What do expats in Port of Spain appreciate most about the local culture?

We asked expats and digital nomads what they appreciate the most about the local culture in Port of Spain. They wrote...

"I love the tropical weather. We live near the bay, and I love to watch the birds and ships go in and out. The Trinis are a happy, fun-loving, music-addicted culture - people burst into song in the grocery, always have time to chat and spare a laugh. Social life is very family-oriented, though, and while many Trinis are friendly on the surface, getting to know them more deeply isn't the norm. They tend to socialize with their own extended families. I have yet to be invited to a Trini's house for dinner that wasn't a business function, although I've had them over. Ex-pats socialize with each other, though," explained one expat living in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago.
