saipan, Rota. Absolutely loved it there. Food is delicious and meet some of the most gentlest and kindest people. I have a very large map of all of Micronesia on my office wall. The young man above shares a good impression and insight on my experiences as well. Beautiful people and culture. And one more thing, when I arrived in Yap in the airport I was welcomed with a flower lei. I dried and kept the lei.

The breadfruit we can eat raw is the one with seeds in it and it's a bit bigger than a soft ball. It's edible when ripe, and it taste very sweet.

I could listen to you all day. You taught me something.

Homeboy is low-key working undercover for the Micronesian Tourism Bureau here no doubt. Killin it as shadow promoter too, great job. All the tourism development boards gonna be clamoring to hire him to rep their sets for sure. Mad respect to decent respectful travelers like this one.

I’m impressed with the different levels of “meing” or the Pohnpeian language that this man knows! Very informative video too.

In the 70s when I was there, many people walked around hand in hand. One day I saw 2 teenage boys hand in hand. I asked about them, whether it was a romantic thing. The answer was no. They were best friends and had been since they were little. Nobody thought anything about it. It was normal. I'd like to add that it was also normal in my grandmother's generation. and when I was a kid in the 50's it was also common in Hawaii. I used to walk in the evening down Waikiki arm-in-arm with my grandmother. We also used to comb each other's hair, like I saw in Pohnpei as well. Things changed for the worse.

Ahahahah! I had never seen someone learn to catch the Pohnpeian ways so well as this guy!

Where’s the full video pls? I can listen to him all day! He knows us to the core ☺️

Bro. You are so accurate about it. I'm currently serving the country, and this really makes me smiling here on rotation, and you just reminded me of all the stuff about my home. I miss everything out there.

You’re amazing! Not bias at all. God bless!

You may look White but you're are a real Micronesian young man..you sound trusted n can speak for us anytime you like..

Wow, you really learned our ways. Thank you!

I’m half Pohnpeian and half American but have been raised in the states. You nailed how Pohnpeian parents raise their kids. The Edwin family is a pretty tough family in general but that’s how my father raised us boys.

He loved it there and I personally would love to move there. Also a friend of mine owns a construction company called JACO that is currently building there and I hope to go soon

thank you for sharing our daily culture to the whole world

You brought back old memories! I lived on Pohnpei for 2 years 49 years ago. It's easy to remember the years because my son was born there 49 years ago last month. Back then, there were no paved roads. You didn't mention that delicious drink called sacau (just kidding). There are also African snails which only come out at night, so maybe you didn't see them. The Japanese brought them there because they loved to eat snails. Did you see the big eels in the river? We also lived for 4 years in the Marshall Islands. At that time, the older folks had gone to school while the Japanese were in control and schools were in Japanese. So those who had gone to school before l945 spoke Japanese, and those born after that year were educated in English.

We Islanders are raised well our parents don't really show emotions towards us it happens so we can be on our own without worrying about anything

May I ask which village you were staying at back in Pohnpei?

I don't know when this guy was there, but i was in Yap in 2016 and 2017 because I was dating a Yapese man, and the women did not go topless. We went all over the island and saw/met many people and the only time I saw anyone dressing traditionally (not wearing Goodwill shirts like 'hotdogs, hotdogs, hotdogs!' etc) was the occasional really old person. Regardless, much respect to all islanders. It was an honor to be able to visit.

Much love from us 🇲🇭
