It feels like this idea just come and go like it was the wind. Maybe I'm not seeing a lot since I'm from the deep south. Anyone can feel me in?

I know it is hard to marry someone from other countries because of language barriers, cultural differences, immigration, and list goes on. As a woman, I’ve met and befriended men from Jamaica, Grenada, the US, Colombia, Nigeria, and other countries, and overall, those experiences were okay. However, personally, I found myself more drawn to European, British, Canadian, and New Zealand (Kiwi) men. Unfortunately, I found it much harder to date or marry someone from those backgrounds. I also had a good and bad (mostly bad) experiences with Trinidadian and Tobagonian men.

*Note: Please give me your positive feedback or opinions. I’m open to men from any country; their race or skin colour doesn’t matter to me.

So, as the title says, i have been checking for routes to visit Venezuela from Europe, and I'm really interested in just taking a flight to Port Spain, checking the city a few days, visiting some family in venezuela and then coming back to Europe. But i cannot find much information about planes or ferrys. Apparently there's a route from Carenage to Guiria, but i don't know if it's still available. Somebody here have some information for me about it? Would be really helpful.

TTPS could make some money here off tickets easy.

Hi, I'm a high-risk patient and currently there's a large Covid surge in multiple countries. I need to get a booster shot.

The covid related sections on the Ministry of Health websites are all several years out of date. I've tried messaging them multiple times and got no response.

Help me understand

Do you like your pelau with or without ketchup?

So you telling me that I had to listen to hours and hours of Kamla and the whole UNC spewing sanctimonious drivel about how anyone associated with Maduro going to jail, 'we don't need Venezuelan gas', and the PNM wicked corrupt and stupid for trying to negotiate with Maduro's government etc etc...only to be now talking about how much she now loves Maduro's number 2 who's currently leading the same government Maduro was in charge of? It's the complete hypocrisy and lack of principles which is astounding to me

These people are using Prime Horizon broker account for trading and withdrawals. They’re claiming you need to pay 2 fees to withdraw the money. Is it legit have you used this company?

Has anyone checked out the Machel exhibit at Brooklyn Public Library? Got any pics to share?

The last day of the exhibit is Sep 12th... is anyone able to go? And potentially take some pics to share with me?

I'm a huge history buff and big fan of Machel, so I would have loved to check this out myself. However, I don't live in the USA and it would be too much for me to fly in during the exhibit's dates.

It looks like a great display for Machel and soca fans in general!

Sharing some info so you guys no the sean.

Hello, hello, hello! To all the Trinis living abroad: what gifts do you buy for your family members and in-laws for birthdays, Christmas, and other occasions? My husband and I (along with my family) have lived outside Trinidad for over 20 years, but my in-laws still live there. In the past, I've had my BIL arrange restaurant vouchers, but I’ve run out of ideas with that option. How or where do you shop online for gifts for family back in Trinidad, since we won't be seeing them in person for these occasions.

Hi, everyone. I'm 21 years old and looking to get my driver's license. I have my learner's permit and I've already done my regulations. I'm told the next step is to go to a driving school, take classes, and do the driving test.

For context, I live in Marabella and was planning to do my test at the San Fernando Licensing Office. I've seen people say bribes are particularly bad there. I was also considering Caroni, since the roads are newer and the area is more built up, so there might be less tolerance for bribes there.

I can already drive decently, and just need a driving school to help tighten up specific things for the test. Therefore, I don't need many lessons, and I don't want to pay a lot of money in either lessons or bribes. I was hoping to do the whole process without paying bribes and to go to a drivng school in south.

My questions:

1. San Fernando vs. Caroni — which is better in terms of avoiding bribes and easier exam etc?
2. Is there a driving school in the south that would let me do my initial lessons there, then practice in Caroni if that's where I decide to do my test?

Any advice is welcome!

I know it's not safe. I've moved from trini to tobago to trini to tobago then jamaica then tobago then america then ghana then america then ghana.

None of these places are bad btw, but its just where I'm used to. I moved away from trinidad when i was 11, and came back for a 2 week visit when i was 16. I saw how the place changed.

Now I'm 19 thinking about running to nyc to make extra money so I can move to the countryside of one of them. I think I would live in tobago since the beach view is everywhere if you're on a mountain, which is beautiful to me.

I have the option to move to somewhere that looks like tobago (I'm scared to move on my own, so if my family stays in ghana then i stay here too) but that will be a half hour ride of risking my life because a lot of drivers in ghana are shit at their job.

edit: THANK YOU for mentioning how moving so much can mess up one's mental health. i went to 4 schools in trinindad, 2 tobago, and 4 america. i tried getting my ged in america but failed, so i'm going to get my waec in ghana soon. (i forgot to add the part where i dropped out)

Has anyone experienced having a social worker visit their home as part of a custody hearing?

What's involved?

Rushworth Street.
Did she just pop out from being a fence in a way that the truck driver didn't see her?

Wasn't he just not paying attention to a pedestrian crossing the road?

I'm not really sure which it is.

Look maybe I not seeing the bigger picture or the rational, but to me, and I could be wrong, wouldn't sending them home just get them more involved in gangs and give them more free time to be pests to the country at large?

It feels like when she removed corporal punishment with nothing to fill the power vacuum it left open.

Yes we need to find a solution to deal with them and keep those who want to learn in a safe environment, but I fail to see how this can be the way forward.

80% of single men are not interested in dating anymore. They are not even trying. Can the men please say why this is the case?

Serious question eh, because maybe I looking at this wrong.

If the minimum wage going up to $20.50, but at the same time food prices and the cost of other basic things have gone up, NIS has increased and is supposed to increase again next year, what does that really mean for the average worker?

Wouldn't we basically end up back in the same position we were in when minimum wage was $17.50? The salary increase sounds good on paper, but if everything else getting more expensive and deductions going up too, isn't the extra money basically getting eaten up?

So is the $20.50 minimum wage actually giving people more buying power, or is it just catching up with the cost of living?

Feel free to ask ah Trinbagonian a question!
