Land of my birth

Hello Readers!!!! 


I wanna talk about my country Trinidad and Tobago, a part of the Caribbean Islands. This was where i was born and raised, educated, fell in love, fell out of love, worked, among other things that i can't remember right now weather it be good or bad, this is where i lived for 30 years!!!


Here's a brief history of Trinidad and Tobago:
The history of Trinidad begins with the settlements of the islands by Amerindians. Both islands were explored by Christopher Columbus on his third voyage in 1498. Tobago changed hands between the British, French, Dutch and Courlanders, but eventually ended up in British hands. Trinidad remained in Spanish hands until 1797, but it was largely settled by French colonists. In 1888 the two islands were incorporated into a single crown colony. Trinidad and Tobago obtained its independence from the British Empire in 1962 and became a republic in 1976.

I love my country, and am proud of it, for a small country we really put ourselves on the Globe with Entertainment, Education, Tourism, Sports and more, I mean this is the land of Carnival, Calypso, Soca and Chutney Music AND the birth place of our National Instrument the Steel Pan!!

Steel Pan

Although i have only played mass ONCE in my life, it was a great experience! 

Another great thing about Trinidad and Tobago is the people, there are alot of different cultures, races, religions and they all live together as one, with mutual respect for one another, though everyone is different there is one thing every trini LOVE or at least did it once in their life is PARTY!!! and maybe drink LOL, in the sun, rain, snow (if we ever get that), Hurricane, through good times and bad times nothing does stop a trini from parting......NOTHING! Where ever in the world you go and it have a party and something happen, and you still seeing people or a person still parting, that person is a TRINI lol. 

Food!!!! Yes you heard me good, i love food and Trinidad and Tobago have lots of it!! From Indian, Creole, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Italian, American food we have it ALL. My personal favorite ROTI, MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM (ooops sorry) 

Here is a brief definition of Roti: bread made from stoneground wholemeal flour, traditionally known as atta flour, that originated and is consumed in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. It is also consumed in parts of the Southern Caribbean, in particular TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO! God bless the persons who brought Roti here lol.
