Bahamas in 6 days

Other than the flight and accommodation, everything else was decided on the go. Not sure what to expect since a lot of things went haywire. Credit Card fraud, checked-in luggage broken into, AirBnB host did not turn up at the airport in the last minute, etc.

Nassau felt like a mix of Bali and Sentosa. The differences are sea colour and Asian population (less than 10%). From an outsider's perspective, the difference in islander culture is not distinct. Felt a little like Bali, but also has their obvious differences.

Thankfully, I met a new Bahamian friend here. She showed me around on her off day and I learnt so much about Nassau and Bahamas. At her neighbourhood I was the odd Chinese in their laundry room. All in all, the Caribbean had been a wonderful local experience!
