Dominica November 2005A week-long trip to the mountainous Carribean island of Dominica (pronounced "Dom-in-EEK-a"). Primary rainforest covers over two thirds of the island, making it arguably the most untouched island in the Caribbean. This is not your typical tourist's Caribbean. The best beach is accesible only by rappeling down the side of a cliff, and the loudest nightlife hotspot is 15 feet in the air, in a treehouse surrounded by the cacophony of jungle sounds.Dates of travel: Nov 18, 2005 to Nov 26, 2005 Duration of travel: 8 days Photos taken with Canon Rebel XT 350D |
We also visit a market near Ross University, an offshore medical school for US students. The school provides the coursework in order to qualify for US medical board licensing exams. Caribbean medical schools like Ross University are often attractive because of their low tuition, and more importantly, considerably lower admissions standards.
Like most expat situations, the students (and spouses) who come grudgingly are full of complaints (this IS a third world country). But those who embrace the opportunity are rewarded with a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
