I just found out my neighbor is from Marshall Islands! I gave him a pint of blueberries the other day, and today he gave me some chocolate covered macadamia nuts, lol.
Nice dude, super friendly and yes, LOVES to laugh!

I know these guys, Taylor and McComie. I served with them in the Marshall Islands in 2011 to 2013. What they say is true. It was such a great place to live.

[@altonledoux7430]

Everyone does go to church regularly. And a "pick me up" basketball game draws a crowd. Not much else to do. Internet is slow and expensive ($0.10/min). I go there regularly for business reasons for the last 40 years (I live in Guam) and have not noticed any changes in high water marks. He is right about one thing though. The people are great.

as a American kid raised in Majuro, this makes me miss home

[@thissiteisapoliticaltool9466]

I knew plenty marshallese in big island in Hawaii. I was once invited over for dinner. I have a new appreciation for what they did for me. Those were amazing pork chops

[@mikebumps8937]

Thanks for the information ☺️

[@rubysunn5335]

I loved visiting Ebeye. The people there are so nice. When did you go?

[@YoSip3Ek]

A fermented breadfruit base that was not wash in sea water and fresh water result in having that stinky smell. So it was eating during famine time and also it is better to eat with fresh crated coconuts. You need to eat it more than once and you will love it like stinky cheese.

[@InterfaithScotland]

Hi doing a brief talk on 1 March in remembrance of the US bombing in the Pacific and the fallout on the Marshall Islands - can I ask what the local take on the Nuclear testing is?

[@lorealnicole]

Most of these things are common sense and common courtesy. I guess common sense ain't common 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Cha4k]

Interesting, That part about handwaving is the same as in Japan.

[@Darjeelingla]

Is water-catchment still the primary source of drinking water in Majuro?

[@altonledoux7430]

2021. yes. Runoff from the runway main source but most houses have their own catchments.

If one wants to leave The United States and retire there what is the best way to go
about doing this?

[@Tom-fz6pe]

Learn more about the Marshall Islands. They are on the front lines of climate change and will likely be underwater in a few decades.

[@hideoanuntak2575]

Tom Wilson that’s actually very true I was born there

[@simpforleviackerman3343]

I wouldn’t do that cus Marshall is full of climate change

[@JMan-24]

@@Tom-fz6pe The atolls are actually eroding and sinking. I encourage you to do some homework on how atolls are formed and how they will disappear.
