      barby you're wrong to show the West Papuan flag. the flag you show is the flag of a separatist organization that is banned in Indonesia.

    I was one of the first official foreign visitors to East Timor. I was in the Navy, on USS Decatur and we went to East Timor right after they officially became a nation and had a dignitary get together on the ship. There's my moment in history, I guess.

      We also had a trip to Seychelles earlier in our deployment. Once of the best few days of my life. It can be expensive and people are always trying to rip you off with exchange rate scams, but it's a blast and so nice.

      Oh, and that cadet isn't in the military, yet. He's nothing. Signed his rights away but really has no rank... yet. Give him time, though. And try to not thank a service member/vet. Much like myself, I have found that most feel awkward when it happens and we really don't know how to respond.

    There's a little song that we all learned about the flag in kindergarten. It goes like this:
    Rouge comme les Flamboyants- Red like the Flame trees
    Bleu comme la mer- Blue like the sea
    Jaune comme le soleil- Yellow like the sun
    Et vert comme les champs de Canmes- And green like the sugarcane fields 🌴
    And i think it represents the island pretty well.

      Well, Kind of, Aztec and Nahuatl are the same thing, But saying they're alive is like asking "Is Navajo still spoken in the US?" Yes, but, it's not spoken by a majority.
      Today, around 4 to 5% of the Mexican population is Indigenous, but only 2% speaks a Native American Language like Nahuatl or the different varieties of Mayan Languages.
