Does having so many holidays make T*T nice or does it just make the people even more laid back than they are already? |
I took a while to find this thread since my main interest on joining was TTUTA.
I must say that I was very happy to see it.
Trinidad is a place where it is easy to find things to do regardless of your interests.
It's also a place where because we are still small enough, people do not necessarily have to earn a lot of money in order to enjoy life. There are numerous free shows etc.
Our taxi and bus service is excellent and travel from one end of Trinidad to the other is cheap and easy to manage.
Every dog and his father has a cell phone so we can confirm that communication is not only readily available but cheap, cheap, cheap.
We have freedom of speech almost to the level of the ridiculous.
We actually DO live in harmony with africans celebrating al of the east indian holidays and vice versa. Try to get roti skin on the day before Divali or Eid nuh.
Everyone has friends of every race or nationalityAnd as LDS_forever said, people are made to feel welcome.
That does not mean that there is no discrimination, then we really would be Paradise, but it's not a majority affair. Some politicians would like us to believe that to divide and conquer us.
There is more but I do not have time or space

A good lime. Let's face it, a lime here and a lime somewhere else is just not the same. The beaches, a run round the savannah, stopping to drink a coconut, and eating some good curry duck!
Let me think back to what made me fall in love with the place:
The various food....I love Trini Chinese, Indian, and creole fare. I love the snack food too...cheers and nut king corn curls are my favorite! Oh and flavorite ice cream.
The people....I am always treated so nice there whether its family, frens, or a stranger
The Lime...once its 2 or more involved its party time.
The jokes... Trinis always good for a laugh
The rum shop...good for a drink and some social commentary
The weather...sure all the Caribbean islands are warm but its something I love about Trinidad
The beaches...Trinidad is nice but Tobago is nicer.
The party scene....the clubs and lounges are great but the fetes are the absolute best in the world!
CARNIVAL CARNIVAL CARNIVAL...the best best best best
The laid back attitude...can be annoying at times but its also something I like.
The warmth and concern neighbors show each other....it can sometimes be described as "fassness" but it is good most of the time. if you and your neighbors are good you will never be hungry. My mother was bought up like that and I've seen her give food and clothes to our neighbors who didn't have.
Theres much more but thats enough for now.
