I can't believe it's been almost a year since I last commented in this thread. I was talking with a friend earlier today about Carnival and came on Tuner looking for the old Carnival threads to show her pictures and videos. Imagine my happiness when I saw this thread on the first page of Ole Talk es...

I'm surprised by how dead this thread has become but I want to take that as a sign that those of us who wanted to leave have done so. I am officially out of the great T&T, praise the lord. It's so scary how quickly I have felt at home and how quickly T&T has started to feel like a distance m...

You can have all of that if you choose somewhere like Brazil. Those things are really only a concern if you choose The US, Canada or the UK. Similar to Trinidad, but better economically positioned to weather any crisis. Lower cost of living, and the only thing you're really missing out on is food a...

People overlook the obvious. You will always live hand to mouth if you refuse to budget your money and live on less than you earn. So many people complain about struggling financially while scrolling through Amazon on their iPhones to buy some nonsense they don't really need. In the US they have gre...

Just use your FCB Credit Card and pay it from your savings/chequing account. I don't think I'll be moving back to Trini on a permanent basis, so when whatever is in there is done, then I don't think I'll be continuing the use of their services once I manage to burn through whatever TTD I have remai...

But then yuh mite get gun down in same Publix or Walmart when it have the usual mass shooting or someone decide to kill all the non whites they can find. America is not the answer You sound delusional if you think you have a higher chance of being shot in America vs. T&T but I guess you fell in...

My mind made up years now, all I needed was the factors to align. In 2024, the only time T&T will see me would be to tie up some loose ends.

I think it's a reach but with so many people agreeing they can't be wrong. I think it depends on the crowd you hang out with and the region they are from.

I have never understood the whole sing-songy thing. I don't hear it.

There are some regions in Trinidad where for the life of me I cannot understand what they are saying without asking them to repeat or slow down. I know people try to say it's a grammar thing but there's so much more to it. I think when people/foreigners think of a T&T accent they think of the Ar...

I switched to Nitrogen because the gas station air pumps are too unpredictable and dirty.

The stations I used to use are
Unipet in Upper Santa Cruz close to the chocolate cafe
The big station in Maraval by Maraval police station
The small gas station opposite Ellerslie Plaza

What are your thoughts on owning property locally when living abroad? The older people in my life have been insisting that I would be foolish to not own a property in T&T even though I plan on leaving and never looking back.

How do you guys finance your lives when outside of Trinidad? Is it only with credit cards since US is hard to obtain from the banks? My plan is to use my credit cards for the first month or two but there are a couple of currency exchange places locally where you can get US cash for 8:1 or 9:1 depen...

Customer service in T&T is garbage so on the occasion the rep gets a rude customer I don't feel sorry for them because I'm sure it's built-up frustration finally being let out. Earlier today I made a vow to never spend money on small and medium local businesses ever again. I am fed up with runni...

The 2024 summer Olympic games are being held in Paris with the games scheduled to take place from Fri, Jul 26, 2024 - Sun, Aug 11, 2024.

Just came in to say a man can never and will never be a woman and vice versa. Trying to subdue the natural laws of life and nature will only lead to self-destruction. Pretending to be the opposite sex and diminishing the importance of gender roles are only bandaids for undiagnosed mental illnesses. ...

Logged in to say I support and appreciate your efforts.

Like the others have said, stay safe out there, and if it ever gets too rough, I support you in walking away.

I would summarize and give an example. The culture T&T has held on to is nothing short of laziness, incompetence, and rudeness. Two things I will always value more than money are my time and my safety. In T&T my time is constantly wasted due to the laziness and incompetence of others, and I...

Can you expand on the last point? It may seem obvious but what exactly is causing it? I visited Portugal a couple of times out in the rural farmland areas. One thing that shocked me was that some of their rural government service centres open until 10pm to cater for farmers and laborers who work ti...

Just curious, would anyone move if they were making >30k/month? You will be surprised how many of the "1%" have left in recent years. I am not a "1%" but I make a healthy living and since I decided to start putting my ducks in a row to leave for good, I have saved a large percen...

UPDATE The advice I got from Xplode was 100% correct. So thank you again for that.

I wouldn’t grant a visitor visa to you either with a username like that sir.

Thanks for that laugh. As much as I intend to leave this place for good, the illegal immigrant life is not for me.
