The Island of the Sleeping Lady

History:
Long before the age of western colonization, Kosrae( formerly known as Kusai) was inhabited by malayo-polynesian seafaring people, based on archeological evidence. However, studies are still ongoing and it 
remains inconclusive. ( kosrae.com). "History." Kosrae Island-Magnificent everyday, 2010. (1/10/2017). 
From the beginning until now, the island of Kosrae depicts the shape of a human figure lying down.The tale 
behind the magnificent outline of the "sleeping lady" is another mystery that remains unanswered. According 
to the indigenous population, the figure is the remains of a mother of four children. The names of the four 
children are known today as the four villages of Kosrae ( Tafunsak, Malem, Utwe, Lelu). 

Kosrae is a very decent place to visit and explore. With its untouched nature, Kosrae has a lot to offer,
ranging from diving sites to hiking trails and WWII artifacts. The people of Kosrae are known for their
hospitality and politeness. Kosrae is a very small place with a population of roughly 8,000. The island of
Sleeping Lady is known to the Micronesian region as the "Jewel of Micronesia".
