Night Life in Trinidad

So if you are like me, I am one who truly loves their country and all that it has to offer. In Trinidad, there are endless things to do and see at night. There are things like visiting the Look Out on the Lady Young, going to Queen's Park Savannah (the largest roundabout in the world!) to enjoy an array of foods from gyro to soups of all kinds, coconut water and snowcone. But these activities are enjoyed best when in the company of good friends where you can have a good time and just laugh whilst enjoying the views.

However, if you are looking for a calmer evening then I would suggest you arrange a girls night out and just enjoy each others company. You can go to dinner at various places, but if you are looking to partake in some scrumptious foods and a really nice experience then places like The Town, Chaud, and Aioli is for you. My preference is always The Town because of its lovely setting and food that is always good and pleasant staff who would do anything to make sure that their customers are happy.

So once you've had dinner and you and your girls or guys are still not in the mood to go home, then Ariapita Avenue is the place to go. Here you can find everything from clubs and restaurants, with everything else in-between. This area really comes to life around 11pm and doesn't stop until about 4am each and every weekend, whether rain or holiday, people ALWAYS there!! So if you are up for an adventure then I suggest you grab you crew and head over for a night on the town. But until next time, keep cool, stay safe and be awesome!!!!

Maracas and Las Cuevas Bay

So you bought your ticket and hopped on a flight and came straight down to this sweet sweet island for a vacation to have the time of your life. You landed in Piarco, collected your luggage and headed to your hotel and you get there but now you are uncertain of what to do, well no worries, this 'Trini' will help you to navigate and make your way through this country. A must see location is Maracas or Las Cuevas Bay for some fun in the sun and a little relaxation. Let me tell you, the food from Richard's is amazing and you must try the bake and shark or bake and kingfish as they like no other!!!!

Aside from this, the atmosphere and liveliness of the beach and the surroundings would have you thinking about wanting to move to this country permanently, and if you are from Trinidad and Tobago then you know what I am talking about. Be it a public holiday or a weekend, the 'vibes' at these beaches will never end. Here you can hear endless Soca songs that would have you 'wining' down to the ground and although Carnival has ended, in the words of MX Prime, you would be 'jamming still'.

Here you can see the mouth watering food that you can get on the beach. Once you've gotten your food, you can head over to the beach where you can engage in a game of either, football, netball, or even cricket with the locals who would gladly incorporate you into their fun. But all in all, brace yourself for a grand time and just know that that the sleep on the way back from the beach, is like no other. But until next time keep cool, stay safe and be awesome!!!!!!!

Historical Sight Seeing in Panama:Panamá Viejo

Panama is a country that has many places to see, which can produce some awesome pictures. Whilst on our trip, we were able to visit and see several amazing things that were unlike anything that we had ever seen before, adding to the uniqueness of the nation. We saw things like the 'screw building', whose name came from the design and shape of the building.

Despite seeing the cool architecture of the screw building, we had the opportunity to visit Panamá Viejo, Panamá Viejo is the remnants of the old Panama city, which was the former capital of the country, currently situated in the suburbs of the modern city. In tandem with the Historical District of Panama, Panamá Viejo has been a World Heritage site since the year 1997. This site is quite popular, so much so that the reward feast from a challenge of the 7th season the show Survivors was held at this location, but if you would like to read more about this place you can go the this link:Panamá Viejo History and Tours
The views from the top of one of the buildings is breath taking and what better way to enjoy a trip than going with friends whilst enjoying the breeze and sights from the top...don't believe me, check it out for yourself.

But ladies and gentlemen that is all for now so until next time, keep safe, stay cool and be awesome!!!!!

The Panama Canal

The Panama Canal is one of the must-see 7 wonders of the world, and if you are an avid history lover, then this is most definitely for you. The construction of the 50-mile canal of the Panama isthmus began in 1904 by the United States of America and was opened on 15 August 1914, when the oversight of the infamous canal was transferred from the United States to Panama in 1999. In 1994, the canal was recognized as the 7th wonder of the modern world by the American Society of Civil Engineers. This canal is used as a gateway for many, so much so that the canal hosted its 1millionth ship passing in September 2010.

The Canal has 3 locks which are the 3 chambered Gatun Locks, the one chambered Pedro Miguel Locks and the two-chambered Mira Flores Locks. Each of the locks is able to accommodate 2 transit lanes. The canal lifts ships 85 feet to the canal's main elevation and the drops it down and it takes the ships about eight to ten hours for a complete journey through the canal. At the canal, you have a first-hand opportunity to see the ships passing through which is so awesome to see.

To witness the sight of the ships coming through the canal is truly a wonderful sight as can be seen in this video below and if one ever has to opportunity to visit then I suggest that one seizes it, as it demonstrates the true craftsmanship of the many workers who would have slaved in order to make the canal possible. To see this process, on can go to this link to view it: Panama Canal Time Lapse

After watching all of the ships pass through, you can then visit the gift shop on the ground floor of the building to get little tokens to remember the day or for your loved ones. But if you and your friends want to be extra cool, then you can take a picture with a green screen and show it off which would look like this:

But ladies and gentlemen, that is all for now. So, until next time, keep cool, stay safe and be awesome!!!!
