I lived for two years in Trinidad. I was six years old, and I loved it. The term "third world country" by the way, is outdated. Many countries perceived as impoverished are progressing in leaps and bounds.

LouBelle, fulano, and JakeM2012, you have PMs.
Sorry if the term third world country was offensive, I know it is inaccurate. It was used for lack of a better term, that's why I put it in quotes.
More responses to this thread are also appreciated.

Um no - 3rd world is the perfect word for my country - the mind state though is barbaric!
I have replied to your PM.
