First up, calibishie is far from the best place to go as a tourist.. far! 2. In order to flag a ride down you don't use a thumbs up. That's a sign for "okay". We see it as a friendly hi. You need to flatten the palm of your hand and gesture minisculey up and down. In the gesture of "slow down" or stop. Someone will likely stop and ask what's up? Why are you stopping me?/flagging me down?(slowing me down).

typically when we hitchhike in Dominica we would extend our arms and not give a thumbs up and its usually at the back of a pickup truck or some other truck not someone's private car unless you know that person.

You won't find a ride that easy in Calibishe on a Saturday as it's pretty remote. Sat and Sund, public transportation is pretty rare. If you want to enjoy a decent beachfront, head to Toucari or purple turtle beach/Batibou (which is private owned so you may need to contact 1st).

I'm really grateful for the respect you show to natives. I'm a bit older, and traveled as soon as I could at a young age. So that meant: living in the shaodow of WW2 and Vietnam vets traveling ahead of me, and they did not leave a great impression of what americans are. Brash, uncultured, disrespectful, uneducated, unsophisticated, and looking down on natives while handing out life lessons from their high horse (ob not everyone, so hold your fire in the comments, it is a stereotype but like most - it has a foundation that created it.) I felt so embarrassed if anyone asked where I was from because I knew the reputation from native friends. But.....if you think china is communist, you don't know jack about china. It is about as communist, as north Korea is a people's democracy. Just because it is in the name, doesn't mean it is actually true anymore.

I was there a week ago for a week and hitched everywhere. Did get a few lectures off locals that I had no rights to come to their country and hitch-hike, I just gave the peace sign and carried on without incident. Only place that was impossible was between Petit Savanne and Delices (that I walked dripping with sweat) due to the road being closed from the bridge collapsing some time ago. Definitely the most hostile of all Caribbean countries I have been to regarding hitching... Also they tried to get me to pay them for taking pictures near the Roseau boat port, but I refused and lectured them I shouldn't have to pay to take pictures of town, this followed with quite aggressive language thrown my way.

China invests in other islands as well. If you want the infrastructure, you go where the investors are I guess.

Why Dominica? Just look at the map. It's the front door of the panama canal, the backyard of Cuba. It's a choke point. That's why China is happy to invest and lay down infrastructure. Added bonus it's very near Venezuela & Guyana . And guess has a huge untapped oil reserve? If it ever comes to a confrontation with the USA. It's a high value strategic point
