Look. They have their customs and traditions. If they reckon it's alright for leader's to walk on their backs, who are we to disagree?

I've been to Kiribati.

I didn't get that, nor did I ever see it done.

Must've dragged that one up out of antiquity cos I can't even find any reference to it, or any other pics for that matter.

But you might not have seen it done because youw were an outsider?

Or didn't need to be kowtowed to, like the Chinese Ambassador.

It's a small nation.  I was there for 2 months.  My sister and family lived there for 5 years.

Enough 'distinguished' people arrived in that time.

One report I saw, said it was children he was walking on - couldn't see if it was from just that one pic though.

I don't much care, but thought it was strange I'd never heard of it.

edit:  googling 'kowtow' makes sense now
