🤣🤣🤣🤣...
As a "True Trini"..
I fully approve of this segment!!
" 🇹🇹 TRINI 2 D BONE!! 🇹🇹
LOVE & BLESSINGS, from Sweet T & T!!
It is very refreshing to hear our island spoken about in a positive light. I believe sometimes because of the many struggles we are faced with on a daily basic we forget how blessed we truly are as a twin island republic.
Great for Fox to report on the the Trinidad and Tobago Embassies in DC with a focus on the culture which shaped our culture featuring Carnival and the steelpan etc.
I laughed myself "It's working" and his head not his waist. 😂😂😂❤ Come to 🇹🇹 we will give u lessons. Nice piece!! Our Attaché represented our culture well🎉🎉🎉
They make the best Roti and Curry Goat !
👀 ENT??!!
My father was a steel band player. I love the music.
This was delightful! I love Trinidad and Steve.
THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!!!!!!
Trinidad and Tobago steel pan calypso soca rapso parang chuney soca bautiful music 🇨🇦🇹🇹👍👍
Big up T&T one time!
Proud to be Trini!❤❤
“It’s working!” I love this so much 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Love in d Trini house🎉🥳🇹🇹🥂
Great segment, and I am a Proud Trini, living in Houston, Tx. Trini 2 D bone 🇹🇹. Sweet T n T…
Yayyyy trinidad 🇹🇹
So Trinidad took "the Oil Industry's trash and made it a National treasure". I quite like 'pan' sound. 😄🤗🌴
So wonderful you featured the T&T embassy. And it’s “steel pan” not “steel drum” (you mostly said it correctly) and it’s “Carnival” not “Carnivale”
A lot of negative's here! WOW. Still very proud of my country. Trinidadian "Forever"❤.
I hope u live in Trinidad 🇹🇹
Beautiful beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
Home sweet home 🇹🇹
May God bless our nation 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. I just came from a video on Jamaica and all the Jamaicans in the comment section just spreading national pride and positivity not harping about their social and economic issues which are MANY. Jamaican tourism is BOOMING despite their issues because they understand, time and PLACE for everything.
Trinis or rather "certain" Trinis love to bad mouth their country on every given international forum. They come on videos we all feel pride in to spread negativity. They come on videos where Trinbagonians are receiving international awards or praise to spread negativity. They come on videos where cultural or food or history explorers are having a wonderful time in our country, just to bad talk Trinidad and Tobago. I have even seen videos of travel vloggers who have come to Trinidad and Tobago from the USA, UK, Canada, Germany and Denmark and had a WONDERFUL time and these "certain" Trinis will still come into the comment sections to bad talk our country and tell people not to come here.
The time and place for plain talk about our problems are the op-eds in our local newspapers, call-in programs on the radio, the town halls and community gatherings, the schools, and especially face-to-face with the politicians and businessmen responsible for social and economic policies that are failing the country. Talk with your vote and your dollars. Volunteer in your community. Start an NGO.
But when we are shining on the world stage and being praised and elevated as a nation, just hush nah. Let some light and positivity shine unblemished for ONCE!
Jamaica could hdmc.
Certain trinis is who exactly?
The time for plain talk is everytime, it seems unless international 'shame' don't come to us nothing happens.
Did the newspapers, did the face-to-face (told them - you can't hate people and be in politics) in my own yard.
Outside the east-west corridor self help is the only help.
Is all love sis but you can't 'hush nah' nobody, sorry but you can't. If they're citizens let them express freely.
Stay positive, big up yourself (off topic: Thomas Sankara was killed by his best friend).
Morning Fox 5 from Trinidad and Tobago
Beautiful 🇹🇹
Goosshhh I wanna book a ticket home NOW! 🇹🇹🇹🇹
People its a wonderful country to come and visit. GREAT FOOD, BEACHES, SITES and liming (hangout) spots. Crime maybe on the rise but still safe enough for visitors. The leaders in the country are the worst but the people are great and friendly.
I would advise anyone to go to Trinidad and Tobago. You would have a great experience.
Adam you fuh real you would really advice people to come to Trinidad, but Great is the PNM
Stop inviting people to come here, its getting more dangerous everyday. We are stuck with 2 race based political parties that thrive on division.
