Trinidad and Tobago

Welcome to my page about Trinidad and Tobago. I am a Trinidadian and I felt that it is mandatory that I have a page about my country.

Trinidad and Tobago are the most southern islands in the Caribbean, located a mere seven miles off the north eastern coast of Venezuela. Trinidad is approximately 185 square miles and Tobago 116 square miles. The climate on these islands is warm, sunny all year round. There are two main seasons, the dry season from January to May and the rainy season from June to December.

We are a real melting pot. About 40% of the population is of Indian descendants, with a little less being of African descendants. Then most of the rest is mixed race with some Syrians, Chinese and a few 'white' Trinidadians.

Trinidad and Tobago is rich in culture such as Carnival and Calypso Music and Natural Resources such as Oil and Pitch. It is recorded to be the country where Steel Pan and Calypso was originally developed.

I found these awesome YouTube videos about trini food and with each video, there is a little introduction about the island, its people and culture. I hope you enjoy them much as I did. I felt a little home sick after watching these videos.
