ONE GALLON OF GAS IS ONLY
$0.80 IN PALAU IN 2000
My best friend in Palau for 19 years Amante Caballero told me in 2000 that if I buy gas at Belechel Gas Station, I can have a full tank for $5.00!
Since then until today, the Belechel Gas Station always offer the cheapest gas price in Palau. Their gas station near Marina Hotel (now Landmark Hotel), is where I taught Mr. Belechel and his son Reagan piano...
Taught Reagan Belechel Ngirngebedangel (Palauan) keyboard in June 27, 29, 1999; January 13, 20, 27, February 03, 10, 11, 18, 25, June 13, 15, 25, 27, 29, July 04, 07, 11, 13, 18, 25, 27, August 01, 08, 10, 15, 17, 22, 24 and 29, 2000. September 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 2001.
Taught Mr. Belechel Ngirngebedangel (Palauan) keyboard in January 26, 28, 1999; February 01, 03, 11, 17, 23, 25, 1999; May 04, 09, 12, 1999; June 13, 15, 25, 1999 & May 08, 2002.
Unfortunately, Mr. Belechel passed away but his gas station still offers the cheapest gas price in Palau...
A TRIBUTE TO ONE OF MY KEYBOARD STUDENTS --
MR. BELECHEL
NGIRNGEBEDANGEL
Although he's just an average student in terms of potential in keyboard playing, but his love for music is very intense. I have to choose the right key and songs to teach him whether it's American or Palauan songs.
I have taught him in 2 different places -- in his office at the same place of his Belechel Store just across the Koror Elementary School and at his house about 3 kilometers away. ***(The place was leased to a Chinese investor in 2016 and became Jing Pin Hotel).
I taught Mr. Belechel Ngirngebedangel keyboard in January 26, 28, 1999; February 01, 03, 11, 17, 23, 25, 1999; May 04, 09, 12, 1999; June 13, 15, 25, 1999 and the last time on May 08, 2002.
I also taught his son Reagan Belechel Ngirngebedangel keyboard in June 27, 29, 1999; January 13, 20, 27, February 03, 10, 11, 18, 25, June 13, 15, 25, 27, 29, July 04, 07, 11, 13, 18, 25, 27, August 01, 08, 10, 15, 17, 22, 24 and 29, 2000. After he resumed his studies in USA, I didn't teach him for more than a year and resumed my teaching to him on September 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 2001.
Mr. Belechel sells the most cheapest gas in Palau so I always put gas in his gas station where you can see him personally pump gas to your car. Although his gasoline station's site is farther than many other stations, it's worth it if you are just a few meters away. At that time, I'm teaching piano to Jasmine Yano in her house, where his gas station is just across the road.
Although he passed away in July 2013, his gas station still sells the most cheapest gas in Palau.
Some of the songs that I taught Mr. Belechel are Spanish Eyes, Beautiful Sunday, Ngesuas, Odesangel, Green, Green Grass of Home, Let Me Be There, Release Me and many others that I can't recall anymore.
