Welcome to Inspired Life Sounds where we give you the best of Barbados and all of its hidden treasures. Today we're telling you to do not subbarbeads, so if you'd like to learn more, stay tuned. Number one, do not wear camouflage. Camouflage is actually illegal to wear in Barbados. Camouflage resembles the uniform of the defense force of Barbados, thus it is illegal. And they will tell you to take it off. Yes, they will. Number two, do not touch, eat or sit under a Manjella tree. It is one of the most poisonous trees on earth, even to stand under the tree during rain can be hazardous. The water dripping down on you, that alone can blister at the skin. So no touching, no feeling, no looking, yeah, no, you can look. Number three, do not sit under a coconut tree. Yes, this is correct. Why? Cognites start in little bundles of tiny little coconuts altogether. As they grow, there's not as much room and some of them are pushed out by their fellow brothers. Seems simple, it's not deadly, but imagine a coconut dropping from 40 feet above onto your head. Number four, do not go swimming on east coast of Barbados. Despite the beautiful beaches, the on the currents are very strong. Do asalouco, which are the safer beaches that are actually usable for swimming. Number five, do not underestimate the power of a rum punch. One is good, two is fine, three you are gone. The main ingredients of rum punch, of course, is rum, some lime, lots of sugar, syrup, smelly, and a little splash of nutmeg. But it can be dangerous. Number six, guys, do not go sunbathing topless on the beaches of Barbados. Public nudity is actually against the law. It may seem fine in other places, but it's frowned upon here in Barbados. Number seven, please guys, do not disturb a nesting turtle. If you see a turtle on the beach, and she's going into the sun era, she's trying to nest. If you disturb her, she will not nest, and she will return to the water without completing. In addition to being illegal, you may injure a turtle or cause her to leave a full finish nesting. Do not use your camera light when taking photos, preferably, just let her do her thing and continue the cycle of life. If you do see a sea turtle nesting, do call the sea turtle project. The number is right here. They will not exactly watch you. Number eight, do not forget to put on mosquito repellent. If you've come to the tropics, guys, and there will be mosquitoes around, and he's nested a lot of others, they do love to suck on some sugary blood. And does not make sense. But you understand. Number nine, do not light thorn fires on the beach. As tempting as it is to light fire, sick by the ocean, enjoy a good drink. It is actually thrown upon in Barbados. One good reason is imagine there are these lovely little nest intervals on the deafboard you've created. Now imagine you just cooked all those eggs. Keep that in mind. Number 10, do not step on sea urchin. While enjoying the low types of our beautiful beaches, you get the opportunity to see some the most amazing little creatures starfish and including sea urchins. It can cause a hell of a lot of pain. So let's avoid getting pain on your vacation. Yeah. Number 11, do not go snarkling our diving without a marker. On our popular beaches, there are locks of water sports and water crafts on the water. Anyone who makes snarkling our scuba diving away from the shores should do so with an inflatable marker that is clearly visible for all forms of water craft to see you. Let's enjoy the ocean, but let's do it safely. Number 12, do not forget, read right on the left side of the road. Recall little Britain for a reason, you know. So guys, take some time to accomit yourself with the new side of the road before you hire a card and go zip in through Barbados. Number 13, do not litter while in Barbados. Do not litter while on vacation in Barbados. Let's keep these beautiful beaches clean yet. Number 14, do not take photos or videos of locals without their permission. I'm telling you this for my experience as a creative, they do not take well to it. All you have to do is simply ask and they are willing to oblige. Number 15, do not come to Barbados and not get a chance to try some of our local food. What I would recommend is you try the Oysters Fish Fry on Fridays. There I'm sure you'll find some manner of local food that fits your palette. Number 16, do not expect to get much done on a Sunday. Most places are closed for business on a Sunday. There are a couple of places, gas stations will be open, a couple of convenient stores, some some markets will be open half day at least. But it is considered the rest day of Barbados. Number 17, this goes back with number 16. Do not expect things to run on time. You are in the Caribbean and in particular Barbados where everything goes at an almost snail pace. So don't stress your on vacation, enjoy and relax. Number 18, do not come here and do not wear your sunscreen. It is a must. Barbados is literally on the equator. We are the closest to the sun people. You've got to protect your skin. Evil locals need to do it. Number 19, do not go hiking without being prepared. Always have the correct shoes. Make sure they're in close to protect your feet from rocky hiking and the weather. Walk with water, stay hydrated, sunglasses, hat and breathable clothing. Enjoy it, but of course be prepared. Going back with number 18, do not bring a lot of leather to Barbados. The hot, humid and tropical climates of Barbados do not do well for your shoes, bags and belts and leather. You will get a pretty surprise and it flicks when you check them again. Number 21, do not expect to get the 2-1 currency of US to Barbados dollar. In relaxed and informal situations, the currency of US $1 to Barbados $2 will work, but in larger companies, the currency exchange at the time is what you will be paying for. Number 22, do not expect any transistor when used to private taxis here in Barbados. This bug, the international status of distance equaling to the amount of money used or time here in Barbados. Taxi guys have a bit of sway in how much they charge you, so niggle shit before you get in that taxi. Number 23, do not be afraid to eat the dolphin. Just kidding guys, it's not flipper, it's actually called mahi mahi, it's kind of a stick-like fish and it tastes wooo! Number 24, do not expect to get dinner after 930. Most restaurants in Barbados, the kitchen is closed at 10 pm, so get in the reservoir, get that food, relax and enjoy the ambiance. Last and strangely least, do not flaunt your homosexuality. I was a little hesitant to sleep this one on the do not list, but I'm still going to put it out there. Barbados is coming up times, but we do have a very strong Christian base and some very strong attitudes. This climber, I am not in a great place with this, I'm just letting you guys know, have her fun enjoy Barbados, but take a consideration, we are a little bit behind on accepting new culture. Okay guys, hope you enjoyed that, 25 things not to do in Barbados, just as a little side note. Hope you enjoyed, don't forget to like and subscribe and I am happy to see your comments, I know you can get a lot of them without number 25, but of course that's okay, so I will see you in the next one.
