Sometimes I become speechless when people ask me a loaded inquiry such as “Oh Trinidad..that must be nice. Surely you go back there to visit relatives regularly”. Then I think, “Why to people have this crazy notion that any tropical banana republic is some sort of heavenly spot to lounge on a beach nearby to coconut palms etc?” Well the next time they start up with this nonsense I’ll respond by showing them this particular post on this blog –and a few others.
Look! See TT Express 2013-08-05 where forensic services strain to cope with a spate of 14 murders. Then see much of what we’ve written on murder on this blog. Read the stats on How you value your life – or not.
If you wanna go there, please do! You deserve to go there – and please get onto that beach.
