travel: 7 facts about Aruba
1. homes in Aruba don't have hot water - the weather here is so favorable that it's unnecessary...
2. there is a constant trade wind that blows over the island - **rarely** there's a day, much less half a day, without both breezes and gusts so a lot of homes in Aruba don't have glass windows but instead thick wooden "venetians" built into the window frame
3. Iguana is protected here - there is still a "hunt for food" mentality even though there are plenty of grocers ...
4. the mass majority of all grocery stores are owned by the Chinese
5. Aruba is a desert island, they get their drinking water from the sea
6. there aren't may laws here and i quote, "because the people are so good natured here, a lot of disputes are worked out between both parties peacefully."
7. there's 1 dog per 3 people ... look up the total populous - it means there's like 30,000 dogs on a 19 mile island.
bonus fact. i'm in Aruba! ;p
