At every family gathering I've been to this year, someone has mentioned something from BFP (it helps that it's an election year, of course, so people are in the politics-talking mood anyway); it's even come up at meetings - so I think that the blog as an avenue for comment and critique and analysis and discussion could also be a big thing in the region, politically and socially. It has also given her more of a world view: Since I began reading blogs from the Bahamas and Jamaica and Trinidad and Guyana and St. Kitts and Grenada and St. Vincent and Aruba and Cuba and the Caribbean diaspora in the US and Canada and the UK, I think of myself more as not just a Barbadian, but a Caribbean person.
En cada reunión familiar en la que he estado este año, alguien ha mencionado algo acerca de BFP (ayuda el que sea un año electoral, por supuesto, por lo que la gente está metida en lo político de todos modos); ha sido mencionado incluso durante reuniones -así que veo los blogs como una vía para comentar y criticar.
