But I'm glad I did it not just because it's something unique but it gave me a glimpse of what prisoners in that part of the world do. Yes, they were using sharp tools but I never even thought about getting harmed in any way.The Nomadic Pinoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256568728185196065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611917613633668467.post-89774364505012708412013-06-23T11:32:23.543-04:002013-06-23T11:32:23.543-04:00Looking at the map, I could see how each island gr...Looking at the map, I could see how each island group in the Pacific ocean seem like a tiny speck so remote from the big ones. While I could definitely see Rapanui's attachment to Polynesia (and some of them desiring to stay so), there's the practical side of things that just can't be avoided. Easter Island is better off under Chile right now.The Nomadic Pinoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256568728185196065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611917613633668467.post-59343236746694922762013-06-23T11:07:20.795-04:002013-06-23T11:07:20.795-04:00Thank you for stopping by my blog and leading me h...Thank you for stopping by my blog and leading me here.

Quite intriguing how visitors and tourists could mingle with ease despite with policemen around, with those 15 convicts. But then again, if they're busy doing handicrafts, perhaps noting to worry; unless they're using sharps. Paranoid me, hehehe!<br /><br />docgelohttp://docgelo.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611917613633668467.post-3134481019072656892013-06-23T03:42:52.131-04:002013-06-23T03:42:52.131-04:00I somehow get the idea that Rapa Nui is Chile'...I somehow get the idea that Rapa Nui is Chile's Guam. I lived in Guam for 16 months, and experienced living in a remote island, though Guam is more connected than Rapa Nui, of course. Still, there's talk of independence, but at the same time, a place that small cannot support its own without relying on something big, such as the US mainland. Not surprisingly, tourism is a big industry in Guam as well, as well as the US military.Jeruenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902095693318762587noreply@blogger.com
