Blast from the Past - Reminiscing on growing up on the island...

[Gina O.]

What are your favorite childhood to teenager moments on the island?
Feel free to share anecdotes, pictures and videos ( ooh gosh), favorite spots.

I remember The Pub, Club L'Aristocrat, Gomez plein, Happy Peanuts, Survival, Landhuis Brievengat, Play Back Show competition, The Goede Hoop People, CAT Production parties with Issocco, Pagara in front of Moos, Standing in Roodeweg, in front of SPONG. End of year parties at WTC, Zeilhaven, Seaquarium, Op verzoek, Pillow Talk, so on & on...

I remember going to Punda Saturday afternoons and standing there just "watching" different people in their cars with airconditioned windows driving by.... I also remember seeing the some of the guys standing there leaning forward and backwards, forwards and backwards, en zo voorts... does anyone else remember that...?

Oh my goodness I think you about covered them all.. Mine were definitely the times when we had to take a bus to mambo from Punda.. Cause we did'nt have car. hanging out on Gomez Plein after school. Salinja afterhours..TRUCK I PAN people!! Christmas and New years on Gomez Plein when everyone was back from Vacation or school. Moos' Pagara remains a classic! the Pub's Tie Night! aiaiai The Gypsy Jump Ups! those were the days! Kudos to the question I hope more people will share their trips down memory lane! Music, was dancehall dream...and the infamous Mi ta kore den mi starlet noboo tur e pekinan ta bira loookoo.. and basic one Esaki ta pe chick nan cooool esaki ta pei gainan rustigg hahah

Oh my goodness, Gomez plein is the HIT! That was the place to check out the guys..... hahahahaha. I remember Coconut (wasn't that the disco @ Seru Parera), there was also one disco (don't remember the name) I used to go to in Jandoret (matinees). Also I remember the owners of the Pub used to own a bar across the street from Princess Beach. To be honest I still do the afterhours @ TRUCK di pan when I'm in Curacao (can't take that away from me!)
