I've never heard any follow up about that. Sharon Harris would know and I think she is off island right now.
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

yes, it was a tragic loss for many people

crime is everywhere. you have to worry about it but it is not as if we are afraid to go out anywhere. if you want a good English speaking school, then I would suggest that the best choices would be one of the private schools here. They are quite expensive but are the best. if you and your child do not have proper residency papers on the Dutch side, your child cannot be admitted to public school

check classifieds in The Daily Herald and real estate agents for your best bets. there are several good real estate agencies. the above two are good.

sounds nice...glad you had a good time...thanks for sharing
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

wow, that didn't last long

a visa? you have to get a working permit and a residency permit , otherwise you will be here illegally and working illegally. Both permits are costly and time consuming. If you don't have those before you come, you run the risk of getting deported. I certainly understand about following your dream, but you have to be practical too. Good luck!

Please explain the flag collecting? what is it all about? why did you think you could get a St. Maarten flag here? because you thought people use them on their signatures? I am confused about what this is about. Can't you just google the St. Maarten flag and get it from there? thanks
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

yea, I think it's weird too.

There is new manager there now and I have heard that things have improved. I have no first hand knowledge though. I do know the new manager is an experienced manager with a good reputation.
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

it's not big deal but we were receiving a lot of posts the past few months all with a lot of flags, and seemingly just posts so they could get a st maarten flag..it just seems like spam to me..maybe I'm wrong..
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

you're right Melissa and to the OP, please remove the flags
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Ok, we have to work on that, Norm!
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

and would you believe I have NEVER been there LOL
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

OMG, my mouth is watering. I agree with Philippe. I learn so much from your trip reports. Some of those places I have never even heard of. Philippe, you had never been to mama's Pizza? now that is funny. That is a great little place. we'll have to meet you there some time and hang out. Oh man, my mouth is watering again. Thanks Norm as always for a great trip report. I am simply
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Wow! As always, I am impressed! great trip report! Sounds like you thoroughly enjoyed yourselves,as usual. hope I get to see you next trip!

this is from maybe the 1930's or 40's I think. and they are drying cassava bread on the roof. When there was no flour, they made their bread from cassava.
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

1971? wow! that's waay back!
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Gotcha! LOL
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

exactly, Philippe
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

give up? I don't think anyone would get this one.. I sure didn't know where it was. When you go to Philipsburg, near the RBTT bank .....at the end of Front Street, you cross a little bridge... that's where this is. it's called the Rolandus Canal. and it used to look like that!
