Shubh Diwali friend! I am pleased that you're here! I wanted to share why I love this holiday so much and give a brief overview of where it came from, when it came to Trinidad and its influences on my childhood. Here are some links I used during my research while recording this week's episode!

Trinidad went on an intense 3rd lockdown and I mean intense like, the only places opened were the groceries, pharmacies and bakeries, very good... Then the whole rolling out of donated vaccines... and all the crazies came out of their holes. This episode is a commentary from Minato and I on Trinidadian matters of 2021.

In my youth, I swore I understood the ways of the world but to my surprise... I didn't know jack diddly squat and well... I still don't know squat lol! This episode is a minimally edited commentary on the way I used to think while I was in uni. 

How can they do this to us? Like why why why, they filled a whole void that this pandemic created... I wonder if there are there other apps that are similar? Come away with me to the mysterious land of Google so you don't have to!

After the traumatizing visit to Dublin, we still needed to return to Trinidad & Tobago, however, the Borders are closed and still don't have clearance to enter. Had to venture off to Beautiful Barbados since their requirements weren't as intense as the neighbouring Caribbean Islands. Thank you so much for the workers in the service industry, you're putting your lives on the line and are as equally important as our healthcare workers during this Pandemic! A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU!! 

What was it like quarantining in this beautiful gem of the Caribbean? How did I get into Trinidad&Tobago what was that process like?

Big Thank You to the Gilbert Family, My Parents, the Brewster Family & Danika for helping me to return home in 2020!

Now that we've had some good laughs from Dublin Duology Part I, let's pull the brakes, backtrack to October 31st 2020 and figure out what could've potentially been happening. Irish Immigration has been denying a lot of foreigners entry with the United States being at Number 7 of their most denied. I wonder why this could be the case?

**Disclaimer: This is a personal experience of mine and I simply wanted to discuss what had happened, it is still unclear to me about why it HAD to happen that way but currently I am back home in Trinidad&Tobago**
