Dear Nauru friends,

my name is Mário Annuza; I am Brazilian and I am 33 years old. Since I was a child, I love your country ! Admire your music and collect varied coins. Among them, there is one from Nauru ! Hugs from Brazil,

Mário.

[humbertogarrau]

@marioannuza também aprecio o povo, a cultura e as belezas de Nauru desde criança! Valeu! Um abraço.

[nauruanbumxx]

nauru <3 i miss mah home island :) see you in 2012 hope so :) hehe

[iTzMark671]

nauru is fucking boring, i'm glad that i moved to the US.

[LoveMeLoveMyDog80]

Such a shame what happened to Nauru. I hope one day the country can recover. If the project to restore the landscape can be completed somehow, then I imagine there could be good potential for tourism, and also for improving the diet by introducing small scale agriculture to provide a source of fresh produce, as well as providing some jobs and reducing living costs a little.

[MrFahad88]

I just read about Nauru island, a sad story and poor people ( god bless it.

greeting from Saudi arabia )

[atamaaiju13]

I lived in Nauru in 1977. Got attached to a local nauruan. We 're so closed we treated 1 another brothers. I left the island for home. I sent letters and he replied all. Then he stopped answering my letters. he became one of a beloved pastor so closed to LORD JESUS. I REALLY WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. i asked anybody please tell me if you know him. All Nauruans must be. His name is "james japhet dedija" email me please at gilmarx@msn.com thank you!

It's in the west-central Pacific, pretty much right on the equator.

[Sceptile89]

[mrnkb11]

Hi i went to school there around the 80's at kayser school ,are you familiar with init reastaurant by the airport? I had fond memories of that island but unfortunately no pictures. anyway just sharing my thoughts...

[EarthlyDerision]

Absolutely tragic what happened to Nauru. 90% unemployment, where do you go from there?

[mzangelique10]

I MISSS NAURU !!!!

[winstonsmithamm]

do you really need cars on an 8 square mile island? road trip!

[Thepinkninja2]

A cross country road trip would take a half hour.

[Zinj]

heh on the back of a truck it wouldnt take that long at all,

[Bmackoo]

You see, money is not everythink. Money has ruined this piece of paradise. I hope somehow this island can have better days in the future than now.

[MaoriMum]

oh awesome memories. I went to NSS from 76-78 and from 75-76 at Aiwo primary. Good times, Outdoor cinema, saturday matinees, chinatown, startwinkles, 10cent bus rides around the island, school discos, bony m hahaha ahh yeah that was the life. Lived in Meneng, is that still around?

[josephhouse]

iam a olympia man from nauru

[Khorne1981]

yea

[196520may]

1972-1977 I was in Nauru. We had the best childhood, anabare bay, star twinkles, china town, Perries library, hospital hill, exploring the war bunkers, and the jungle, football on a saturday, boat Harbour, I remember Kathleen Hartman and Gaye Smith came to my 10th birthday MQ54 opposite government house. My brother Richard was best mates with Kun Menke. We all went to the catholic school. I hated leaving Nauru Island. I'm sad it is not the island I remember. All the best, Ronlynn Brennan. xxx

[rossi0202]

I visited Nauru in 2007, and i must admit is a really fu.ked up country.

Poor peaple! :-(

[nibogal]

i don't what you we're doing there.....but i guess i could say the same thing about your country..."when in Rome" my friend....

[ottonpapa]

thanks for uploading, i can't believe that i'ved been in this peaceful island.

[Hasselberg666]

in 1998 when i as a child first read about this Island, i was amazed :)

i want to go there someday...but then i must go to Australia first?

[Emperadorartico1289]

me gustaria visitar nauru

[starstwinkles]

I am writing a book (in Chinese) on my childhood years in Nauru from 1964 to 1974. From the late 50s to early 80s there were thousands of Chinese labourers work in Nauru and my father worked as the Kitchen Chief for the Chinese community and also he owned Star Twinkles Restaurant. I have very fond memories of Nauru and I would appreciate if anyone has any pictures or stories to share.

[jtione]

I remember Star Twinkle very well..wow.

[dove16kipayo]

@starstwinkles yeap :) if ur still interested. contact me at: christine_utanes@yahoo.com.au

I know ur restaurant :) my family would eat there every Sunday ^_^

we were so sad when it closed down

[jenny82833]

@starstwinkles I lived in Nauru in 1967---1970

[andy40nt]

@starstwinkles I loved on Nauru between 1968 and 1971. I remember when star twinkles had its sign painted. The restaurant was going to be called the Twinkles Star restaurant but because the sign writer read right to left is got called the Star Twinkles instead by mistake. The video reminds me of a lot of my childhood, I learned to fish from an outrigger and didnt know how to use a fishing rod when I was first given one back in Australia.

[fedepinnaattosecondo]

[zone003]

Thanks for posting this great video of Nauru. It really gives you the feeling of the place. I have fond memories of living on Nauru in 1976 when all was well & the people were rich. Our son was born in the NPC hospital. Even though things have changed a lot it is good to see the people are still smiling, particularly the children where the future lies.

[mexxryan]

nauru it interessant country

[scourtheearth]

Thank you for posting this video. there are really few videos out there showing what a trip to nauru might be like. thank you so much.

[Huanos]

Does anybody know what the piece of music being sung is? Cheers

[Killamanjaro4]

I Cannot Believe someone actually Posted this It reminds me of Good 2 Year old Times.....

[dczaran]

Thanks for a look at a country few people see.

[ketturuut]

i hope i could someday visit nauru. looks like a really nice country

[Killamanjaro4]

It really is Nice i am From there and i know almost all bout it (not bragging)

[MaoriMum]

Thx for the clip, I lived on the island between 77-79 and went to NSS and Aiwo primary. Things sure are different now. Back then there was too much money and no one knew what to buy...outdoor movies..Star twinkles...Civic movies on a Sat..oh not too mention Bony M. Wonder if they are still listening to them. Great Island, im sadden by whats happened, I hope they can bounce back!

[ice9fetus81]

why?what happened to this beautiful country?

[jtione]

Money and greed destroyed it...

[ice9fetus81]

OMG!it is more likely to happen also in the philippines....

[Edo111567]

The Naurans' own greed and stupidity ruined it. They were sitting on on the ultimate lottery ticket--the richest country in terms natural resources per capita in the world AND in a paradisical location--and they pissed it all away.

[MX10505]

dude ! it was not their fault !

[menino91]
