Downtown Oranjestad we get FORT ZOUTMAN an old part of the dutch defense of the island. There is a nice museum in it whitch shows parts of the history of the island aswell as some documentation of fauna en flora.Every tuesday night there is a cultural performance with dancing, foodtasting and/or life music.
Here some of those typical Arubian houses. A low piramidal roof for passat winds, borders decorated with the own island blend of traditional decoration: a mix of old french designs and indian motives whitch have to keep te bad gosts away. Old houses were build with coral stones and adobe for a cooler place. Ocker earth with Aloe Vera was used as paint.
The people of Aruba a very friendly. However, some of the waiters will lure you into double-tipping them. Every restaurant on the island automatically adds 15% to the bill, although some of the waiter's deny this fact, and ask for an additional tip. Get an itimized bill and check it.
Aruba is said to have the third most beautiful Carnival in the world after Rio Brazil and Trinidad in the Caribbean, but it ranks of course number 1 in safety amongst the top 5 most beautiful Carnivals.Carnival in Aruba is a sense of celebrating humanity, celebrating being happy and Arubans are good in doing just that.

Everyone there speaks English, Spanish and an island dialect called Papiamento. The American dollar is accepted everywhere. Go up these stairs at the mall and you can spend all the dollars you want.No problem, go have fun.
Life in Aruba is pretty laid back. They don't appreciate snapping fingers and inpatient people. You're there on vacation....so sit back... relax and let them come to you.
Aruba has four languages. English, Spanish, Dutch and Papiamento. Tipping is always appreciated, 15% is the norm and more if the service is above normal (which it probably will be).
A great time to go to Aruba is in February, then there is Carnival on the Island. (Unfortunatly I missed it)
If you are a wind-surfing fan then you have to go to Aruba in June. Then there is the Hi-winds Pro am windsurfing tournament. You can find the tournament near the Marriot Hotel.
Although the native language of Aruba is Papamiento, almost everyone speaks Spanish, Dutch, and English. The people of Aruba are some of the friendliest I've ever met.
