The importance of Bermuda
Im drunk. Its two thirty in the morning and I have decided not to go to the famous Fitz Roy mountain tomorrow. I have met some Burmudan girls who are going to do nothing tomorrow, which sounds good to me, as unclultured as that may be. Bermuda. Does anyone know anything about Bermuda? I dont, but after tomorrow I will. I figure thats more important than a spectacular mountain, right?!

Facts re Bermuda!!
Extraordinarily pleasant weather and a distinctive islandscape make us love our island wholeheartedly.
Even though we speak of Bermuda as our “island,” it is in fact composed of approximately 180 islands, linked by bridges, and divided into nine picturesque parishes. But all of our islands feature spectacular beaches, lush vegetation and unique wildlife.
Bermuda’s whistling tree frogs once appeared on our postage stamps .
The Town of St. George, a World Heritage site, is the oldest English-speaking colonial town still in existence.
Rainfall generates our island’s only supply of fresh water.
Shipwrecks. African drum beats. Knee socks. Culturally, our resort island is a unique blend of colonial history and African heritage. This has given birth to our colourful local legends and rich traditions.
As Britain’s oldest colony, its influence continues to dominate our government, educational and legal institutions. You may spot one of our judges walking through Hamilton in a powdered wig, see a bobby directing traffic or overhear a passionate conversation about a local cricket match.
African influences, while subtler, can be found in our dance and music, especially reggae, calypso and the rhythm of the Gombeys.