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 i’m from Trinidadian🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
T&T is life 🎉😊🎉🇹🇹
I have love for 🇹🇹 I never been there my wish make friends from 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Trinidad my home ❤
Ohhhh! I want to visit! ❤
You should probably wait, crime is incredibly high and the incompetence of our government is destroying the country. 2026 or 2027 might be a better time hopefully
@@lxrdvader2021 Jamaica 🇯🇲 has the highest crime rate of any Caribbean nation but millions still visit there each year ,so what makes TNT that different? If you mind your own business,as a tourist one will have a great stay …there is crime everywhere you go.
@@dotishboy oh gosh man…. lol, I hope he drink water and mind he business after that one.
Thanks for sharing my beautiful twin Island home 🇹🇹.
Trinidad is going quite down hill with crime running rampant, corruption, high food prices etc.
Many might get angry with me but Trini's love it so..
You are going downhill. Sit down and stop tarnishing our Country. Crime is everywhere, look at the news!
True
My home🇹🇹 Gr8 interview

Just wonderful.
Best Caribbean island within the Caribbean ❤
Lol
Nah, that's Grenada.
Excellent presentation! He played well!
Can't wait to be there Tues 🥰
Wow
It was very disingenuous of the minister to tell the world that Trinidad & Tobago doesn’t have national dishes. I was born in Trinidad and schooled in Trinidad and I was thought by the educational system that the national dishes of Trinidad is “Coo Coo , crabs in Calaloo and pigeon pies pelau. I was also taught that Tobago’s national dishes is “ Crab curried with cassava dumplings and Coconut bakes with buljol. I noticed that there’s a trend with certain Trinidadians to implement as the national dishes “ street foods “ in which are not considered balanced diets. The country must keep its national dishes apart from traditional street foods. Thank you!
Trinidad is a beautiful country, but the crime rate is rampant.
Great interview!!
Proud
Trini to the bone
Hello, the embassy seems to be so different from the High Commission in London it’s nothing as you saw in this clip.
Love this..
Trinidad isn't only about carnival and wasting time we have a lot of temples for spiritual development
Stuepes 🙄
Clearly they are marketing carnival
Love my twin island of Trinidad and Tobago good people and good food for sure 🇹🇹🇹🇹💯
Well done 🎉
Unfortunately T&T is not this sweet and safe anymore.
True, as a child we literally had no fear of anything, now not so much
@@beyourself2444 yup…
Again.....I expected nothing less from you.
Wrong time, wrong place....!!!!!
@@andrehenry3842 and I expected nothing less from you too. Upset with the facts ??
Is that where Tobago 🇹🇹 sauce is made?
My daughter in law family is from there here daughter was born with baby blue eyes and my grandson was born with hazel
Love it ❤
when u come to trinidad you wont want to leave and the food ohh my god
That’s a cool event
The Trinidad embassy doesn't know its own culture ..half of the rich culture was left out ..as usual...we not only about carnival and steel pan..we have the best carnival in the world ...BUT....
@A Samm.... Are you aware of what editing is, and time constraints on television and finally advertising/advertisers/sponsorship for a featured piece?
Please tell me why Trinbagogians love to complain about everything?
Consider the time constraints.
👏
I see you Shermica! Love and blessings always for Soka Tribe!
0:55 '5 and 6'? And I thought I was special for having a mix of 4 😭
I was scratching my head too. I guess a blend of 6 could possibly be a mixture of African, Asian (Chinese) , Caucasian, South East Asian (East Indian), Syrian and Taino/Kalinago.
@@lizabetx483 south asian (east indian)*
This woman tell the world we don't have a national dish,we home here know it,s crab & calalloo ,so what country she,s from ??
❤❤❤❤❤my beautiful blessed country proud to be Trini.to d bone marrow and all.😂😂😂
🙏🤗
In the past (possibly pre-2000's) masqueraders only wore part of the costume on Monday and the full regalia on Tuesday. Wearing the whole costume on Monday and Tuesday would be unsanitary (especially the bodysuit/bikini bottoms) due to the accumulated sweat, bacteria, dust etc. So Monday wear emerged as an option. Also, the common shabbily mass produced costumes constructed now can't last two days of wear.
❤️🇹🇹🖤
❤
Doubles is the national dish
Its one of our national dish .but it is not the national dish.okayyy
One out of many dishes.😅❤
Nothing wrong with color of eyes they were born here they are Trinis.😂😂😂😂😂
Crawl back to the underside of the rock from which you emerged.
