ABT, i feel yuh on that. it have man who does go home for carnival and spend two weeks enjoy the best of what the country has to offer and come back talking bout how "trini sweet".
i does only laugh @ them, bc i can't live in no country where if i stand up for my self against an unfair police officer i could collect ah slap down, or i can't have nice things without worrying about attracting low lives and bandits, or i can't cuss mdcnt without getting a ticket or arrested bc they still have some 1700s colonial laws on the books.
there is so much things wrong with trinbago, that a fella who lived in ah efficient well rounded society will definitely have a hard time adjusting to that way of life. i for one don't really venture out too much when i go home.
i like the grass roots out lets, the coconut man, the doubles man, the breakfast shed, the fruit man, the corner chinese shop where i will stop and drink too malta and buy ah rounds for the tesses and come up the road, tomorrow is ah another day. hit ah two macarepe take ah lime in the panyard, take in ah tent and i dun wid dat!
i eh goin down no arrapetta ave in no fancy bar, or i eh goin by jenny's for them tuh tell me i have tuh dress up tuh come in their place, and i definitely eh goin back in republic bank fuh no body tuh tell meh tuh take off meh hat.
i does be down the other caribbean islands and is only then i will go to a fancy restaurant. in those places no body eh tellin yuh tuh take off yuh hat, no body eh tellin yuh dat yuh need tuh dress up to go out dinning, and the police doh interfere with you, especially when yuhs ah visitor to their shores. and in these places have real fine dinning bc they catering for the tourist industry, so better bars, better restaurants, way better beaches and no body eh trying tuh rob yuh and kill yuh fuh yuh own things.
