AH FIND SO!

  But while we on de Olympics. All yuh had check out de opening ceremonies;
ah mean before de opera and de lighting of de torch ting (which was in itself
spectacular). Ah mean de part wit' Hercules and de ship and all dem structures
and costumes. For those who didn't know, it was a T&T Carnival costume 
designer - Peter Minshell(sp.) who designed the entire production. Those
familiar with Minshell's designs would recognise it as typical Minshell. It
was all de same a fabulous display. I have tuh say it was a proud moment for 
T&T. (Doh mind we eh get no medals in de dam ting!). BTW, de only name 
mention throughout de dam ting was some US choreographer whose work had some 
resemblance to routine. Cheups!!! What yuh tink 'bout dat?!!!!

I have regularly found a few soca cd's at Tower Records, both here on Long
Island and in New York City.  I even saw a couple in a music store in Grenoble,
France (Arrow, I think) recently.  Most records are with various stores in
Brooklyn, etc, such as Strikers, J&W, Charlies Records.  They might do mail or
phone orders.  Try looking for stores with Reggae sections, or "world music",
they often throw the Soca in with that.  Good Luck.

When I see messages like these it makes me feel like I'm living in 
Timbuktu :(  I've been carrying around a list of 'good soca music' for
about three months now.  
They include:

SuperBlue
Second Imij
Crazy
Iwer George
Rikki Jai
David Rudder 
Black Stalin
Taxi
Atlantic, etc, etc.

Yet, I have NOT been able to find a single record of these people in the 
stores down here :(  Mind you, I live in California U.S.A.  Just last night 
I was at Wherehouse Record looking for soca.  I found ONE, yes, ONE.  It 
said "Taxi Connection" in London, seemed like something old.  BTW, this was

Oh, and I asked the guy at the front desk if he knows anything about Soca.

I'm not sure if Oliver will be a regular.  We'll have to wait and see.
According to some interviews I saw the producers put a lot of effort into
making it Authentic.  e.g. the cast spent some time living in JA.

I guess you meant 'if the USA is NOT involved... anyway, let's face it man,
the USA is interested in the USA period.  

For example, if a horse breaks a leg at one of the Derbies they hold here, I 
can guarantee you it would get more coverage, or perhaps ONLY that would get
coverage, than, say, a bus going over a cliff killing ten people in India.
Mind you, the horse only broke a leg :(  I think this is sad, but true.
But there's a bright side to this.  It was worse, say, ten years ago :)

On the other hand, you can't really blame them.  They broadcast what sells. 
So we can't blame only the producers (TV), but the consumers (the american 
public)

I just read on rec.travel that the US government has issued a
travel advisory for the Bahamas suggesting that people defer travel
because of "suppply shortages" and "travel problems." At the end of
this notice they listed the phone number of the US embassy in Nassau
to call with questions.

So I called the US embassy and asked them why the advisory.
They said they couldn't think of a reason for one, that everything
was fine everywhere except north Eleuthera, and that no one had
asked them whether the advisory was needed.

Typical. The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing,
and the US governmetn just goes ahead to make the economic damage
from the hurricane worse by scaring people away.

Yeah, it was great!  Best music I've ever heard on a network TV show!

I heard "Funky Kingston" (Toots), "Pressure Drop" (Toots) and some Peter Tosh
among other tunes in the background.  Maybe by season's end, they'll be up
to Shabba Ranks :-).

I don't see the reason for calling the island "Jantique", why didn't they
just come out and say Jamaica.

Hello everyone,

I hope it is o. k. to post this question in this newsgroup. At the 7th of
september I will travel for 3 weeks to the Dominican Republic. I only made
a hotel reservation for the first week in the north of the country, then I
will travel around. Maybe I can get some advices for some interesting
places to visit and some good places to stay overnight ( not to expensive,
but not much comfort needed), ore you have some general information about
country and people for me one should know.

Thanks in advance

	The death toll was up to 13 yesterday; I think most of the damage was
in the northern islands (from Andros to Abaco). But the news have definitely

Having to learn that Canadians live in provinces and not States?
And that not all Canadians put "eh?" at the end of each sentence?

The list goes on.... :-)

For the humour impaired: yet another one, :-)

Though I note that I have not met a person with a Canadian flag on their
backpack but going under an American passport. 

But on the other hand, it has been rare that I have seen an American flag on
a backpack.

Now that I actually think about it: a large portion of identifying flags that
I have seen recently on backpacks (or what not) have been Canadian, followed
by Australian and New Zealand. But I guess there are not that many other
foreigners, than the above mentioned ones, around here.
