To say the island is sparsely populated is an understatement. There is only one road, skirting the edge between volcanic mountains and the Pacific Ocean. The road, which isn’t always paved, doesn’t make a complete loop of the island. This scene is common.

The back room of the only supermarket on the island. This store, the MH Supermarket, opened in 2008, and it “replaced an old, much smaller, timber-boarded outlet.”
In addition to groceries (including, apparently, a lot of onions), the store sold furniture, household appliances, and school supplies.
