Introduction.. / A Trini's Struggle..

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago  (edited)

Just a short introduction to me.. just your regular bitconnect user. i have been lending for little over a year now and i can really say things are going well. Being from the small Island of Trinidad & Tobago people often ask me "Do you all drink coconuts and live in huts all day?" "Do you have roads ?" Or if i knew Bob Marley ... Facepalm-2541.png
But to answer the obvious.. we have Internet.. impressive houses and luxury vehicles. Now while we may not be big we do have the largest and most significant pitch lake in the world. Which means yes. We do have paved roads and have paved over 50 countries including the United States of America, England, India, Singapore, Egypt, and even Japan. pitch-lake-5[2].jpg

While we may have this pitch lake somehow trinidad's roads look a little something like this..

All of the above pics are also from TT's own newspaper ! The corrupt governments that run here are mostly to blame..with everyone here paying tax and work tax.. Heres one last one to really show you what a pothole can turn into in good ole T&T :D
