I just came back from Nassau. The island is ugly n ghetto and we stayed in a real crappy part of town but I had the best time! Went clubbing w the locals n the people r real friendly. I loved it! And can't wait to go back!

[familyTravelStory]

You make Nassau look like such a relaxing place.  I can't wait to go back.

[SmokeySushi]

Show us the real Bahamas. Rent a scooter like we did and ended up in the slums which is 90% of the island.

[riteashell]

This seems like a beautiful place to work in and i would really like to apply!

Thank you!

[deidra82able]

My ship just ported and im ready to explore, for 7 days!!!!!!!!!! May not come back to the states! Lol

[KitchenSpeclol]

@deidra82able i envy you. once i get too fed up with the stress of life, i think im going to quit my job, take out my savings and move to bahamas and just enjoy myself.

[deidra82able]

@KitchenSpeclol I was thinking the same thing too, but I was so ready to come back! Its alot of proverty over there and it seems that natives always had their hands out for something! But they give you free beer when you on the islands ,but you cant smoke! Lol

[NormallyRight]

The Bahamas were nice, But if you left the main road its horrible. Complete ghetto, Cinder block houses with tarp roofs, Trash everywhere, and....Intresting people.

[MBP6705]

Looks beautiful. I'm going in march and I can't wait! Think I'll pass on the snail salad though.

[DylanVolb]

probably the best times of my life took place on this island... the most beatiful scenery and wildlife i've personally ever witnessed on a first hand account

[hiu1787]

mmmmmmm...that conch salad looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooo GOOD !!!

[blamebrianna]

@hiu1787 That conch salad they make tastes like shit. It's water, a snail, and tomatoes. And I think I may have contracted a disease from it.

[MEJOISHI]

@blamebrianna is the water limes or lemon, is the snail a mullosk and is the ingrediants: onions, sweet pepper, tomatoes, cucumber seasoned with salt and pepper?

[mitalkditingsdem]

@blamebrianna THE FRIED CONCH IS BETTER TRY IT THE NEXT TIME

[RASRYDIM]

@ SCRUFFY...U TYPE LKE A BAHAMIAN...ITS SAD THAT YOU DOWN YOUR OWN COUNTRY..ITS SAD ON YOU AND UR A SADDD ASS PERSON..I LAUGH AT IGNORANT ASSES LIKE YOU IF YOU ARE A BAHAMIAN......BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW WHICH COUNTRY YOU GO IN THAT THERE ISNT CRIME.....EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD GOT CRIME!! BUT I KNOW ONE THING..BAHAMAS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE IN THE WORLD...THE CONCH STANDS AR'NT REGULATED BUT I CAN TELL YOU ONE THING...MOST STANDS ON POTTERS CAY CLEAN WHEN THEY OPEN AND CLEAN WHEN THEY CLOSE!

[AllForTheGame]

is there any city in the bahamas worth living

[sitdownponit123]

@AllForTheGame Freeport

[stazzia2010]

@scruffyrunkin You are 100% off base in your comment about crime and the transportation. May I ask where do you get your information?

[hiu1787]

@scruffyrunkin I can tell you you are 100% off base. Sure crime is an issue, it is a problem for any city as cosmopolitan as Nassau is and with a population the size of Nassau's. Don't make this seem as if crime is only a problem that exists in Nassau Bahamas.

[hiu1787]

@scruffyrunkin As for the transportation system you're referring to (i guess you mean the public transportation i.e "jitneys") I can tell you that you are completely and utterly 100% WRONG!! Many hundreds of tourists ride the local "jitneys" as it is the cheapest way to get around town ($1) other than walking. I catch the #10 and #19 buses almost everyday and encounter a tourist almost everytime I am on the bus and not once was there an incident where a tourist was robbed. I live in Nassau.

[hiu1787]

@scruffyrunkin If that were the case that a tourist stood a 90% chance of getting robbed anytime they rode the local jitneys you would never hear the end of that as that would be plastered all over the news, both local and international. Yes, crime has risen in Nassau but the picture you are painting is one of a place so uninhabitable and so crime-ridden, but that is simply just not the case. If you have a problem with the place fine, but there is no need for the derogatory remarks.

