Trinidad

 Trinidad

  

Trinidad is a small island in the Caribbean island chain located near the upper eastern part of south america, giving it a Indian and Spanish flavor. 


Food

Since Trinidad is so close to the South American country Guyana, it is tied very strong in Indian culture making the foods a strong mix of the two. A lot of the cuisine in Trinidad consists of curries. My step mom being from Trinidad gave me a personal example of the foods they have to offer in Trinidad, and let me tell you, they are SPICY!


This is an example of chicken curry, most meals are topped on a rice base to split the strong flavors of the spices added in the curry. 



Culture and Language 

Many find this surprising, as i did when i was first informed, but Trinidad was first conquered by the Spanish, but then taken over by the British in the late 1700's. That being said, the popular language on the island is English. This was funny to me because the people there are from a hot island with lots of melanin in their skin, but have strong British accents, which was very interesting to me. 


Sights and Places to visit

Trinidad is a very bright and welcoming island with vast forests and wildlife, as well as bright sand and clear water. Englishman's bay is a great example of one of the many bright and beautiful attractions Trinidad has to offer. 




This is an image of the raw and untouched beauty you can find in Trinidad, Englishman's bay, one of the most popular attractions in Trinidad, and for good reason. This little body of water found at the break of the tree line demonstrates the diversity this island has to offer, and further depicts how, as a whole, this island is  absolutely breathtaking.

 Criteria i feel as though my blogs meet the criteria and definitely portray the correct point, however i do find myself having trouble with formatting my blogs and making them look unique. I can write and have no problems, but blogs are about expressing your creative ideas and i just have trouble ding that in a blog.  Stress I don't normally have a problem with writing and expressing my thoughts, but its just hard for me to add pictures and find the ones that i want to use. I'm used t expressing myself with words, not usually visuals added in like a power point. Effort My blogs and writings have my best effort, it would be a waste o time to work on these and not try, especially when I pay for my classes, it would just feel like a waste fir me to not express my ability to write. Work Ethic Normally i like to complete all of my homework for not just this class, but every class over the weekend. during the week i have my somewhat busy work schedule as well as the gym everyday be...

Confusions of "El Caribe Gris"

Image
                                                Christopher Columbus     The problems I ran in to while trying to read and comprehend the text of "El Caribe Gris", or " The Gray Caribbean" was just understanding the main points, especially since the text is pretty lengthy and goes in multiple directions and doesn't really continue the same thought the whole way through.     However, it was slightly easier when we were given the shortened, to the point text of Caribe Gris, as it was more on the same topic instead of jumping around. Another problem is that it is translated, and through google translate at that, so some points are misinterpreted and recited different than they should be.         What i did to combat the hardships of this reading is i somewhat dissected  it, reading a small portion at a time,...
