Trinidad is a very nice country and also rich cause they import oil to other nations.

That last photo looks like it could well have been taken from a location in any major world city one could name. Impressive.
Maybe I'm engaging in a bit of hyperbole, but that's a big city photo right there!

Really nice! I like those pictures.

No hyperbole. Port-of-Spain is developing by leaps and bounds, and it looks better than many other cities that are much bigger.

Ya their developping by leaps and bounds while crime is rampant corruption is at every corner. trinidad needs to wake uo and realize devolping a nation is not found within tall structures or what is carved in stone monuments, but rather what is found in the people. Building ALWAYS starts with the foundation, not vice versa!

Sorry had to say it

sTILL LOVE TT tho

The government gets a lot of the blame for the situation in Trinidad, and while this is definately and easily justifiable, the people need to realise that the government is not responsible for their actions. The trini concept of 'd goverment' wiping everyones *** is tired and needs to go. Just wanted to put my 2 cents in. Anyway, I would love to see a few night shots with the Academy open

I mean can anyone tell me how crim is holding up in Downtown POS. to be specific
Woodford sqaure and area
Savanah and area
Waterfront/independence square area

Especially at night?? how are crim levels are people out in these areas at night or is it abandoned out of fear for crime?

Just really interested in the actual street life at night

I was home between April and August this year and these areas are usually quite busy at night. The crime will obviously deter some people but to no drastic effect (as of yet). People really seem to enjoy the waterfront and a busy waterfront park is a common sight into the evening (weekends even more so). Woodfors square busy as ever (got lots of jerk chicken n what not down there). People lime and run around the savannah like always, and big night clubs like zen , 51 and katalyst are all in the area (meaning that the young and young-at-heart are all about). Cipriani blvd (home of 51 etc.) and Keate St (home of zen) are almost always busy well into the wee hours. Tragarete Rd and Ariapita Ave are also constantly bustling. The crime situation in Trinidad is bad, but it does get blown way out of proportion sometimes. Trinidad is not some collapsing state, as many in the older generation (who can't be gone soon enough) claim, but a young nation in a turbulent adolescence. After adolescence comes maturity (if my generation has anything to say about it). (I'm not implying that these are your views in any way, just wanted to share my thoughts.)

Thanks alot for clairing that up!!! i dont beleive trinidad is collapsing but i still think it needs to get its priorities in line from government down. I mean a new centre for performin arts is nice. but wat is it when down the street u have a delapidated hospital?? i mean it seems all these buildings are going up for "show" (CHOGM 2009). i mean yes skyline is important and nice to have but when litter is on the road, floods are often and there are more prominent things at hand maybe a arts centre isnt exactly what they need. and has trinidad changed its ways??? look at mt hope, the red house... all these were beautiful at ONE POINT but where is the maintainance??? nothing will stay neww forever!!
since you were there this summer has the renovations on the Mag Seven or Red house progressed any???

I love trindad to my core but if they are going for developped its not with their buildings and flashy lights its in the basics and foundementals.

Just my opinion

[Darkdd]

I think red house was done, qrc was finishing up and I can only recall Stollmeyers getting under way (dont think I saw much of the others). I definitely agree with the 'skyline' comments. I mean, I wouldnt be on here if I didn't like to see all the new buildings etc., but the money priorities for the govt are certainly out of whack. Put some billions into a strong healthcare system etc. and it will go a long way if handled properly (<- whole other story ). As a side, the side note, the difference in public transport between now and just a few years ago is staggering. Big, proper buses abound, and the tobago boat and water taxis are VERY highly utilised. Their serious about the roads too (the new interchange is like a slingshot into chaguanas haha). One step at a time I guess.
