From
tranquil and enchanting beaches to pulsating night clubs bellowing
European pop and techno music, to heart stopping horse racing, the
United States Virgin Islands and the people who call it home offer a
paradox of intrigue complementary to its unique role in the Caribbean.
The
US Virgin Islands is the only group of Islands in the Caribbean that are
owned by the United States. The dynamic clash caused when American
pop culture meets West Indian folklore, has created a new generation of
Caribbean-Americans unlike any generation before.
Although
the Virgin Islands may be influenced by their American counterparts,
they still hold true to their West Indian Roots. Have you ever
heard of an American who can cook Kalaloo, or even play a steel pan and
still dance the night away to the rhythmic tunes of Calypso?
Vibrant
faces and cool smiles with greetings such as " How you doin",
and "Hey Mon" abound in this colorful community. US
Virgin Islanders get to enjoy the best of both worlds, and it reflects
in their everyday lifestyles. Virgin Islanders are a the perfect
combination of all the Caribbean has to offer and American culture
rolled into one. We Invite you on an excursion into the everyday
lives of Virgin Islanders to see how much alike we really are, but so
very much different. Welcome to Island lifestyles.
