Hoogo map qua...

While going around town saying hi to My's relatives and friends, I've noticed that there's a trend to their reactions to seeing me. Almost across the board, the first thing they say is something like, "Hoogo map qua" (Howell's all fat). So I've gained a few pounds... I mean, it IS possible my gut might be getting large enough to have its own name. Then they might add the fact that I'm fish-belly white. So, I'm a fat white man.

Apparently that's a good thing here. They love fat. And white too, actually. So really it's a compliment. Although I'll be lean and brown pretty soon.
