If there is one thing Palauans know its how to party. We attended a Welcome to 2015 one this weekend and it was sensational. For a start everyone joins in - ladies ask men to dance or vice versa. And everyone dances until they drop. And the music is great. Not as screechy as Cambodian music and definitely not lady Gaga; but great to dance to.
Friday we were treated to traditional dancers (as in the picture). There is a great custom that as the dancers perform people dance around them and give them $1 bills. I have personally benefited from this at a recent event and made $21 in about 5 mins!
We also had a huge buffet, jelly shots, new year necklaces and games. When was the last time you played musical chairs with beer?? And I won that game and netted a prize of a cruise. Yes, lots of raffle prizes too. Palauans are really into food prizes and beer. So a great recipe for a party.
