English and Spanish, but mainly English. There are a lot of people here from South America, and they are the Spanish speakers.
The Trinidad and Tobago Dollar (TTD). Here, they just refer to it as a dollar, much like we do in the U.S. The conversion rate from U.S. dollars (USD) to TTD is 7 TTD to 1 USD.
A bottle of water costs about $5 TTD.
During Diwali, I was served so much food! There was so much food that it was served to me on a banana leaf. On this leaf, I had channa (chickpeas) and potato, pumpkin, curried mango, rice, dhal (spilt peas) and roti (a flat bread). Then for dessert, I had khurma (fried sticks of flour, ginger, sugar and cinnamon), barfi (crumbly sweet cake) and jalebi (sweet flour batter fried and coated with a syrup).
During Diwali, everyone listens to music from India, which meant I heard music I had never heard before or understood since it was in a different language. There were a lot of celebratory songs being played and lots of people dancing to it.
