What are the humanistic characteristics of Kiribati?

Kiribati residents are not only hardworking, but also very brave. Many people are good at fishing and sailing. No matter how rough the waves are, they will know their course clearly and find their destination. The traditional hut in Kiribati looks very low, but the roof is very high, so people's activities in it are not affected. This kind of house can block the violent impact of strong sunlight and heavy rain. The main foods of Kiribati people are taro, coconut and some tropical fruits, such as mango, banana and betel nut. People like to eat fish, but they don't like vegetables very much.

In Kiribati, men and women, old and young, never use titles. At home, they are called by their first names. In society, people are called by their first names on any occasion, at any time and to anyone. But in diplomatic occasions, they abide by the internationally accepted appellation. The main festivals in Kiribati are New Year's Day, National Day, Easter, Jesus ascensiontide, Thanksgiving, Christmas and so on.

Kiribati tourist resort has exquisite and chic tropical huts, which can provide comfortable homes for those "warriors" who have traveled long distances. During World War II, American and Japanese troops also fought on Kiribati's main islands, so if you are interested, visitors can visit old battle sites or watch 8-foot (about 20-meter) long coastal defense guns and solid concrete bunkers. Kiribati's official travel website has also given a friendly reminder: when the sea ebbs, if visitors look closely, they can see the remains of ships and some rusty handicrafts left over from the past.
