What On Earth Is Bermuda?

[@regiochuchi260]

as I kid I thought the Bermuda triangle (and quicksand) were going to be a big problem later in life

[@wailingalen]

For real!!!! I remember thinking I hooe I don’t encounter quicksand ever!!! And watching Tom and Jerry I remember I don’t run into a mean dog named Killer

[@christopherdieudonne]

haha!! Me too. Quick sand definitely freaked me out as a kid. I hated seeing that in tv shows and movies.

Note the WHITE Roofs on nearly all the buildings. Being a heavily populated island, fresh drinking water is sourced from all the white roofs, which were once covered in lime mortar, which also has anti-bacterial properties. These days a special white paint designed to reflect ultra-violet and maintain water purity is used.

[@jeaninnalexis4318]

Bermuda is probably one of the most beautiful islands I’ve ever been to. It’s absolutely breathtaking. I would go again and recommend others to do the same

[@62Cristoforo]

As a teenager I spent many summers in Bermuda, not through personal wealth or anything but through the gift of distant family relations. The beaches are indeed spectacular. Coming from a large North American city this place was the first time I was able to see the Milky Way. All fresh water comes from people’s roof tops and is stored underneath their homes in cisterns. I haven’t been there in decades, but I do remember being warned about the strict British style dress code for men and women when going out in public, if we were to ever venture in to town. The Bermuda accent was like crossing proper high class British with a Jamaican patois twang. Lots of sunken treasure in and around that island from centuries of looting and shipwrecks.

@@62Cristoforo I spent my teen summers there as well. I actually worked there(off the books) for a tour operator

I've been to Bermuda many times. It's my absolute favorite place to vacation. It looks tropical but it's not. It's quaint with plenty of beaches and golfing. The houses (for the most part) are huge and it is expensive. Hamilton is a very nice town and St. George's is quaint with a historical feel. And the beaches. Horseshoe Bay is my absolute favorite.

[@62Cristoforo]

Yaaay, Horseshoe Bay. As a kid I remember that place; paradise. We also went to smaller, more secluded and lesser known beaches like Grape Bay.

As someone who has never been to bermuda and knows no-one from there. I enjoyed this video

[@Aviator27J]

If I had the money to spare (all things considered), I may live there, but one downside is that while the beaches and water are gorgeous, the average water temperature isn't too warm. No surprise given its location, but I'd probably consider the Caribbean or something else to get that nice warm water benefit.

[@cushsmith2623]

We're the top three most expensive places to live because we dont pay normal taxes so the price are outrageous

[@markmh835]

Bermuda = the largest (by population) remaining outpost of the British Empire. I sometimes dream of the pink beaches of Bermuda. I wish I could go there. ❤️

[@markmh835]

My correction: I just learned that the Cayman Islands have surpassed Bermuda in population .

[@cushsmith2623]

The pink beaches are misleading it's caused by the decomposition of a type of single celled organism that primarily lives on coral rocks and other marine shell life but, im guessing global warming is effecting are coral reefs which means less places for it to thrive to contribute to the pink hue as corals and rock break down into sand sediments

[@JackSparrowTheCAPTAIN]

We need more videos like this, please!

[@clockout5265]

We live in Charlotte, NC, and go to Burmuda often. It's a relatively quick flight. The people are very friendly, and the islands are very safe (low crime). Great beaches, restaurants, etc. It's a really great place. Check it out.

[@Prashob2198]

I heard first about Bermuda 🇧🇲 was in 2007 at the time Cricket World Cup that hosted by West Indies..It's very beautiful islands in North America

[@mackermaldrill2656]

It's hardly too far away. It's only two hours away from most major US coastal cities. It's a great place to visit, but as the video states,most things are expensive.

[@denismeehan4649]

Shakespear's The Tempest was based on George Somer's shipwreck in Bermuda while on his way to relief the crumbling settlement of Jamestown. When I lived there (63-70) I recall the dress standards were quite strong. Bermuda Short's legs had to be four inches above the knee. At any of the beaches, bikinis were verboten and men had to wear boxer style bathers rather than what I would now refer to as budgie-smugglers. Happy days. Bermuda was covered in cedar trees until a bight wiped them out in the forties. These allowed for a strong ship building activity. The Spaniard, Juan de Bermudez released some pigs onto the island. This was common practice in case sailors were ever shipwrecked on any uninhabited islands. Feral descendants were running loose at the time of settlement by the Forty Thieves.

[@Tuffydipstick]

I went to Bermuda in September 2019 for my 70th birthday. Stayed at Grotto bay beach resort. I mentioned to locals about the Bermuda Triangle and they said it all a myth. Lies in other words. I went just after the Bahamas had a bad hurricane. It got very hot. 🥵

It would be a cool place to vacation for a month or three but it’s too small for me. I’d be very familiar with it in three days and have it memorized in a week. After that it would feel like a cage and the inability to leave quickly and easily would cause me to be irritated by every little thing that I’d hardly notice if I lived in NY or California.

[@Mario87456]

The Bermuda Triangle should be avoided at all costs due to how dangerous it is, and it’s disappointing that planes and boats don’t try and avoid the area.

[@MisterSpeedStacking]

3:13 literally look at any asian city, especially the philippines, and bermuda doesn't even compare to its cities. Bermuda, or Gaza for that matter, aren't particularly dense at all

[@BS-vx8dg]

The title of this video "What on Earth is Bermuda?" made me think the video would explain the geography and/or origin of the island of Bermuda, which is rather oddly placed in the middle of nowhere. I've always wondered if its origin was volcanic or something else, so I clicked on it. But one minute in, it appears this is going to be another in the endless series of videos on the utterly non-mysterious mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. Accordingly, I am out, I am downvoting the video (for dishonesty) and I am blocking the channel from appearing in my feed.

@@BS-vx8dg The triangle chatter was short and only the intro to the video. Not the focus of the video. More or less: "You've heard of the Bermuda Triangle? So let's talk about the territory called Bermuda."
