Observations on Video Gaming and Reflections on Life in Trinidad, W.I.

Noticed there is an admin on Kotaku's Talk Among Yourselves (TAY) section called Zarnyx. She has quite a few articles related to gaming, this one stood out to me, about one of her visits back to Trinidad. I left a comment and a link back to GATT of course
http://tay.kotaku.com/observations-on-video-gaming-and-reflections-on-life-in-1207347341
With its ice-cream coloured houses, congested highways and local roads, higher food prices, the scattered produce with all manners of tropical fruit, and live animal stands for your fresh goat’s meat lining the country roads; there are many ways in which life in Trinidad has remained the same but in so many ways, it has changed significantly. The changes are glaring and evolving with every new visit and I think my sister said it best when she remarked that it’s as viewing the country with a different pair of eyes every single time.
I’ve been far removed from the country of my birth for quite the while. Visiting only for weddings and funerals; the weddings are just about exhausted among our circle of friends and so our trips back to the island these days means that there’s one member of my family that I have to say farewell to. These trips are always tiresome as they’re usually unexpected and rushed. This time I went in with a new perspective being a little bit older and a little bit wiser.

Yeah, I really did like seeing a spotlight shone on our part of the world. Living abroad really gives persons the opportunity to either conform to stereotypes or break them, and believe me when I say there are many misconceptions about us here in Canada despite the hordes of Trinidadians living here. Always nice to see us represented positively in the global arena.
