Kosrae - the wettest island in the world. 108 km2 and a lonely rock in the ocean: apart from the artificial island to the airport and the island of Lelu, Kosrae related to bridges, 500 miles around there is nothing



Kosrae all - a big village discharged without clear boundaries. The whole of the Kosrae, at a glance:


Kosrae one of the most religious places in the Christian world, outstanding against even very conservative Oceania.

Sunday - the most important holiday. You can not work, can not cook, can not even swim (and tourists can not!) Can not sell alcohol from 00:00 to 24:00 (even in bars, even tourists.


Go to church, of course, at best. Best clothes for the whole family usually sewn from a cut colorful fabric, so when everyone gathers in the church, it is easy to determine who is from what the family: this is where the woman in the photo on the right with 2 children - from the same family, and the woman on the left - from another

Entertainment may seem strange to someone. Cockfights - 


Sophisticated hairstyles - 


There is an interesting system of mangrove islands piles separated by river and sea channels.
