The first letter of the license plate indicates the type of vehicle:
The early license plates started with PA, TA, and HA and have made their way through PAA, TAA, and HAA to what you see on this truck, TBB. Unlike the North American car licensing system, the license plate on a Trinidadian car stays with it, even if it is sold. This means that just by looking at the combination of letters, you can get a rough idea of how old a vehicle is. |
T&T has representations in Roman Catholic (29%), Anglican (11%), Presbyterian, Methodist, and evangelical faiths, Hinduism (24%), Islam (6%), and traditional African faiths.

As in Britain, Trinidadians drive on the left side of the road and as such, the driver sits on the right side of the car. Imagine having to change your gears with your left hand. When I visit, it takes a few days worth of driving before I finally stop turning on the windsheild wipers instead of the indicator.
This picture was taken near Long Circular Mall. Though a fairly high traffic and populated area, it's quite normal to see a family of goats trekking down the road. |

This picture overlooks Westmoorings and Westmoorings by the Sea, one of the more affluent residential areas. In the distance is Port of Spain, our nations' capital.
Westmoorings is actually reclaimed land, which has been extended and developed within the last decade or so. Before that, the area was simply swamp. The Bay in view is called the Gulf of Paria, home to the deep sea harbour in Port of Spain where you can catch the Panorama, the ferry to Tobago. |
