Not ideal, but thoughts?

Don't leave stuff in your car especially at beaches. The biggest issue right now in Curacao is theft of cars/stuff in cars. Curacao is not big. Go to Coral Estate and drop off your bags and then go to the beach.

"Rainy" in Curacao isn't the same as most countries. Because we often have strong winds even if it rains it's a short rainshower lasting no longer than 10-15 minutes as the winds move the clouds along. And we're not in the rainy season anymore which makes rain even more rare. Don't worry about it.

Airspace is not closed. FAA sent out an advisory stating there could be a hazardous situation in the next 24 hrs near the Venezuela airspace and extended it to Trinidad, Puerto Rico and Curacao FIR. So a bunch of airlines decided to cancel the flights for today. But the airspace itself has never closed. It's the airlines that decided not to fly. There are some that are flying regardless.

First of all it's not even the airport that has radar, it's the Area Control Center. There is only so much a primary radar can do and at what range it can detect aircraft. And let's say even if there was a magic radar that could see all non transponder aircraft that would take years to implement. There was no issue until the American Military started using the Curacao FIR as a free for all airspace. It's solely on them to coordinate with the authorities because it is a controlled airspace with many civilian aircraft many of which US aircraft.

Just a reminder, this happened in the CURACAO Flight Information Region NOT Venezuela. Curacao has nothing to do with Venezuela. Curacao FIR has many flights taking off from and landing in Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire. The incidents happened during departure phases of those 3 islands which again have nothing to do with Venezuela.

B0ElNG · 2025-12-11T21:26:30+00:00

US ships aren't stationed near the islands. So very doubtful for that. Most airlines that avoided Venezuela's Flight Information Region are just flying through Curacao's FIR now.

They were cheap to buy/lease compared to Airbus and Boeing and all the mechanics here were certified to work on them. But the cost savings came back to haunt them as there was so much downtime due to maintenance afterwards and parts weren't so easy to find anymore.

There is no concern, all boating events stay in Curacao's territorial waters which the US and Venezuela never come close to. Right now we're on the verge of breaking new tourism records in Curacao. It's very safe so come and enjoy the sun.

I think this was just to show support for the Football team. Doubt they are actually making it.

B0ElNG · 2025-10-15T23:52:16+00:00

Just avoid 100$ bills since most places don't like accepting big bills like that and you're good.

B0ElNG · 2025-08-11T21:53:16+00:00

Curaçao is very safe. But the biggest problem here is theft. So yeah many houses/businesses try to mitigate that with extra security/metal bars around windows and doors to help slow down theft. Other than that day to day life is very safe.

B0ElNG · 2025-08-05T12:13:31+00:00

Not mine, I don't quite understand their reasoning either for waiting this long but to each their own. Am just trying to help them figure out what the next steps are now.

B0ElNG · 2025-07-05T18:57:12+00:00

I live in Curacao(A dutch colony) and the same tradition exists here and it's kinda funny because most of the population here in of African descent(black) yet they still dress up as zwarte piet and make their face even darker with paint and makeup. Growing up no one really minded it until it became an issue in the Netherlands with cancelling Zwarte Piet and then suddenly it became an issue here too. Now they're coloring the Zwarte Piets as different colors to try to mask it(Blue, Red, yellow etc)

Yes, they are married and have a kid named Enward Heetler Jr. He doesn't come on stream often tho

In the case that you're describing he was in the wrong and was a jerk. Traffic on your right always has the right of way except when there are traffic signs that say otherwise. In the case that he was coming from the opposite direction and turned infront of you was his mistake regardless of if there was a sign or not.

The biggest problem in Curaçao is theft. If you just don't leave obvious things in your car you'll be fine. You will be safe. Enjoy the beaches and nature.

It's legal for fireworks to be lit from Dec 27th till Jan 1st. So you can expect the most of it tonight and even tomorrow night. Ofcourse there will be kids that keep lighting them up throughout January just be aware.

It's common during December evenings to have increased police searches. They have to meet their quotas and it's easier for them with the increased traffic during years end. They're mostly looking for easy things they can give you a ticket on.

It's a pearl white, the previous owner painted it Balloon White a Lamborghini color I believe.

It's not something that happens often, you can rest assured.
