20 Bajan Words That Will Make Your Trip to Barbados More Fun
(Article by Garry Winter)

The beautiful Caribbean island of Barbados is an English speaking country, which like many other countries has its own slang. Bajan slang can be a wee bit difficult to understand and as a fairly regular traveler to Barbados, I have been confused on many occasions when talking to locals that use a lot of slang.

I have put together a list of Bajan slang that I know will be of benefit to any tourists or business people that are traveling to Barbados.

Bashment!- Cool

a Bajan- a Barbadian, i.e someone from Barbados

Baje- a shortened form of "Bajan"

Cha!- an interjection meaning a variety of things from surprise to delight e.g: Cha, dat fella look so good! Cha, in hey hot as hell! Cha, you hear dat new tune!

Don't watch na face - don't worry about it

Don't watch nain- don't worry about

to flam with s.o: to flirt with someone

to be fagged out- to be very tired

Gipsy- too inquisitive about everyone's business e.g. cha, you so gipsy

Hard- to describe just about anything good

Lickorish- greedy when it comes to food

To be mekking sport- to be kidding, joking e.g You mekking bare sport!

nuttin/nain - nothing

Pooch - used to refer to one's buttocks

To be a pooch licker- to be someone who sucks up to people

To reason that - to think/decide that

Safe - Meaning "that's cool with me".

Scotch- In Bajan slang the word "scotch" is used when you want someone to move around so you could get a seat. For example, you may hear "Geh me a scotch dey so" (used like this it is considered rather impolite). The more polite form would be "May I have a scotch please?"Other examples are "You want a scotch?", "Try'an scotch'on dey so"

To run a lot ah mout - to talk big

Whaloss! - normally means "oh my goodness".

A few Pitfalls when buying Real Estate and How to Avoid Them...

The last experience that anyone wants to add to their list is being involved in a real estate deal and having everything go wrong. It is hard enough to simply find a place to move, and to have everything from the contract to the loan be put in place properly. If you don't want to have extra hassles when you are packing your boxes, then preventing some pitfalls along the way can help.

One of the major problems that several homeowners run into is having the wrong information or not finding the information that they need for their home. You don't want to get caught with the wrong loan, the wrong type of financing or payments that you have to make every month that you can't afford. There is nothing that drives a family out of a home faster than a bad financial deal. Understanding terms and investigating possibilities will help to prevent this.

A second pitfall to avoid happens when you are looking at the property, you want to make sure not get too attached to an area or to approach the property with specific intentions.

Eventually you will end up getting a bad deal and won't be able to benefit the most out of a property that could have been far better. Make sure that you examine every part of the property and you are certain that it is right investment for you.

With every part of real estate investments, you want to make sure that you do several things. The first is to investigate the terms and possibilities to you. The second is to move logically into a real estate investment. The third is to double check your information, your investment and the other options available.

As long as you keep your mind, eyes and ears open, you will have the possibility to find the best piece of real estate available to you. This will help you to get the most out of your investment.

This isn't something that will just last days or one year, but for several years to come. It is best to do things right the first time.

Barbados is well developed, and there are internationally-known hotels offering world-class accommodation. Time-shares are available, and many of the smaller local hotels and private villas which dot the island have space available if booked in advance.

The southern and western coasts of Barbados are popular, with the calm light blue Atlantic Ocean and their fine white and pinkish sandy beaches. Along the island's east coast the Atlantic Ocean side are tumbling waves which are perfect for light surfing, but a little bit risky due to under-tow currents.

7 miles from Pearl Gardens Development



Saint Lawrence Gap, Christ Church is one of the best known neighborhoods in the country of Barbados. Sometimes just called "The Gap", Saint Lawrence Gap is located on the southern coast of Barbados along the islands' Highway 7. Found between Oistins to the east and Worthings to the west, Saint Lawrence Gap features a 1.5k kilometer stretch of bars, hotels, dance clubs, restaurants, inns, resorts, and shops along a white powdery-sand beachfront.

The area was upgraded in recent years as part of the government's Urban Renewal and Development programme. Upgrades included a new boardwalk, street lighting, road paving and re-development of the Dover Beach area (new beach facilities and food and shopping kiosks.

Barbados is a beautiful island and an excellent vacation spot.
It is one of the best islands in the Caribbean...Why?..because I was
born their...superb, but most of my daily life is conducted in the UK.

Local destination distances from Pearl Gardens
Christ Church To:

Miami Beach: Short Walk

Oistins Town : 2.5 Miles

Airport: 5 Miles

St Lawrence Gap: 7 Miles

Bridgetown: 10 Miles

West Coast: 18 Miles

Money

The currency is Barbados is the Barbados dollar or the Bajan.
It is aprox....1.98 the US dollars. So basically $20 Barbados is
about $10 US, give or take a little.

Cost of Goods and Services

Items and services in Barbados are not cheap. They are about
the equivalent of items or services in the US. Naturally, as it is
almost anywhere you travel, the domestic goods are much
cheaper than imported items.

Owning Property in Barbados

Barbados has no legal restrictions for non-nationals wishing to
purchase real estate in Barbados.

An Attorney is required to purchase property in Barbados.
Due to the local conveyance laws, the absence of title insurance,
unregistered land titles and other factors, for a smooth legal
property transaction.
