have tons of fun and don't miss maple syrup, it will be there when you get back.

seriously, have a blast!

[floatingslowly]

don't drink the water.

[█████████]

i guess you better take some sun cream with you.

This is a big deal, EMMAh. Sort of like when the Amish kids leave the village for the first time. Don't be frightened--they do some strange things outside of Canada, but there are nice people, too. Stay away from men in long raincoats.

I wish i would get out of this shithole anytime soon.

Have fun in Trinidad, emmah.
don't forget to bring your camara.

[gmku]

Write when you find work.

[Everyneurotic]

ohh and be very careful if you try scoring pot.

Yep I would just suggest to enjoy yourself, and I agree with the advice to stay away from creeps, in fact I would generally be slightly wary of any adult men if I were you, teenagers tend to be relatively harmless, it's the adult men that go creepy when a young attractive girl is around, don't hesitate being rude to people like this, even if it's not natural for you. I remember once I was in an airport in Saudi Arabia (I know this isn't where you're going but it's just an example) and the first shop I went into at the airport a man started following me around the shop then out of the shop and wherever I went after that, even though I was with my sister. Don't think twice about getting the fuck outta a situation when you feel someone is watching or following you or starts talking to you when you don't want them to.

[floatingslowly]

personally, I wouldn't eat any uncooked veggies either.

Montezuma and his toxigenic friends are SERIOUS BUSINESS.

Cool, then you shouldn't have any problems. Enjoy yourself and I look forward to seeing the awesome photos Oh and I'm guessing you have travel insurance?

[mangajunky]

Where in Canada?
Will you be indulging in the poutine?

[Rob Instigator]

enjoy the hell out of your trip emmah. have a blast. trinidad adn tobago is not that much different, climate and landscape wise, from puerto rico. enjoy.

[davenotdead]

my ex-roommate was friggin raised in trinidad... i hope you can understand some weird-ass pronunciations and accents... you will get those... there will be weed... there will be sun... be sure to drink water cuz saltwater/sun/wind can wear you out. heat stroke is not good. have fun!

So yeah, anyone here ever been to Trinidad and Tobago? Or just have good travel advice for me?

sweeett.

i knew this dude from trinidad we used to work together. friendliest person ever.

what can i say about a foreign country-- avoid getting drunk among strangers? we don't want you in the news natalie holloway style.

oh yeah and watch out for sunfried skin. you're suppa-white, do not skimp on sunscreen. tan gradually. (actually you could do a fake tan in advance of leaving-- just to prep your skin for the sun-- maybe)

The reverse is also true. Teenage girls can be pretty creepy to old men. When I was in Germany, the first record store I went into this young girl who couldn't have been more than 16 started following me around the place, then out of the shop, and then she went for my pockets! Imagine my trying to explain this to the polizei! Turns out she was reaching for my wallet, but she used the pretense of coming on to me and all that. She thought just because she was a hot teenaged girl that I'd let her get close to me and stuff. As if. So leave old men alone, no matter how sexy they look.

[davenotdead]
