August 26th 2015
Goodday!! I had limited internet access the last two months and in the meantime I've been working in Europe for the summer, therefore I had little time to write. While in Hiroshima I was busy looking at options to go watch a baseball game of Tokyo Yakult Swallows in Kobe or Yokohama. The player from Curaçao in that team, Wladimir “Coco” Balentien, broke the homerun record last year. I found ... read more

Bon Biní, Bienvenido, Welkom, Welcome, Benvenuto, Wilkommen! I'm Elton, from the island of Curaçao (Southern Caribbean) where I was born, raised and currently living. I grew up in a local neighbourhood just west of Otrobanda in Willemstad. I speak Papiamentu, Dutch, Spanish, English, regular Italian and a little German. Curaçao is a small but unique Island. It's not the typical Caribbean island with just sun and beaches. It has a rich and interesting history and culture. The capital, Willemstad, is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Classic Japan!
How great that you were able to work in Europe, so you could continue traveling. These are such classic places you visited in Japan--really makes me want to visit. There is a wonderful black couple from England, mikesrtw [blogger=296438], who are now in China, where they are treated, for better and worst, like famous movie stars with everyone wanting their photo and staring at them. Trippy if you adventurous Travelbloggers met up in Asia. Happy travels!

Hi Tara. Thanks for recommending that profile. I already sent them a message. I've been in Europe since May and not going back to Asia now, but who knows I might meet them somewhere else. The attention they got in China is similar to what I got in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. And yes, Japan is great...would love to go back one day. I'd recommend it to everyone! :)
