Talking TnT real sweet........

I know thi s is long but this is an article written by ah photography group that wil be in Trini fo carnival. They r so in depth....... plesae read......
World class Carnival, calypso, steel drum music and two masters of the English language-author V. S. Naipaul and playwright/poet Derek Walcott, both Nobel Laureates-all connect artistically with Trinidad in the West Indies. Among Caribbean countries, Trinidad ranks as an atrs power.
Yet for most Caribbean vacationers, Trinidaad's small sister island in the twinned Republic of Trinidad & Tobago remains better known. That disparity follows an almost half-centuary-old national decision to promote tourism in pictureque, resource-poor Tobago while developing Trinidad's rich oil and natural-gas deposits.
Result os that tourism in Trinidad remains "ah Trini ting," distinct, pleasurable, homegrown, and largely outside the intl mainstream, driven by local investment with few cost-inflating imports. That, plus the six-to-one exchange rate btwn TnT's $ & the U.S. $, ensures Trinidad's position as the best year round buy in the Caribbean travel.
And even though farthest removed from North America & therefore more expensive to reach than, say the Bahamas or Jamaica, among islands of the region Trinidad also ranks as the most complex and rewarding. Both BWIA & AA fly into POS.
Trinidad has the flowers, rain forest, peaks, fertile valleys, and beaches beautifully common to most of the Caribbean. But Trinidad also claims exceptional natural features such as La Brea Pitch Lake, the wild life-filled Caroni and Nariva Swamps, the mountainside Asa Wright nature centre, the bird-breeding grounds of the Pointe-a Pierre Wild Fowl Trust, and exquisite birding everywhere. Its mineral deposits make the country comparatively wealthy. Result is a rare widespread worldliness among English speaking islanders.
This sophistication combines well with TnT's blend of east Indians, Blacks, and mixed ethnicities. Trinbagonians are one of the most racially tolerant ppl anywhere in the world, with a culture adapted from around the globe that, in everything from food to architecture, ranks distinctivrly as TnT's own.
Sun, sand, and sea may constitute the standard issue Tropics. But colorful, one-of-a-kind, and affordable TnT supplies travellers with the gift-wrapped version.........
Plese do tell what u think of this Piece.....
