Sint Maarten

Today parts of the country celebrated the feast of "Sint Maarten". It's all about thinking of the poor and sharing what you've got. Children go past the houses with homemade lanterns and are sometimes dressed up. They sing songs and demand from the inhabitants that they share some of their wealth in the form of a bit of candy or a tiny sum of money. People who refuse to give something are subjected to namecalling through songs. Earlier this evening I had my daughter on the phone and it took her over twenty minutes to sum up the candy she and her sister had obtained.

Your Seduction Style: Au Natural

You rank up there with your seduction skills, though you might not know it.
That's because you're a natural at seduction. You don't realize your power!
The root of your natural seduction power: your innocence and optimism.

You're the type of person who happily plays around and creates a unique little world.
Little do you know that your personal paradise is so appealing that it sucks people in.
You find joy in everything - so is it any surprise that people find joy in you?

You bring back the inner child in everyone you meet with your sincere and spontaneous ways.
Your childlike (but not childish) behavior also inspires others to care for you.
As a result, those who you befriend and date tend to be incredibly loyal to you.
