Most atolls surround turquoise 22and barely rise above the surrounding ocean, so it's rare to be out of the sight and sound of thesea.Kiribati's British colonial and WWII history has had 23 impact on the outer islands,where the people subsist on coconuts, breadfruit and fish as they have done for centuries.Even on the main island, Tarawa, most locals live in traditional raised thatched huts. Westerninfluence is increasing, 24 , in the form of cars, bars, movies and the Internet, andinevitably there's an escalating urban drift from the outer islands to Tarawa.The people of the islands are known as I-Kiribati. Wide-eyed children may chirp a bold'mauri' (hello) to passing strangers, while their elders tend towards a(n) 25 raise of aneyebrow in greeting. Nothing happens fast here, so wind down, relax and enjoy living on islandtime.
