Since childhood, local people learn to speak four languages, so no misunderstanding should arise. At the same time, the local dialect seems to be a combination of Portuguese, Dutch, Indian, and Spanish. Just in the same way as in the Netherlands, the natural environment is treated with special respect here, and this can be understood by looking at the real "paradise on Earth". Local nature disposes to being relaxed about everything, including a relaxed attitude to life, which is really worth learning from people living here. Besides that, they are very polite and tactful but require the same treatment.
The local cuisine is just as rich and multifaceted as the culture of Willemstad. A diet consists mainly of fish, tropical fruits, vegetables, cheese. Fans of exotic food must try such dishes as iguana meat, "Kadushi" (cactus soup), "Sopi Kami Piska" (soup of meat or fish with banana or cereal), "Sopi di Piska" (fish soup with coconut milk). Well, those who prefer more traditional dishes will like boiled shrimps with greens, “Keshi Yena” (baked mixed meats, cheese with spices), “Krokesh” (fish balls). When it comes to alcoholic beverages, be sure to sample "Blue Curaçao" liqueur and Amstel beer, which is produced not only in the Netherlands but also here.
