INDIGO Newly open on weekend evenings at the Montpelier Plantation Inn is Indigo, tel: (1-869) 469 3462.

With the fountain sparkling under...

City residents divide up their own waste and deliver it to nearby collection stations on designated days. This means that every second Thursday of the month, my host parents transport their plastic waste to the collection site near city hall – except, of course, on the second Thursday of an even-numbered month, during which plastic bottles, and not common plastics, are collected. Before they do this, however...
...order "Obama Maki," a feast of shrimp tempura, cucumber, lobster, and spicy mayo. There must be no situation more ideal than dousing some Obama Maki in wasabi-tinged soy sauce, stuffing it into your mouth, and feeling patriotic all at the same time. We are quite pleased by the idea...
