A Special Experience Living in a Caribbean Island - Aruba!
Finally arrived at a place where I can speak fluent English! I checked into Andrea and Bella's cozy little nest, Karibu. They are Dutch and have been settled in Aruba for over 20 years. This Dutch overseas territory has a population of only 100,000, yet it's home to over 100 nationalities. In just one night on Palm Beach, I encountered several Filipinos, Colombians, a Surinamese, and several Dutch people! Everyone seems to speak Dutch, English, Spanish, and Papiamento (Aruba's native language).
Aruba's welfare is excellent – healthcare and education are all covered by the government. Of course, it's also very easy to send children to the Netherlands for even better education. Local prices are very high; it's America's backyard, and it's the safest country in the Caribbean, earning the reputation of 'A Happy Country.' They treated me so well, driving me around the island, taking me to all sorts of delicious places!
Day2
I was just unable to get a taxi and was lingering on the side of the road when a car stopped to pick me up; I didn't use my thumb to hail it! The driver is called Salsa, a Colombian, and his English level is basically zero. We went downtown together, and we used everything – we even used 'blah blah blah' – and we couldn't stop laughing ourselves. After getting off the car, the brother insisted on not taking my money. Adios and then we strolled around Oranjestad, Aruba's capital, my mood is as warm as the Caribbean weather todayOne Happy Island Aruba
Day3
Don't misunderstand, this is a wave that reached a historic high, spraying waves from the crevices of the rocks… From now on, you can call me 'Typhoon Prince' Instead of 'Earthquake Prince' I came, Aruba just experienced the highest water level record in 14 years, Mathew hurricane wreaked havoc, just turned around to go to the beach… Don't forget, it's an island completely surrounded by the Caribbean Sea!
Day4
The advantage of living in Palm Beach is that wherever you go is not far; this island is just about walking around; when you meet someone, say 'Aloha' to them. All the hotel beaches are connected, after observing the Ritz Carlton beach in detail, the beach is the best as you move north, the hurricane traces are smaller. It's impossible for islanders not to be happy. But what if a hurricane floods the whole island?
Day5
After playing Seabob with my coach Bob this morning, I threw myself into the Caribbean Sea for the whole afternoon, from Hilton to Ritz Carlton, look for the map, it takes half an hour to walk… Exhausted, I returned to the beach and just happened to witness the Aruba sunset, well, everything is wonderful!
P. S. In Aruba, you can experience this super cool underwater experience of Seabob, little Tian will open a separate chapter to explain it in detail, it's really cool, stay tuned!