Try to acquire some intelligence and good social graces, while you're at it.
Where's the food?
Don't come here ain't nothing fun
We are the best in the world of come together whatever who we are as a nation trinidadian is the best friendly people
Not true.
@@BlackHeartMan_NoSoul I agree
🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨
I do feel proud to be Trinidadian.
But this video is pushing narrative that t&t is a perfect paradise for tourists. Its not all sunshine and party.
The crime rate has skyrocketed, corruption is high as well as unemployment. Take it with a grain of salt is all I'm saying
I expected nothing less from you.
Always attempting to do more harm to Trinidad and Tobago than is necessary.
Trinidad 🇹🇹 😂💙
A country that is bless.where every creed and race finds and equal place.yes we have some crime as many other country.our food is diverse as the people .we are made up of the africans.indians.chinese.syrian.spanish.europeans and many more.God bless this nation.
Thats A lie
❤️🇹🇹🖤
@@princepie8374 I agree. The people that are from African descend are not treated equally, and that a fact.
@@margaretwaugh2273 we people of African descent are too busy destroying ourselves and our own communities. Our predominantly black areas are a gangsters paradise.
🇹🇹🇹🇹
Where is the south Asians descent at? Trinidad is mostly Indian then black
Nope, not true. Please check statistics.
It’s literally the same amount and plus us Africans dominate the culture, the beauty queens so…
@@beyourself2444 Indian women are very beautiful 🥰 .. long silky hair, face and skin.. your bugging 😂😂😂
TnT
Trinidad and Tobago was a paradise,what's the problem is one political party build the country up, and the other political party tears it down.
Yes unc corrupt and racist party
?Trinidad. Is ah love.❤❤❤❤
Barry which party built and which party is destroying
@@RobinM88 well the People's Partnership certainly pushing the development of T&T, stole a lot of taxpayers money too. PNM just steals and destroys industries. Current government is completely incompetent but trinis like that so dey go take jam
Here we go 🙄
what about the terrible crime help us. 😢😢😢
There is crime all over the world and some places far worst than Trinidad
Great comment as usual, this nation could expect no better from you, would you like to seek refugee status now. Miss talya.
Must have a hater, an imps, an absolute waste of time Trini. Talya if you are trini you have learnt, if you have nothing nice to say, hush yuh dam a$$
Look at Haiti, and you'll appreciate what you have.
Crime is all over the world. We are a praying people.think positive.
Oh man! He should have had the breakfast from central. Roti, fried bake, talkari, smoked herring, salt fish. Meh mouth watering right now.
Trinidad also comprises of 40 % of Indian race who are always left out of the Trinidad Story
Nope my friend Indians aren't left out there the largest ethnic group 35% Africans 34%Mixed 15% Dougla 8% Arab/Chinese/European 7%
Demographic of T&T aren't 40 east Indians
What? The East Indian demographic of Trinidad was 40% in the 90s right now it’s about at 35%
And we are not being left out all the things shown are part of our culture as well sweetheart
Trinidad is made up approximately
35% Indian
34% Black
23% Mixed (Dougla is included here)
0.5% White
8.5% Syrian, Lebanese, Amerindian Other and Unknown
It have no people on this planet who think they more oppressed than Indo-Trinis 🙄 It's not anybody else's fault that y'all self-isolate your culture so much.
@@SexyBeautifulBabe mainly due to the fact that when it comes to Trinidad and Tobago entertainment it mainly comes from the Afro Trinidadians carnival, Calypso, Soca, Steel Drums and lots more, the Indo Trinidadians are mainly known for the food.
Silly Woman..its not all the RACES..WE make up one race comprised of 12 TRIBES!
First that is an elder you are speaking to. Secondly, when you have an Israeli passport, you are considered a part of the 12 tribes. If you don't your no different than Neo nazis or any other extremist group.
First of all STF UP & Second of all STF UP!
Duh,ALL races 🙄
@@pstruejew4895 Very intelligent response. Thank God some of us had REAL parents in our lives. Mine taught me to RESPECT ALL elders. About yours? Please!!
You, who claim to be enlightened, display an arrogant air. How is she silly? What's your anthropological evidence for your statement?
Just send me ova to Maracas Beach and I'll be fine and stop at my uncle's house and San Fernando and then go to a friend's house in chaguanas.
😊
Most dangerous
