Various: A night out in Betio
Betio in South Tarawa is the only place in Kiribati where you can do anything like a pub crawl, especially on a weeknight, when everywhere else is dead. I started off in the Gateway Nightclub, which looks more like a Cambodian prison, but true to the hospitable form of the Kiribati people, I was soon befriended and taken around a variety of watering holes which I didn't get the names of but had a great time in, finishing very drunk and happy in the early hours of the morning. The only dress code is that you must BE dressed! Anything goes. If you want to turn up barefoot in a filthy,torn vest, that's fine! In fact, wearing sandals would appear to be the height of smart dress in Betio nightspots!
