The story of the nicely painted buildings goes as follows. At one time all of the buildings were white. The govenor complained to the townspeople that he got a headache from all the white buildings when the sun shone on them. His residence is the yellow building in a past post, with the tablets on them. He then ordered that all the buildings be painted various colors. Later it was found to be true that the Govenor himself owned the paint factory. So although he made a bundle, the townsfolk were not too happy with him. Cute story hey?
