      Jagadeesan my friend, it was an absolute pleasure meeting you! Thanks for all the tips you provided then and for the additional information you provided in this post. That arepa is one of the best things I've eaten on all my travels! Glad you're enjoying these videos on Curacao, I have a few more coming so watch out for those :)

    I just discovered the vlogs you made in Curaçao some time ago and enjoyed these a lot. At minute 37 in this video, you were wondering who this gentleman was and why this engraving was located there. Alfredo Capello Sr. was my father and he was a successful businessman in Otrobanda. He was also one of the pioneers in organizing and uniting the other businessmen and women in Otrobanda. As written on the engraving, he died in June 1992 and before that for a long time had been the owner of a small-scale department store called "La Bonanza." It was located in that building but the business went south and had to close forever in April 2005. 😪

      Thank you so much for your kind words and for providing the information about your father! It is wonderful that Willemstad and Curaçao honour and celebrate him in this way. The hospitality and friendliness of the locals stood out for me on my trip there, and I'm pleased that I had the opportunity to visit. Danki!

    A fascinating tour, Willie. Thank you! It seems the island is such a confusion of languages and currencies, too. I always admire people who are so multilingual and effortlessly switch from one to another!

      Nice one Andy! This really was a nice day of travelling. Glad you enjoyed it! Yep, most of the locals speak four languages. You can use US Dollar anywhere in Curacao but change is mostly given in the local currency.

    Not sure what those pink trees are, but they had them all over Argentina and Uruguay as well, very beautiful. The coloured buildings are also very nice. Atlantic Canada has some places that do the same, but I've always liked the diverse colours of these regions.

    • @willieexplore
      @willieexplore  Год назад +1

      Loved all the variety of colours in these cities / towns re the buildings. I still wonder what makes someone pick a particular colour over another. As for the pink trees, good question! Maybe someone can help us out in the comments

    Such a beautiful place, Willie. Even the more run down buildings had character with all the colour and the plants. Interesting fact about the sun glare too. The hotel and the food looked very nice. Hope the gentleman was lucky with the lotto 😊.

    • @willieexplore
      @willieexplore  Год назад +1

      Thanks Sheila, I really hope those numbers brought him luck! The sun glare fact is fascinating for me, not least because of South Africa's Dutch colonial past where most of the colonial buildings are white. And let's not forget the colourful clothes in the shops too! Cheers for watching, as always

      I imagine the way people speak Dutch there sounds a little like Afrikaans, too, but I wouldn't know...haven't been to that part of the Caribbean yet. Anyway many thanks for sharing your videos. I've enjoyed the ones I've seen.
