Caribbean Melting Pot !

What fascinates me about the Cayman Islands, especially Grand Cayman is the fact that there are about 101 different nationalities living on the island with an estimated population of about 55,000. Now, there is no way that I can verify that figure of 101, except that I have heard it mentioned many times by different people, but what I do know is that personally I have met and spoken to people from America, Britain, Canada, England, Italy, Jamaica, Honduras, Belize, Cuba, Nicaragua, Trinidad, Columbia, Venezuela, Ireland, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Philipines, Malawi, Brazil, Uganda and the list goes on. The sum total of this for me is that there is little tolerance for racism as we are all in the same boat as expatriates and no one grouping has power over the other.
Obviously, there will always be innuendos here and there, but I must say of all the places I have travelled I have encountered little or no racism here. So it is possible to live with other people and get along in a such a small place. Each time, I go out I am guaranteed to meet someone from an interesting country or location, what a place to be!
