The tall ship festival ended last week and it was spectacular. We were not able to watch the tall ships come into Hamilton on the Thursday due to commitments, but the parade of sail on the Monday was pretty impressive.
Our days in Bermuda are quickly coming to an end and while on the surface, this is the most beautiful island in the world and we are glad to have had the experience, we are VERY happy to move on and not have to deal with the racism and expat resentment that is so prevalent here. Its just getting worse as far as I can tell and its no wonder with the Premier constantly fueling the divide. This man turns EVERYTHING into a race issue, when 99% of the time, the issue or problem at hand has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with race. I don't know how Bermudians stand it but I guess its just so much a part of their everyday lives that they probably don't even realise that its not like this elsewhere. Personally, I think this country will always be divided as there seem to be a lot of folks like Dr. Brown in positions of power who continuously fan the flames and spread hatred. This is a country that really is just integrated from 9-5.
One great thing about leaving is now we feel free to express ourselves without fear the the work permit will be revoked and we will be being thrown off the island .
We have not said much on our blog about what its really like to live here as everyone who is a guest worker on this island knows that we are to be seen but not heard.
