We live by CST, that is: Curaçao Standard Time. It simply means we live by our personal, individual watches. So do not get angry if your local friends arrive late (very late!) to your appointment. And do not try to teach them 'the right way', after all you're on vacation and in no rush! Enjoy! Relax! Break away from the everyday! Leave a Comment

All places take USD$$, but you will not always get USD as change. In general I think if I can remember the exchange was $20=NAfl 35 (or $1 = NAfl 1.75). It seemed that everyone used that exchange rate and people were honest about it. I only brought $20 bills with me and that was fine. There were some ATMS in Willemstad and while I was driving around some of the banks had outside ones.

Although this is a Dutch island, it is a real mutlicultural community. There are about 50 nationalities represented amongst the inhabitants of the island.
People who grow up on the island speak 4-5 languages. Dutch is the official language, but they also learn and use Spanish (Venezuela is 35 miles away), English (good for tourism) and Papiamento (local creole) from a very young age. Most also learn French or German.
Many students from Curacao will go to the Netherlands for University. Leave a Comment
