Bottle Return

Is B’s Recycling the best place to take returns? I thought I saw a bottle return window at the Massy at Worthing (or maybe it was PriceSmart?)

Do you need to separate your bottles and remove the lids? Or just bring them all in together? Thanks for advice!

Rum Shop Signage

I am planning on returning to the island next summer, and would like to find 1 or 2 Old Brigand advertising pieces that you would find in a rum shop to bring home. Any guesses on how challenging this would be? Any antique or second hand stores you’d recommend?

Help with Sir Arthur Lewis Scholarship at UWI Cave Hill

Hi everyone,

I’m applying to UWI Cave Hill for the 2025/2026 academic year, and I’m interested in the Sir Arthur Lewis Scholarship for OECS nationals. I have a couple of questions and would really appreciate your help:

  1. Does anyone know when the application period usually opens?
  2. I’ve applied to study both Law and Environmental Science. Since the scholarship doesn’t cover Law, would I still qualify for the Environmental Science program?
  3. Are there any other scholarships at UWI Cave Hill that cover full tuition and living expenses for non-Barbadian citizens?
  4. The application link on the UWI Cave Hill website isn’t working. Does anyone know where I can find the correct link or how I can proceed?

I’m asking here because I couldn’t find a dedicated UWI Cave Hill subreddit. Any advice or guidance would be amazing. Thanks in advance!

The airline I’m landing in BGI with is AirCanada and the airport I’m leaving BGI with is Virgin Atlantic to SVD.

What is the procedure after getting off aircanada. Haven’t been to BGI in a while. Also,would there be enough time to collect my checked bags n make it to my connecting flight ?

Grocery shortages

Hi Everyone!

I'm currently in Barbados and just visited the Massy's in St James. They were sold out of many staple products (cows milk, onions, chicken breast, etc.).

Does this happen frequently, or only occasionally? Does this happen at all grocery stores or only the one I visited? How often are the shelves restocked?

Do you drink tap water?

I'm a Bajan living overseas for the past 5+ years. Prior to leaving, I would drink tap water happily. However every time I have visited Barbados recently, the tap water seems to have a strong taste of bleach and I end up buying bottled water during my stay.

Do most bajans still drink tap water? Or do you buy water instead?

Looking for folks to split a fishing charter with! (First week June)

Hey all!

The wife and I are planning a trip to the island the first week of June '25 and are looking for 2 more people to split a 6 hour offshore fishing charter with. Locals or anyone who stumbles across this post planning on staying at Sandals is welcome to reach out!

Should be about $750 USD total, so split two ways. Probably leaving from the Bridgetown marina.

Barbados has a night rider problem.

As I write this, it is 2am in the morning and I have been awaken not for the first time by the screaming noise of high powered motorcycles racing up and down Tom Adams Highway. This has become a regular nightly occurrence and with cars also. It wakes up families and is a real public nuisance that the police are unaware of or incapable of dealing with.
