Bahamas

hi,

i live in the bahamas and have been going to school here for 5 years after i moved from Seattle for buisness with my dad ,mom, and sister.. i am extremley happy we are moving back to Seattle next year because the school systems here suck . the teachers don't care if you pass or fail, and the average grade for this country is a 'd'. some children cant read, or spell. ( 10 % of children ) . Ive attended their public school which is worst because children have shot there teachers before so....... they would try to shoot you. i have been to private school which is not as good but better. PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN THE BAHAMAS ARE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. these children in the schools do not know many things that a 6 year old in a American school would know. they also HAVE to do religion- they cannot worship any other God but the one they are taught about ( i am a christian, so it was a easy pass )

i am 14 and if i was staying in the Bahamas i would've been going in the 11th grade. normally their students graduate at 16, . I'm not trying to be defensive, but Bahamian education is horrible. THANK God for America!

No. Fiji is a very conservative and traditionalist country where people are very aware of their customs and traditions. There are LGBT communities in Fiji, however; gays and lesbians in Fiji do not and can not show their love in public - these have to be done privately in their homes.

About maariages, it is illegal and some hotels,resorts and places in Fiji are not so gay friendly.

The Bahamas is a group of islands that is located in the Atlantic ocean at the border of the Caribbean sea. It is no part of the Caribbean. However it is the gate way to north America and the to the Caribbean.

Kiki says :

As a Bahamian my self, us females usually wear pencil leg (straight leg) jeans colored shirt, matching close in shoes or heels to match and some cheap jewelery (rarely u would see someone walking around wid real diamond or gold) Us Bahamians love to be in style and we hav to be. If u walk around on a carnival nite or at a public event in Nassau, u would be amazed at how many females would have on pencil leg or short jeans. But tha bottum line iz

We bahamains gat our own style n we luv ta b In style

The islands are full of flora and fauna. The only small mammals that live on the islands are the raccoon and the hutia. Some of the larger mammals are wild donkeys, wild boar, and horses. Two other mammals that live off the coast of the Bahamas are the whale and the dolphin. Some of the reptiles are the rock iguana, the Cat island terrapin, and the hawksbill turtle. They all share the cay. One bird that lives on the island is the flamingo

You should bring food, extra water, extra clothing, a bag, anything to explore for example; hiking boots, binoculars, and anything you want. But you need to be prepared.

Many cruise lines offer packages to the Bahamas. The largest and most well-known include Carnival, Disney Cruises and Holland America cruise lines. In addition, smaller companies like Direct Line Cruises offer cruises to the Bahamas. For a more complete listing and information on various companies offering Bahamas cruises, a local travel agent would probably be the best source of information.

We can be proud of a Bahamian Inventor. A member of the Bahamas Historical Society, Mr. Moses F. Daxon, has been honored for his recent Pateneted Invention. He received a gold medal for inventors, at an Inventors Fair. Mr Daxon has a Patent for "The Boxing Ring Corner Mat."

English is the official language. Although, you might hear Bahamian English. It's a mixture of Queen's diction, African influence and island dialect.

Some islands are too small to be inhabited.

Yes you can. The exchange rate between American and Bahamian currency is $1 to $1. Because of the high percentage of American tourists that travel to the Bahamas and the strong influence of the American culture, many if not all establishments and businesses accept US$.

My friend says they're made of paste. He's certain. We have no choice but to believe him.

Tourism provides jobs and income to the Bahamas.

Some advantages of tourism is , we have lovely beaches and we are one of the few places that stay warm during the winter and for people who are in snow al the time would spend as much money as they could to spend time in a place like the Bahamas. We have a tropical and relaxing feeling to our island and we also are very welcoming but w can also find some disadvantage in the Bahamas like the few unreseanable local workers and the trashdispue on the island. We alsao have a racing crime rate and a number of crimes that hapen at one time. We are not always tourist ready because with the economy going down , and the way we depend on the United states, we bearly have money to fix up and renovate our supplies and accomidations. -

First of all...you can't.You have to cross water to get from the US to the Bahamas.But I guess that you could make it in like a day and a half. It took me 20 hours to drive from Tampa,FL to DC.

1. agriculture 5%, industry 5%, tourism 50%, other services 40% (2005 est.) All values, unless otherwise stated, are in US dollars. The Bahamas is a stable, developing nation with an economy heavily dependent on tourism and offshore banking.
