The time of the merchant ships in the North. Because the island has land, fresh water should be from the time he had inhabited.

Terrestrial animals have civet, golden monkeys, squirrels, chamois, roe deer, wild boars, otters are hunted much ... but barely so. On the island there are iron ore discharge point (discovered 1966), limestone, tectit (gems).

In the past, thanks to the fresh water year-round islanders should also break apart rice paddy soil oranges, tangerines, tea ...

Now agriculture shrunk, partly people make their living at sea, the capital up friends aquaculture, partly as petty trade and services contracting part of plantation timber.

Most people in society are recognized over the past dozen years, their lives have changed in the direction of better traffic no longer difficult with narrow dirt roads slippery and muddy on rainy days as before, but instead it is widely concrete road.

However, no preliminary investigation temple.

Radar stations located on the island’s highest peaks with altitude 485 meters above sea level. Many reporters in each group traveling across national regions, from high mountains to islands in the South Central and acknowledged: Radar station up the road is the most difficult and strenuous because gas Miss humid here year round, so the stones always smooth, slip the slipped immediately.

Top station, a new brotherhood, their injuries are not lack of food, because the food that wounded soldiers living in moist year round. At nightfall blankets but also to bright light, it weighs a lot more than water vapor remains, including days of sunshine and dry never curved, wet clothes always so bright right out of his throat outdoor. If the half smokes cigarette paper is wet steam. Living in long wet well acquainted.

Yet with all his weapons are always carefully preserved and always good 24/24h activities to ensure that all anomalies on the sacred waters of the country were not through his eyes.
