For a great place on the web to start learning about Micronesia: http://www.escapeartist.com/micronesia/micronesia.htm I added this discussion group to their list of links, pending their approval.

Can learn more about the Pacific, particularly Micronesia (Federated States of Micronesia) by going to the webpage of the only ISP in that region. Webpage: http://www.fm Feel free to post more queries regarding the topic. I will check in every so often. Good luck, Aaron Sigrah

That's a great url to get! You're lucky! I'll visit your site.

Another real good url is the following: http://www.fiji-online.com.fj/ It's the "Official Fiji Islands home page". It's the source for the above quote on general Fiji information. More of what they say on this site: Climate Fiji's climate is maritime tropical. Expect daytime temperatures ranging from 28 to 32 degrees Centigrade in the cooler season from May to November, and warmer weather with temperatures a few degrees higher from December through April. The warmer weather also brings more rainfall, which usually takes the form of passing tropical showers.

The balance are Chinese, Europeans, and other Pacific Islanders. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Language English is the official language of Fiji and is taught in the schools.

What time is it in Fiji right now (question for the next person posting from Fiji)?
