    I've been to Trinidad, the food is the best food I've ever had and the people are extremely nice, I'm 28yrs old now but when I get old and it's time to retire, I want to spend my last golden yrs there. I fell in love with the Island, the people and the food. Trinidad & Tobago has a special place in my heart. I plan on building a house there so I'll have somewhere to live when I move there.

    I experienced the lake two years ago and indeed its a wonder, God is really the chief architect of His Creation. The Lake is a living Womb of Creation rather than Water it produces the Stuff for roads and roofs and other products.

    Someone should be bottling this methane! You can sell methane like gas or natural gas it’s energy! You guys can make a fortune from the methane alone then you process your Asphalt and export it! You will NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MONEY ANYMORE! YOU HAVE A BLESSING NOT A TRAGEDY! 😏🖖🏼❤️🇺🇸
