St. Kitts - brimstone hill fortress

Recorded my trip to brimstone hill forters on my phone. Really cool place. Amazing view.. the video is kinda shitty, but you get the idea.. ill post history later

St. Kitts The man with the healing hand. ALOE TO THE RESCUE!

We were hanging out and eating at cathys after a day of volley ball and swimming at the beach when this guy comes up and starts putting aloe vera on a leaf  all over Erics face... then tries to charge him 15$ US. he got $5 EC out of eric, but the moment was priceless..!! check it out..

RESTAURANTS: Pride of India

So me being Pakistani, I def wanted to get some desi ( indian / pakistani) food! I asked around st kitts and people recommended Pride of India. It is located in town on Port Zante on the second floor of one of the buildings. The food was surprisingly good. The owner was a young guy named Pardeep who owns one of two Pride of India's. I think he has one on st. Thomas too.. I definitely recommend this place to anyone of who comes to this Island.... I was beginning to get sick of fish fish fish. Anyways, the food was awesome, good naan... even though the place was abit pricey. One plus for muslims is that they have zabiha or halal chicken! btw i think there is another indian restaurant on the island but I heard this one is better. I couldnt find a pic onlune, but ill take one when i get a chance in the day time...  I went there for dinner.

SHOPPING: "The Best For Less" vs "SHOPPERS PLAZA"

So i was recommended Best For Less in st. Kitts to go shopping for linens and everything besides groceries. I went there and bought some things... didnt really think much of it... later that day i went into town. I went to a place called "SHOPPERS PLAZA"... I think... that place was ALOT cheaper. MORAL OF STORY.... THE BEST FOR LESSIS A RIP OFF!! Both had indian people working there but Best buy was ALOT more desified... they were from mumbai and Baroda in india...

August 29th 2009

I am room 252 at the royal st kitts, so stop by and say hello if you want. I plan to move in from a guest room in the morning.

here are some answers to the questions I have been asked by friends:

Be sure to remember your linens and iron for royal st. kitts. I initially though that they would provide them... aannnd I was wrong. I need to go buy some bedding in the morning. Also if you are concerned about bringing food to the island, don't be... I brought 4 boxes of food and had frozen food in my carry on. Just tell them that you are a new student on the island and that this is your food only. They mainly check for electronic items... they are just tryna protect there economy. Bringing food to the island should not be a problem from what i have heard. Also make sure to buy your books online or even borders or Barnes and Noble, because some of the prices on these books are ridiculously expensive. I checked out the school yesterday with my parents and it looks very nice. I will post a video of the school and its facilities later. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Aug 28th, Shiggidy Shack Dinner @ 7pm:

Last night there was a semi-event at Shiggidy shacks down on the strip. I have to say it was pretty solid, live music in front of the beach. AMAZING! I didn't stay too long into the night but the strip is THE spot on the island so you probably will find yourself there sometime soon. I think that there is also an event next Saturday September 5th ton the southeast (i think) part of the island, more of a day type thing. It was cool that the nursing and med students all hang out know each other, afterall .... we all will be studying in the same buildings. Initially I had the impression that the med campus was separate from the nursing.

DAY 1. THE BEGINNING

About me: My Name is. I am making this blog so I do not have to lose touch with my friends and family back in the states nor do i have to repeat myself and my experiences a million times over... Anyways, about me... I Graduated from Mizzou in the states with a biology major and business minor. I decided to go to the Caribbean for med school because i didn't wanna try to wait a year and or take the mcat again and see what happens. I found the University of Medicine and Health Sciences (UMHS) and liked it, 2 months later here i am in the Caribbean... I thought making a blog would be fun and entertaining for some of my friends, also it might be very useful to others...

ANyways.. here is my trip to stl to st kitts. It also it gives you an idea of the hotel that i am staying at for the next 4 months, Royal St. Kitts.

P.S. yea i took the "eminem- lose yourself" idea from that SABA video... btw the second track is "Rock City - Can i get on" >DOWNLOAD HERE<
