Classic

This would be funny, if I understand what the hell the Bajans are saying!!!

Swing up, swing down...go below, go above...when yuh see such and such don't turn there

Good luck

"Swing Above"
"Turn Below"

Missing from his routine. Any Bajan over 50 when asked for directions will say: "When you get down by Brathwaite Shop, swing above until you reach de playing field. Now look for ah big mahogany tree dere near Perkins farm, and on de next right turn below"

Completely lost all over again.





@Oilah: we post de same time. exactly.

the directions are clear and simple, for instant the only thing i found wrong is that they did not describe Brathwaite shop where the guy drank rum or how many botsie o the mahogany tree

One ting bout traveling in Bim yuh could always get directions...I en sure yuh could always decipher dem

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

There is no north, south, east or west in Bim. Those words will create confusion. Is always de above side or the below side. It could be the "in to town" or "out of town" direction, if yuh lucky to find a bus pole.

Fuzzy could tell yuh what's a bus pole.
