It is in the tropics. My plane stops there almost everytime I go to Guam.
The Yapese understand themselves. They are very traditional - the most traditional of all the Federated States of Micronesia. For example, the women there go topless, (but are careful to cover their thighs!) like one may see on National Geographic. They are culturally very confident, and don't really care to change too much. They know who they are, and intend to stay who they are. They are very old school micronesian, as opposed to Chuuk, where the kids are listening to rap music and huffing paint.
Not much crime, safe, slow, easy going. The diving there is good, they have lots of rays, (although its not as good as the diving in Palau.) They all speak english, and it's very affordable. If one wanted to get away from the modern world for awhile, and relax on a beach in a very safe part of the world, Yap would fit the bill.
