Visiting Puerto Rico

     

             



              Being a US territory, getting into Puerto Rico does not require a visa or passport, as long as you are a registered American citizen, you can freely go to and from Puerto Rico as you please. Considering Puerto Rico is a Us territory, that also means the currency is the same in both places, so Puerto Rico uses the US dollar, so you don’t have to exchange any currency or go through any complications.

               A flight to Puerto Rico is pretty cheap it seemed, well right now at least during all this chaos, but I found a round trip to San Juan from Atlanta flying spirit airlines for a total of 129 US dollars. The hotel I was able to find is in San Juan and would be for a five-night stay from October 22nd through October 27th for only 150 dollars!  The hotel is 9 out of 10 rated and has two rooms with one full bathroom, a view of the city of San Juan and is close to a lot of the exciting things you can do in San Juan.

               In San Juan, there are so many fun and exciting things to do an see, some of the things they offer are, getting a tour of the city of San Juan passing by some of the landmarks along the way for only 41 dollars. You can also go on a hiking adventure through the more rural pat of San Juan with a natural swimming area for only 76 dollars. As well as taking dancing classes to learn the cultural dances of the country, and going on mini food tour, trying the most famous and best foods San Juan has to offer for 110 dollars. Majority of the things you would want to do in this part of the island are reasonably priced.

               Places of interest in San Juan are the San Juan Cathedral, this historic landmark is one of the oldest cathedrals, and the oldest building in San Juan. Another place, less my speed but still interesting,  is the San Juan cemetery, this cemetery shows the elaborate grave stones, beautiful ocean view, as well as a piece of history that is often overlooked.

Trinidad

  Tri ni dad    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.  F oo d 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 melani

Introduction

Racism is still widely evident throughout the entire world, not only in America. It has many far-reaching tentacles which have existed for centuries. Not exempt from these tentacles, is the island country of Puerto Rico and its native people, the Taino. Its native peoples were systematically erased by European colonists and replaced by African slaves. Throughout the centuries, the slaves have remained and have bred with the those of different cultures and races. These mixed races are both a sign of progression as well as a continuing source of controversy, as they struggle to find their own identities.

blog 6 Puerto Rico

          Puerto Rico is a mid-sized island in the Caribbean region that is a mix of United states and afro Caribbean culture, making them very different than the other islands in culture and in language. The language mostly spoken here is Spanish with a slight mix in of English and English phrases. Puerto Ricans are known for speaking fast Spanish, my stepdad is Puerto Rican so whenever family would come, I had a less than zero percent chance of understanding or translating any type of conversation that was had. Surprising to me, during my research I found that the currency used is the US dollar, which is most likely obvious considering America funds them and they are a territory of ours, but I was still surprised reading that. Continuing with economy, Puerto Rico in previous years had one of the strongest economies in the Caribbean region, now things are a little different as most of their funding comes form America, but its still impressive none the less. The culture of Puerto R
