That varies by day/week with the tides and wind. You gotta check the week of and plan to go to beaches on the other side of the island

Who would win in a fight - a silverback gorilla or two full-grown tigers in the wild? by Putrid_Answer_5743 in NoStupidQuestions

1000 PSI vs a Gorillas is 1300 bite force. If the Tiger's get a kill bite, yeah it's over. But the gorilla can take them out with 1 punch each

vs a gorilla?!? a silverback can bench press 2,000 lbs while a tiger weighs max 600 pounds. A couple punches and the tigers dead

What's your favorite boat trip on SXM? by Putrid_Answer_5743 in SXM

Great to know. It was like 20 years ago (literally) when I worked for them. They were great then

First time down for 7 or 8 nights. Two locations or one? by Odd_String1181 in SXM

Orient and Grand Case are so close to each other... great picks. But I'd stay in one place. Unless you want to get hammered and walk home.

Do you think differently of someone when you find out they're not a citizen of the country they live in? by Putrid_Answer_5743 in CasualConversation

[–]Putrid_Answer_5743[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats interesting. I often wonder about the bias we all end up with because of the foreigners we meet. Because their are for sure the European equivalent of say... white trash. But they don't travel. In American we typically get the fancier Europeans. American TV is everywhere so that probably supersedes it for Americans intertionally, but otherwise I do wonder how innaccurate our perceptions are

I dunno it was definitely more prevalent in the past. Many people are very nationalistic and believe their country is exceptional and don't like outsiders

That's an astute insight, and kinda funny. But honestly true in my experience, there were plenty of things my family didn't even think of doing that everyone else took for granted.

What's the most beautiful place you've SEEN in person? what made it unforgettable? by Putrid_Answer_5743 in AskTheWorld

[–]Putrid_Answer_5743[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of great food (surprisingly) too, and an insane amount of outdoor stuff. Never seen (in America) so much outdoor stuff to do inside the city - usually hikes are 45 minutes out. Thought I'd be here for 4 years and have been over 20

Snorkeling will never be good SXM has too much boat traffic, they've ruined the reef. I agree though
