The Euro-Caribbean Island of Curaçao

[@Suetvvlogs]

I hated when people paint a pretty picture of a country but leave the dark stuff out of it, let's keep it real, you also got to include the dark side of curacao, and as a local, I know for a fact that like every other Caribbean island in the Caribbean, Curacao is among the favorite islands used by the cartels to smuggle their drugs, there is a reason why the Caribbean islands are called the white route by the biggest cartels in the world, 95% of Colombian and Mexican drugs pass through the Caribbean islands on their way to Europe, corruption on the island among politicians, the police and other high ranking members of the society is a day to day business, the drugs and especially the human smuggling on the island has become a big problem, drugs using among the population has also increased, the island maybe a paradise to tourist but for us locals the situation is getting worse, thanks for the video thought at least you are promoting our island in a good way.

where the name o curacao comes from ? that is a Portuguese word ... someone explain that part

[@markhunter1]

curacao in Portugues means healing

[@kakakhodenn9128]

Can attest to that fact, as i have personally lost friends and family members to cartel traffickers. A few of them have disappeared, puff, forever. Also, had personal experiences, admittedly innocently, of transshipment and pickup, decades ago. 🇨🇼🇨🇼🇨🇼🇩🇲🇩🇲🇨🇦

If I understand correctly, every part of the West Indies has been a colony/territory/etc. of at least one European country at one time or another.

[@SebastiansFacts]

Pretty much, yes.

[@callieduval3000]

Yes

Love my Curaçao.

While I do admire the effort off creating this video. It pains me to see that often when most videos about the Caribbean. Doesn't seem to highlight the local population. The sun, sand and beaches are secondary to the people. The creators of the local culture, tradition and general atmosphere. The people should stand tall and center. Hopefully you take that as a constructive criticism.

I want to visit the country

[@bebisterling6571]

Thank you!

[@elektron2kim666]

Curaçao means something like where the Medicine man or Vet guy lives or full of wild dogs or grassing sheep. "Healing" was the best one, though. It could be more simple like "Hospital."

Why is the Pope Catholic?

[@elektron2kim666]

I know about the Danish Caribbean. The colonial history is interesting and scary. Some old and troublesome eBay, I guess.
