Is there anywhere you have been or any person you have encountered that made you want to sit and listen all day because it made you smile just hearing their accent? I would love to know so tell me about it! Cheers Trish! With the Trini Accent

Yesterday I had a meeting with 3 French Men...and I can't say...the accent was as sexy as the women say. And then I had lunch with 3 Dutch men....which was hilarious! One gentlemen turned to another...spoke in dutch and I was then informed that..He doesn't understand what the Hell Us TRINI's was saying and thought we spoke English! lOL.... its a bit to fast for most ppl! I read somewhere a traveller to Trinidad said she visited and wanted to change USD to TTD and asked a local teh exchange rate. He replied 1US is 6 Tittees. (she thought what the hell...6 breasts...perve!) He Said T T so fast it sounded all wrong to her. LOL.

Lately I have noticed that Cypriots love the Greek accent. I have many friends who admit this. Personally I really like the authentic English accent. -------------------- My LATEST BLOGS: Marmari, Vasa, and CYPRUS, the Unique Destination for Business and Holidays!!!

I think my favorite accents include almost anything from Ireland, Scotland, or England, closely followed by German and Russian. -------------------- \|\|Boston Excursions\|\|London\|\|California\|\|Central Europe\|\|Washington D.C.\|\|
