Curaçao


Have you been feeling like your world is losing color, or the more you look around the duller and greyer everything is? Curaçao is known for its vivid, eye-catching colors and warm weather all year round. The Dutch origin from this island is what makes it such a vibrant and all-around amazing place to visit, whether you’re planning to visit for a short period of time or weeks long vacation with your family. If the sound of the beautiful scenery doesn’t quite catch your attention maybe the famous Curaçao Sea Aquarium will. Something you don’t see anywhere is an aquarium with an open water system which allows open sea water to flow inside and help make their habitat as natural as possible. Maybe you want to see a sea lion face to face, you just won’t know until you’re there or go swimming with sharks and feed some pink flamingos right after. Overall the Curaçao Sea Aquarium will leave an unforgettable experience and that’s just a plus when talking about the culture this Island brings. You can walk around anywhere, and the music playing is certain to uplift your mood and make your day 10x better. Curaçao is home to many talented musical artist such as Frank Martinis Arion I wouldn’t be surprised though, with such relaxing setting on this island you’re certain to forget about your worries and live in the moment. So now picture this; you’re at Playa Lagun- a beach as pretty as a picture known for its rocky cliffs and fresh blue sea to go snorkeling with sea turtles, and on your right you have a plate of fresh traditional Dutch bitterballen which are flavorful meatballs. It obviously is not complete with out the music, the mix of culture is so easy to hear within all the genres of music just makes you want to get up and dance. Its your call.

    I must say you have a talent for creating imagery. I also appreciate the cute turtle picture. I only have one recommendation which would be to separate your paragraphs. I never realized it with my own writing but reading this makes me realize that it kind of feels like an essay. However, reading this, I could tell you were comfortable and it felt like you were speaking to me directly. So over all it was a great post, I would just space it out a little.

  Saba Island is an overseas territory of the Netherlands. With a population of about 1, 900 people and a land area of about 13 square kilometers, it is the smallest island territory in the Caribbean.  The first people to conquered Saba were Englishmen whose shipwreck landed in Saba in 1632(Virtual Caribbean).  By 1635, Frenchmen had claimed the island and Saba came under the rule of Louis XIII of France.

Just like mentioned in class its like having a conversation with an audience instead of writing a formal paper, which is why I enjoy using this platform for this class. I could definitely work on my grammar, its not the worse but a couple of typos sometimes slide here and there but I still go back and fix them if I spot them. Its hard to catch them when I proof read because I do so in a hurry which has improved... I think. At first I would have problems with layout and how sources should be labeled along with pictures, but I started getting the hang of it and minor problems trying to get my post to meet word count was stressful but as I go with the flow it gets easier. My best effort is put in to everything I do, it might not look like it but I would rather take time trying to improve and enjoy it rather t...
