Hi, really excited to be visiting Barbados for the first time next month. We’re staying in the west coast at the Tamarind. The hotel has recently reopened and I wondered what the beach and water sports are like?

Looking for a windsurf class over 2-3 days in October - intermediates level.

Any tips?

What ever happened to these at the airport?

Genuine question: How are you guys managing financially right now?

Gas prices are crazy, groceries keep getting more expensive along with electricity and internet bills.

Yet it seems like people aren't struggling (or hiding it pretty well), so I'm curious about what the average person here is actually earning.

For those comfortable sharing, are you making less or more than $2,500 monthly and what do you do?

For clarification I'm half Bajan and have been going here to see my mom's side of the family since before I can remember. And due to overfishing and climate change flying fish has all but disappeared. It depresses me. The last time I found some was at a truck selling cutters on some random beach my youngest cousin (naturally I have, like, 8 cousins) took me to.

Y'all live there year round so do you know this truck or any place this stuff is hiding? I know it's imported from Trinidad but I don't really care, I actually have family there too, it's the same animal going in my mouth and outside of the occasional order of dim sum November pretty much counts as my yearly fish consumption quota.

Hello! I’m currently doing some research on beach access across the caribbean for a paper, and i wanted to know about any specific legislation regarding public beach access in Barbados.

I’m currently under the assumption that all beaches are public access but i’m trying to find any laws that specify that, the closest explicit statement i’ve found is in Cap. 394 - Coastal Zone Management, but i wanted to know if i was missing something?

Thank you in advance!!

Hi 👋 We are a group of 25 organising a trip to Barbados in February. We were looking at villas and found this site https://vacayum.com/ - prices seemed to be good to be true but at the same time it seems pretty legit. Does anyone have any experience?

Thank you so much in advance! We cannot wait to visit.

Excited to visit next month, but feeling very nervous about bugs. What is the best insect repellent strategies/products from locals? Particularly concerned about centipedes and mosquitoes

This isnt meant to cause hate or anything but it's a genuine question,as a Bajan it's common to say Good morning/evening what haves you and *most* people will answer back except for tourist imo all the tourist I walk pass and will greet they never seem to ever answer back do they think i'm gonna rob them at gun point or something? Is it a cultural difference I'd really love to know!

As the title says - what phone plans from the US are you using while roaming/studying?

Introducing the Equal Value Movement - Equal Value.

Equal Voice. Equal Responsibility.

I'm introducing a developing civic and diplomatic idea

called the Equal Value Movement.

Its starting principle is simple: every human being has

equal inherent value and dignity, regardless of race,

nationality, wealth, or place of birth.

The movement explores what that principle could mean

for the international system - particularly the reform of

the UN Security Council and the underrepresentation of

Africa and other developing regions.

One proposal I am exploring is the creation of five

additional permanent Security Council seats for

historically underrepresented developing regions, while

recognizing that the African Union already has its own

established position on African representation.

This is not an official UN proposal or an established

organization. It is an idea I am developing and would

like to discuss, criticize, improve, and test with people

from different parts of the world.

The broader question is:

If the world has changed since 1945, should the

institutions governing international peace and security

change with it?

I welcome serious discussion, including disagreement.

Equal Value. Equal Voice. Equal responsibility.

has anyone bought from this ig store? is it legit/reliable?

I noticed when I was in the gap ( and other bars as well tbh) that they all play rock music and cater to English crowd? It’s quite interesting actually, but it feels a little like selling out and a missed opportunity to promote your own culture and artists.

In the morning paper Barbados today. The PM says she wants a data center here. My opinion is absolutely not.

It will raise our already high electric bills.

It will steal our precious fresh water.

It will steal land we need for agriculture.

Have these rich folks go make their own island, they will then understand how precious fresh water is.

Just say NO.

So I was in town by Mustors and the guys down by Parry and Prince William Henry St were taking money for parking in a No Parking zone.

Now correct me if I'm wrong but:

1. These guys have no authority, and

2. If the police wants, they can ticket people parked there

So if you choose to park there and refuse to pay, will those guys not let you park, or harass u if you do or do damage to ur car out of spite? [In Puerto Rico, if u dont pay them to 'watch ur car' they actually damage it and loot it while ur away]

I figure they just fool tourists by appearing to be some kind of parking assistant but if the police roll around, these men disappear and u get ticketed or towed.

Any info you'd like to share about whether my thinking is on point and if scame like this are common?

If theres any other scams you'd like to make us aware of, please let us know.

Hi has anyone used this service from the A1 Supermarkets - Emerald City website? Seems reasonable and convenient.

Thanks!
