We can run :) but we cannot hide :)

[cocoapanyol]

I over heard a fella talkin today, so I asked him where he from and he answered TnT and I said the same here, He then asked me where I was from and I said port of spain he said Maraval and I said yeah by Boissere village then we had a Good Ole talk about the good ole days.

We Trinis can run (or move to all parts of the world) but we cannot hide.

One more to add to de Lime here

I still laugh when people say they are from Port of Spain.  I even asked a person if he was a vagrant in the street because those are the only people I see living in POS. Of course this is not accurate because of streets like George and Nelson Streets to name a few. Just thought I'd throw a little fatigue as I saw it. 

Hmmm...my fren who living Duke Street donkey years now eh go agree wid yuh on dat yuh know!!
