Darwin , General info:
9/10

Darwin is the northern most city in Australia. Being very close to Asia, Darwin exhibits a tasty urban asian flavour with amazing night and day markets every week. Being a coastal town Darwin is known for its beautiful ocean sunset and sailing however due to the tropical climate, crocodiles and box jellyfish mean the oceans aren't swimable. The weather in Darwin averages a maximum of roughly 31 degrees (celcius) every month of the year. Darwin is the gateway city to Kakadu, Litchfield park and the plethora of Northern Territory's beautiful national parks and waterfalls. With the tropical climate comes Darwin's very down-to-earth people who epitomise the 'Aussie' culture and cliche.

Sorry Ram,I have to disagree with you on this one : 2. Making One Word Comment: There might be poelpe who just want to be top commentators list but there are genuine poelpe who leave a one word comment because these are the few reasons :1. They wanted to encourage their friend.2. They are in awe of what they read and don't have the right words to write at that time.3. They might be rushing for times and wanted to let their friend know that they did read it and think it is a good one.4. Sometimes when I browse my friends blog and I found on that day, there is no comment, I will drop one word comment, not so much my name is in in the top commentator but to let my friend know that I was there and read his/her post. We all need some encouragement some times, sometimes a hug , sometimes a pad on our back, sometimes a short comment.So my dear Ram, I am here to disagree with you, ha ha ha ha ha.So might turn out to a word comment :).Jamy

Saturday morning market near here the Roseau River meets the Caribbean Sea. The market vendors start setting up very early before dawn to ensure they get good stall locations. The market is a great place to buy frsh fruit, seafood, and spices. There is less variety but still good prices for vegetables, meat and goods.

Roseau , Different stuff:
9/10

Sundays in Roseau are very quiet and more store-fronts and many restaurants are closed. Best to plan for a nature-day on Sundays. However, make sure your transportation is planned because buses and taxis will either not be operating or at much less frequency.

Roseau , Don't miss:

The emerald pool is a definite do-not-miss. Most natives know where it is. It will feel cool at first but it takes only 2-3 minutes to get used to it. The water in the pool feels very pure and soft against your skin.

Roseau , Food:
8/10

Restaurants are as diverse and unique. They offer a vast array of mouth-watering culinary delights that will satisfy even the most discriminating pallet. These restaurants offer a wide range of international selections, including succulant Creole cuisine, blending and reflecting our island's Carib Indian, African, French and Oriental influence. Your menu choices may include beef, goat, fish, and chicken, as well as a variety of savory soups and salads. Vegetarian entrees are also widely available. You may also want to try some tasty local favorites such as "San Coche" (saltfish boiled in coconut milk) served with dumplings and green bananas and "Callaloo" soup, which tastes like spinach and is sometimes flavored with crab meat. (Callaloo is made from the leaves of the dasheen plant.)

Roseau , Hotels:
9/10

There are no world famous hotel chains in the city. The most famous hotel is the Fort Young Hotel. In addition there are several small family owned establishments within and on the outskirts of the city.

Roseau , Safety:
9/10

Dominica is one of the safest places to travel in the region. There are no poisonous snakes or insects in Dominica. Tap water is safe to drink, but since it is sometimes drawn straight from Dominica's many rivers, it has a tendency to turn brown after heavy rainfall. It's better to drink the bottled water available almost anywhere.
