Pilau/Belau
Re; letter in March PIM Pilau? Can’t find it on good indexed maps of the Pacific.
There is however the Palau Islands in the Western Carolines. Since their recent indepen dence they are called the “Republic of Belau.”
They have a tourist industry, maybe 50,000 per year, built around scuba diving.
The term Pilau appears in some documents as another recent spelling of Belau/Palau.
Search using “Republic of Belau” or “Republic of Palau” and you will find Hotel/Tourist stuff. Also a Travel book “Micronesia Handbook” by Stanley (1996) has a 20 pages of stuff. Try Amazon to buy.
