      Lady Love The only time I’ve ever heard “mountain chicken” is when people refer to eating frogs. Just like “mountain oysters” are really bull testicles that some people eat. I looked online & it is what I thought: frogs. Here’s the link: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptodactylus_fallax

      Minecraftnewplayer Are you dumb? He has realized his mistake and he said that on his comment and do not assume anyone american if they make mistakes on geography. Not all americans are dumb or fat! You also spelled "dumb" wrong, geez. You minecraft kids not only disrespect other's opinion but judge them for their mistakes even when they have realized and admitted that he had made a mistake. Before judging people's mistakes, you need to think again because you're making a mistake being in the part of a cancerous fanbase.

      Why should most of the Americans have any knowledge about the Commonwealth of Dominica it was one smallest both geographically and demographically nations in the world. Most of the world population even don't know that the anglophone Dominica exits. Plus there over 1.873 million (2015) Dominican-Americans/Dominican Republic so the hispanophone country would be more known in the United States.

    This small island holds a special place in my heart. I volunteered to help rebuild one of the churches that got destroyed in Hurricane Maria, and I immediately fell in love with the beautiful terrain, the extremely friendly people, the coral reefs, and the bread. One does not go to Dominica without trying the bread. It’s amazing.

But if one day they do become their own country then i will have problem with them using my country's language as their official language. They should be like Koreans, in the old time korean's official language was chinese, but then they wanted to have their own culture so they created nowadays known as korean and made it as their country's official language.

    Very nice! You actually pronounced the island's name right, and most everthing else. The only mistake I caught was at 2:09, you said that Dominica is NOT part of the commonwealth, that it is a republic. Correction: The island is part of the commonwealth, hence the official name of the island: The Commonwealth of Dominica.

      @warro35 5 лет назад +3

      Sasha Saiko Brie is correct. Dominica may take part in commonwealth but we are no considered as par of the Commonwealth realm something i found out after the passing of hurricane maria. The British were evacuating their citizens and there were 3 persons who had not got on the liat flight and needed to get to Barbados where the brits were going to. They took the Bajan and the Lucian but left the Dominican lady back. Reason given my the commander was Dominica is not a commonwealth country. According to him they were only permitted to airlift Dominicans if it was a medical emergency case. This is not hear say since I approached him with the request for the 3 individuals.

    I'm Haitian and I had a friend from Dominica in High School and we became friend because I didn't speak english He was the only person that I was able to speak with In my Geology class cause he spoke Dominican Kweyol and I speak Haitian Kreyol. There was a lot of difference in our creoles but I understood him better than he did because I speak french too so I kinda know where the different words he used originate. But he spoke English as his other language so I would have to explain some of my creole words to him.

    I got to visit Dominica this summer and I loved it! I stayed on a sustainable farm in the interior, near Rosalie Bay and got to work closely with NET, and ended my trip in Portsmouth staying in a cute little cabin right on the beach! I was doing a Sea Turtles studies class and got to participate in a leather back nest excavation.
    The people were all lovely, happy to stop and chat. I actually got a chance to talk to someone who really enjoyed eating sea turtle eggs! It was very very interesting to hear his perspective as someone who is very very interested in conserving and protecting sea turtles!
    I did all the big things like visiting the Emerald Pool, Middleham Falls, and the Boiling Lake which were all stunning and well worth all the hiking and long drives over bumpy roads. We also went whale watching, did a tour of the Indian River, and got to snorkel the Champagne Reef!
    I wish I could go back and do all the things I didn't get to do in Dominica!
