Attended a Bahamian birthday beach party the other day, only white woman in sight! Tons of people turned up, yet the birthday woman didn’t know who most of them were. She invited friends and relatives who in turn invited friends and relatives who also invited friends and relatives who invited me. I guess this is normal and everyone brings food and drink. Kids seemed to be having the most fun, adults on the other hand were split – men in one area, women in another. The birthday girl (45) has no less than 6 kids, the Bahamian way (each has a different father); and Reena, her daughter gave birth just 4 days ago (following in her mother's footsteps) is already jumping around serving dinner to the domino players. Guess we all know what I’d be telling them!!!! Hmmmm…different culture entirely.
