  • Getting ready to travel this holiday season? Dreading having to sit next to an "oversized" passenger on a long-haul flight to Grandma's?

He explains how he's adapted his traveling techniques (buying two seats, beseeching flight attendants for a seat-belt extender at the start of flights) and details some of the surprises he's encountered while traveling the world while fat: being told not to ride Vietnam's rickshaws, struggling to pass through a bus's turnstile en route to a Rio beach, and being playfully poked in the belly by curious kids in China who thought he resembled the Buddha.
