6. Friendly People
Everywhere you go in Barbados you are likely to be greeted by “good morning”, “good afternoon” or “good night” depending on the time of day. Barbadians are an inherently friendly and polite people. This is good news for persons relocating to Barbados as friendships can be quite easily formed with locals and fellow expatriates alike.
7. Bustling Nightlife
St. Lawrence Gap, Barbados
For a country of only 166 square miles, Barbados has an extremely active nightlife with hundreds of pubs, clubs and restaurants spread across its eleven parishes. The main concentration of nightclubs can be found in and around St. Lawrence Gap where highlights include Ol’ Jamm Inn and The Cove Night Club. Other favourite night time activities include historic dinner shows and romantic cruises.
8. Colourful Language
The official language of Barbados is English. However, for the uninitiated, the engaging lilt of the Barbadian tongue can be difficult to decipher at first. Don’t worry – soon you’ll become familiar with the nuances and phrases such as “Wha gine on” (Translation: How are you?) will quickly become mainstays in your vocabulary.
