From what I understand, there's approximately nothing of value on the entire island now that the phosphate is gone. No industry, no jobs that aren't just subsidized by the government which lives on foreign aid.

Cable TV and Internet on such a small island? Not bad, not bad at all. Is the Internet provided through the cable TV, or is it satellite? Or, does Nauru have Internet access via an undersea link to a trunk line, or a trunk line itself?Originally posted by Alexander's Horse View PostOkay, arrived safely last night and just got the internet running
A couple of observations. One reason the island looks particularly small is because the airport runway is very long. The island isn't flat. The ring road is sea level but the interior is like a table top, a couple of hundred feet about sea level. We live on the high ground, with some ocean view, though not great. Nice house, bungalow, in great condition. We have cable TV, about 20 channels. The food situation is good. We brought a cooler full of meat and comfort foods but found a well stocked supermarket at good prices today.

I suggest swimming laps around the island for exercise.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

A great movie. I love the part in the beginning where one of the soldiers mention being present when Lincoln gave his Gettysberg Address but says he didn't hear well. When Lincoln asks what he heard the group begin reciting the whole speech round robin style."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment
