Yap is an island in the Federated States of Micronesia. It is mostly known to scuba divers as being one of the few places in the world (if not the only place in the world) where you can dive with Manta Rays every day. It is also known for the large stone money that is still used for large transactions (US dollars are used for common transactions).

It is very remote and can be reached by plane only two days a week. It has less than 100 rooms for rent on the entire island and only a very few places to eat since the locals never eat in restaurants. It is the most traditional island in Micronesia where traditional clothing is still worn.

Even in Colonia (the capitol and only somewhat modern village on the island) it is not uncommon for woman to work in stores bare breasted. All in all, it is about as exotic place as you could ever find to visit.
