Palau? Seriously.

Ok, so a friend of mine who worked on the Obama campaign is apparently being appointed to work in Palau.
Where is Palau you ask?
Yeah, I had to ask to...or at least I had to look it up.

And it's seriously in the middle of nowhere. I'm pretty sure if you looked up BFE in the encyclopedia, or maybe BFP, it would show you a picture of this tiny island nation.

If you feel so inclined visit their website:

From the pictures Palau appears to be a lovely place surrounded by lots of ocean. I'm sure the seafood is great. And the nature too. But the flight out would be way too long for my personal taste. And heaven forbid they have any natural disasters like hurricanes or typhoons out there. Everyone would drown. Including my friend.

Despite my friend sometimes being a pain in the ass I really wish him no ill will. But he's does random crap like this every so often.
Him: "Hmmmm...I could go anywhere in the world...Palau sounds nice."

I wonder if he can even get facebook or a phone there?! Perhaps...?
There are cars and they do take Visa. You know, it's everywhere you want to be.

The site says the population is about 20K. So I wonder how long it will take him to meet a woman out there. With only 20,000 people the options are limited. After all, this is a man accustomed to New York and other immensely larger dating pools than what I imagine Palau has to offer. Then again, maybe he'll meet a nice island girl and fall madly in love. Stranger things have happened. Seriously!

Palau. How many people can say they know someone who has been there, much less lived in Palau? I don't know one, but soon I will. Seriously!
