Local Customs: Only for Men
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Visit an Abai (men's hut) -- I believe this is suppose to be open only to men or leaders of their villages.

    I think the picture I have is an example of one of these huts.

    Local Customs: Betel Nut Chewing
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • This is common in the islands, many variances depending on which island you are from -- with or without lime, and some leaf. Palauans -- especially on school grounds are not permitted to spit openly. Many are carrying their containers to spit into. You will have to watch that your tongue & teeth do not get too much staining from chewing. It also creates a buzz -- try at your own risk.
