Business trip to Trinidad

So I was lucky enough to get the opportunity and go work in Trinidad. Through out the years I had heard so much about the Island but never thought in a million years I would visit this beautiful place. My initial reaction to when I first landed was (this place looks just like Barbados) not so much. Barbados is clearly more tropical and caters more to the tourist type crowd. Trinidad is a bit different. If you've ever had the opportunity to visit places like, Venezuela, Colombia, Nicaragua etc..this is exactly the way Trinidad looks like. I stayed in a a great hotel called the Kapok, very accommodating. Breakfast was my favorite time of the day. I had a private elevator that would escort me directly in the middle of the 8th floor where breakfast was being served. Trinidadians’ are clearly hustlers. You find your local vendors in the streets and bartering is really big in the island. I drove a right-handed stick shift car in a left-handed road-this was very confusing to say the least. The nightlife in Trinidad is one like you will ever imagine. One thing is Carnival in February but the truth of the matter is that Trini's never stop partying all year around. I visited the famous St James Street and got to feast myself with one of the famous local Roti-authentic style. Tobago is definitely what you want to visit if you’re going to Trinidad.
