LanguageSayings: Only a dog does return to 'e vomit. Once free of an offensive situation, you should avoid returning to it. A eyeful en' a bellyful. Seeing is one thing, having it in your possession is another thing. Rat mout does sell 'e head. A loose tongue can be dangerous. Wait til yuh trough put an' bubble in it. This is a veritable insult meaning mind your own business. Don' wait till de horse get out de stable to shut de door. Don't wait until the situation gets out of control then to take

corrective action. Wha' evah pon de ground fuh de cat an' de dogs. Finders, keepers. Wha' yuh eye en' sih, yuh stomach will tek. What you don't know won't hurt you.

Economic AspectResources: Barbados has very few resources. They

have small deposits of crude oil and natural gasses, low amounts of petroleum and they use hydropower.

Tourism: Barbados itself is a tourist attraction, because it is a coral island pushed up to the surface by volcanoes. They have nice resorts, and tons of much more interesting activities, like submarine rides, cave exploring, and more!

How they affect the United States: They don’t really export stuff to us but a lot of Americans go and visit Barbados because of their tourist attractions
