We got a great tour guide, John, through the visitor's center downtown. And indeed he did. Not fat, just large. Like the King. Many of these people are very large, and it is quite odd to go into a clothing store and see XXXL shirts right on the rack.
Every store is a store for big and tall men.
John was watching me, and I was watching John, though he didn't know I was taking his picture. Nan was a useful subject to get the real picture that I wanted. Here are pictures of the Royal Palace and a villager's house, respectively. Note the modesty of the palace and the colors of the house. We also saw the blow holes on the western side of the island where the water shoots up with the waves as the tide comes in.
