Alright, so, here will be the place to discuss a randomly selected (or possibly chosen) country for a week, and then talk about specific aspects of the countries each week.
Every Thursday, I will name the country of the week, along with announcing each the topic/aspect for us to discuss. You can comment, share, discuss anything on the topic for that day on that country, though please just make sure you stick to the country of the week.
When picking countries, I will either be generating a random country from or generator or will be taking your suggestions form this anonymous if you would like me to.
Officially the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, is a country within the Lucayan Archipelago in the West Indies. The archipelagic state consists of fewer than 700 islands, cays, and islets in the Atlantic Ocean, and is located north of Cuba and Hispaniola Island (Haitii and the Dominican Republic), northwest of the Turks and Caicos Islands, southeast of the US, and east of the Florida Keys. The capital is Nassau on the island of New Providence. The Royal Bahamas Defence Force describes The Bahamasā territory as encompassing 470,000 km2(180,000 sq mi) of ocean space.
Never been to the Bahamas before. Havenāt really had the initiative to go there either. Itās very pretty place to look at in pictures. Iām not a beach person so I wouldnāt enjoy the beach side parts there. I know there are more places and tourist sites to see other than the beach but Iām not someone who travels out of country a lot.
The Bahamas has more than just a beach, well, not reallyā¦ Being so many islands, itās understand why itās just mainly the beach. Though there is some stuff to do aside from sitting on the beach. Such asā¦
The Nassau Straw Market, a traditional open-air market selling handwoven straw crafts, Bahamian souvenirs & tourist trinkets.
Fort Fincastle, it was built to provide protection to Nassau. The fort was built in 1793 by Lord Dunmore to protect Nassau from pirates.
Ardastra Gardens, Zoo and Conservation Centre. It opened in 1937 though the work of the Jamaican horticulturist, Hedley Vivian Edwards. From the Latin Ardua astrum, Ardastra means āStriving for the starsā.
Aquaventure. Popular, 141-acre aquatic center featuring high-speed waterslides, a lazy river & swimming pools.
Deanās Blue Hole, is the worldās second deepest, after the Dragon Hole in the South China Sea, with a depth of 202 metres.
Yeah, agreed. Pirate history is always interesting to me. The idea that pirates must have been such a big problem at the time since they were made up of only islands, just really interests me to know more about their history. Just what they went through and the defences they had in place, especially for the time.
