casinos and gambling are popular among tourists.  Most popular are the  lotteries in which the winning men (or the partners of the winning women) have the honor of being paraded through the streets with our island beauty kings, dressed in native clothing of pants that cling so tightly they appear to have legs and genitals made of silk. Their filmy shirts  are left unbuttoned to allow passersby a glimpse of their chest and abdominal muscles and the colorful island tattoos of flowering vines that begin at the navel and extend below the belt, ringing the phallus with native blossoms.  Of course most foreigners refuse to tattoo their genitals in the manner of real islanders, though one foreign journalist wrote of the unbearable pain he endured while acquiring his tattoo.  For weeks after he had nightmares that large birds were pecking his penis.