[stazzia2010]

@scruffyrunkin So...You're not a Bahamian and you don't live here? It shows. And I have to admit that I was wrong in saying you're 100% off base. You are 1000% off base! :)

[stazzia2010]

@scruffyrunkin It is astonishing that you feel qualified to speak with authority about a place you've never visited. Wow! And then, you actually do speak! lol Amazing.

I wish that you would address the thing that is making you angry, because you cannot possibly be this hostile over this conversation. I recommend a vacation....In the Bahamas! Maintenant s'il vous plait! Bonjour monsieur au madame! :D

[hiu1787]

@scruffyrunkin The Bahamas has the 3rd highest GDP per capita among all nations in the Western Hemisphere, after only the mighty USA and Canada. We enjoy a very high standard of life here. We think nothing about jumping on a plane and catching a 30 minute flight to Miami for $295 then dropping another 5-10K on a shopping then coming back home on the last flight. My family just did that last week. We live pretty good down here.

[hiu1787]

@scruffyrunkin And since your in-laws hate it so much here, why with all the power failures and flea infestation (I've never heard so much rubbish in my entire life) why do they stay. I mean, I would never stay in a place I hate so much. And bad fresh water, Bahamians don't drink tap water. We buy bottled water because we could afford to.

[hiu1787]

@scruffyrunkin Your lack of knowledge is really astonishing and the fact that you have the gall to speak with the conviction of a person who has lived here all there lives almost renders me speechless. You speak as if you know more than me which is laughable. If that were true you would know that the life expectancy isn't 60 years as you so emphatically pointed out. Men have a life expectancy of 70 while women have 74. I should ask you where you get your info, oh yeah, I forgot "wikenpedia" lol

[hiu1787]

@scruffyrunkin I can tell you this, there is no other place in the whole entire world that I would rather call home, than my Nassau, Bahamas. Only after travelling abroad and seeing what is to offer out there in the world can one really appreciate how good we have it in the Bahamas.

[stazzia2010]

@hiu1787 Spoken like a TRUE Bahamian with first hand information! Thanks.

[hiu1787]

@stazzia2010 A PROUD BAHAMIAN too...lol. We certainly have our problems here, as does every single nation on earth. But we have to thank God for blessing us with this little gem to call our home because we lead a far better life than many billions of people here in the world.

[stazzia2010]

@hiu1787 Yes, we do!!! I work in the Hotel Industry, so I know first hand what are guests are feeling and saying. And I am a PROUD BAHAMIAN with low tolerance for small minded twits.There is a reason that Tourism continues to be the first source of income in our economy. Tourists continue to travel here, not just once, but repeatedly. I thank God daily to be able to call this beautiful place my home! A sheer blessing.

[hiu1787]

@scruffyrunkin We have a very stable political structure here in The Bahamas, have had one for almost 400 years. And I have travelled quite a bit. I've been all over the US, went to University in England (University of Warwick), been to Paris, Rome, Madrid, Greece. So, I've been around. Why do we need mountains. Here, we get strike by hurricanes almost annually. Having mountains, although it would help with wind sheer, would lead to mud slides.

[hiu1787]

@scruffyrunkin I know we have it pretty good in The Bahamas. We don't owe nothing to our govt. We don't pay any form of income tax so the money from our paycheck, every penny, goes in our pockets. Thousands of Bahamians attend Universities in the US and Europe spending hundreds of thousands of dollars because we can. When hurricanes strike here you will never see the type of devastation that happens in Florida or Louisiana. We simply have better building codes and response to disaster.

[stazzia2010]

@hiu1787 A highly informed and educated response. Thanks!

[hiu1787]

@scruffyrunkin The Bahamas has a very stable political structure, thats why international business continues to flourish even in the midst of this global recession. Were it not for the stability of all sectors of the society including our govt. this would not be the case. And infiltrated by Haiti, you must be dreaming. Citing "wikenpedia" as a source shows just how credible and knowledgeable you really are.

