    Thank you. Love your take on Dominica. No place is perfect but you cannot measure the sense of warmth and welcoming the average Dominican you encounter gives. The sense of peace and tranquility you experience cannot be measured. Unfortunately, Once you get ensnared in any politics, Dominica or elsewhere, there’s always a deep sense of disappointment among the opposition group and their followers.

    I grew up in the heart of Roseau CENTRAL near Graphics in the MIX on kings lane….yes I still slept when it had parties. Back then it had more sewos and more people participating on the road. 😅. Jouvert morning back then at least six lapo kabwit on road before the bands come over the bridge. It also had lots of block parties. So you are right here. I think you are not correct about church. Maybe it’s new age young generation but I always thought Dominicans were way too religious and to churchy. I grew up going church every Sunday, don’t forget Saturday choir and then maybe go church with my grandmother on the previous Friday. Even if it looks they don’t go to church they believe in god and doing good. See you notice how welcoming, kind and generous Dominicans are so they are godly.

    It’s very interesting to hear your perspective. I have a completely different experience with some of your points. Like people stopping to give you a ride - as you said, it is mostly men. That is because you are a woman. In my experience men will stop for women more as an opportunity to flirt and solicit for sex ( i have had many such experiences, including from bus drivers, and saved up for a vehicle to avoid these encounters). And I find absolutely no consideration for road safety for pedestrians and a general poor road safety with high incidents of accidents on poorly maintained roads. Also, most fresh food crop in Dominica is NOT organic and farmers abuse chemical fertilizers and there is no government enforcement and regulation on these matters. The grocery stores are also filled with horrible heavy preservative and additive foods and very little fresh produce (most of which are not organic). But this is a beautiful island and worth investing in - even if just to change some of the gross negatives that spoil the beauty of the island.

    You don’t address the criticisms we face here in Dominica-such as the lack of jobs. Foreigners may work without being paid, or they are paid very low wages. For example, on Monday, which was a public holiday, I went to Roseau to pick up some things for my home. Nobody would stop to give me a ride home, so I had to walk under the sun. This has happened countless times. Dominicans are not friendly, let alone welcoming.
