Today I was thinking of learning some more about the country itself, and the people. I`m a bit curious of me so, I looked up Barbados before I left on wikipedia (not the best source, I know...). One of the things I wanted to know, was why they speak english here. The reason is that in the 16th century barbados was under the british rule, they were working as slaves for plantation owners.
I had decided that today I was going to go into Barbados capital, Bridgetown.
When I arrive in Bridgetown, the city is full of life, and a lot of music and people trying to sell things everywhere!
I also saw some church, because you see, in barbados 95% of the people who live here is christian.
Just resently there had been a parade here on Barbados, which have been called "Remembering our fallen" by the newspaper Advocate.
Some places in the city you could see their flag.

Above is one of the songs, that you could hear around the city. Typical Barbados music.
Rihanna was often played in the shops all around, so you could hear they were proud of their world famous star.
I was walking around the city the whole day and having lots of fun, this place is really full of life and fun people.
