      I imagine it's difficult for someone who hasn't spent significant time living in Trinidad to understand Trinidadian-English, since our population is relatively small, and there isn't the same robustness of resources for non-Trinidadian speakers to learn Trinidadian English as there might be for a standard-English speaker to learn say Spanish or German.

    I went to Trinidad with my girlfriend almost two years ago now. Stayed right in Port of Spain, it wasn't THAT bad we wandered around, met some really nice people, even went downtown to the main market street where we were literally the only white people and it just felt like a busy bustling city. We even met some guys while waiting for the Ferry to Tobago who said they were part of some gang, and gave us tips where to not go and stay away from east city.
    Everywhere you go in the world there will be bad spots and people you don't want to get involved with, you just need to know and follow your gut, obviously going to places like Iraq or Somalia would be dumb, but places with reputations such as this, don't let it fear you.

And another thing; they always lump all the murders together making it seem that all are 'gang' related or drug related when many times they stems from domestic disputes, neighborhood disputes, land disputes, old grievances, minor fallings-out turned fatal, unintentional rum fuelled murders and family squabbles.

    I went this year and had a wonderful time. Perfectly safe. I think there is a huge class divide in T&T. There are all the middle class and wealthy neighborhoods and upscale malls and restaurants, clubs, parties, all the beaches, nature and countryside etc. Then you have the ghettos of Lavantille, Morvant, Sea Lots and Beetham with a totally different environment. Judging the whole of T&T by those areas would be like judging the whole of the USA by its many violent inner cities and meth filled trailer parks.
    T&T is the wealthiest nation in the English Speaking Caribbean because of the oil, gas, manufacturing, trade and finance sectors, it does not even have to depend on tourism like other islands (though it gets lots of visitors for Carnival) but there is deep wealth inequality and corruption. There is also unbridled immigration from other poorer Caribbean islands.

Sometimes patriotism blinds us to the negative aspects of our country the facts speak for themselves ie. Trinidad with 1.5 million people has a higher murder rate than Britain with 62 million people, This year there is already 189 murders and its only the 6th of June, romanticism of our country leads to a denial of reality.

    This is showing one side of Trinidad and Tobago and admittedly it is awful. However, I lived and worked in Wooodbrook for donkey years. As a female, I felt safe walking to and from my office and apartment, even at night. Never had a single incident. My colleagues, friends, old school mates in Blue Range, Cascade, St. Anns, Westmoorings, Trinicity, Palmiste, Sando and Penal, all professionals, family men and women also never had violent run-ins with crime. Minor attempted burglaries and car break-ins which happens even in the US, UK and Canada may happen from time to time.
    Simply put there are TWO Trinidad divided down the middle by class. They don't usually overlap. If you are not living in the depressed areas or are involved in any illegal activity or Government bobal that can lead to being snuffed out, chances are your day goes on with little incident, save the minor misfortunes that could happen anywhere in the world.
    It's like judging all of Chicago by just the South Side or all of LA by Compton, which would be silly.

The fact is the corruption in the government leads to most of the high end crime and drugs. The gangs that fight over block sized territory do so under the watchful eye of local police who turn their eyes when a hit or kidnapping benefits them or their party. It's disgusting to see how the murder rate continues to climb. I have well over 300 family members and friend still living there. I pray for them everyday, just as I do for the entire country. Only international intervention can help us now