[Gotti242]

@hiu1787 i just read through your comments. I am a bahamian also. and you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. first off bermuda and cayman islands have a higher GDP than us. Our government is SO corrupt, and nassau has one of the worst murder rates on this side of the world. We are a third world country, and we have lots of poverty. yes, we are miles ahead in term of development and poverty than some places like haiti, or guyana, but we are nothing like what u make it out to be.

[hiu1787]

@Gotti242 I when people tell me I have "absolutely no idea what I'm talking about". It gives me a good chuckle...LOL. The Bahamas ranks 3rd in GDP per capita in the Western Hemisphere behind only the USA and Canada. You know why this is, as obviously Bermuda and Cayman Islands have a higher GDP/capita than the Bahamas and for that matter the USA and Canada, is because we are an independent nation and we run our own affairs. Both Bermuda and the Caymans are territories of Britian

[MickScarborough]

@hiu1787 If you pay no income tax, what pays for your government to run?

[Gotti242]

@MickScarborough import or duty tax is how our government makes its money. nearly everything in the bahamas has to be imported.

[Gotti242]

@hiu1787 but we are still a third world country, we dont have a great government, we have alot of crime etc. so there is a lot of room for improvement.

[hiu1787]

@Gotti242 Who is disputing this? The Bahamas is a third world developing country...I am plainly aware of this and like you state there is a lot of improvement in all sectors of society. Someone talks down about my country and I am gonna defend it there no "ifs-ands-and-buts" about it. I have lived overseas and I can tell you whenever I am away, I count down the days and minutes and seconds till I return home. You can only know this feeling if you have seen what the rest of the world has to offer

[Gotti242]

@hiu1787 u seem to pretend like you know a lot, but realy you dont. what does it matter if bermuda and cayman islands are british territories?? they are smaller countries (way smaller than bahamas) with their own parliament. I am from bahamas also and i love my country, but the only way to improve it is to recognise that there is problems with it. why are you making out bahamas to be something that it is not? to attract people to come visit over youtube??

[Gotti242]

@hui1787 AND....... you pretend like it is such a big deal when you say "highest GDP per person" in the western hemisphere. HAHA.. thats not saying much at all. we may be ranked high on this side of the world but compared to the rest of the world we are nothing.... basically you are saying that we have the highest GDP of the third world countries. and i am the last person on earth who wants to talk shit or tell lies about my country, all i am saying is we are not a well run country like u say.

[hiu1787]

@Gotti242 Again, you ramble on with rubbish, how can the Bahamas be "nothing" like you say when according to the International Monetary Fund 2010's ranking we come in at 35th out of 182 nations and according to the CIA World Factbook we rank 36th out of 194 nations? I am not denying we don't have issues in our country, we do, as do every single nation on earth. But I would take our problems any day over those living in Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Haiti, India, and need I go on

[Gotti242]

@hiu1787 Yes, some of the countries that you listed are on a whole different level in terms of development etc., and i totally agree. BUT my point is you are describing the bahamas as a place that only deals with the same problems that other "wealthy" or "first world" countries do, which is simply not true. why dont you just accept the truth, yes bahamas is extremely beautiful, we have some of the best beaches etc. but we are a third world nation, why make it out to be something its clearly not

[7ExaltingroguE]

@hiu1787 Wow. I envy you XD It seems like everythings carefree over at the Bahamas... maaan I hope I can go there some day

[MrsBahamainCarter]

@hiu1787 Actually, we do pay some form of tax, that's NIB. There's a certain percentage of you weekly/monthly pay that your boss has to deduct from your pay to give to NIB for the Government.

[hiu1787]

@scruffyrunkin So I can back up my assessment of how good we have it because I've actually been around to see what the rest of the world offers. I don't rely on what other ppl say to make my conclusions. I enjoy my life here in Nassau, here we have all the conveniences of a modern city wrapped up in an island/laid back lifestyle. We've done pretty good for ourselves.

[shecutess]

Yes they were carved out by hand by those poor slaves...I guess we should leave the past in the past...Great video!

[hiu1787]

Beautiful Nassau...my home sweet home!!!
