I am from Trinidad and Tobago, the country with the world's greatest carnival, home of the Soca Warriors who created history in World Cup football last year, home of the steelband, calypso, soca, 2 Ms Universe and 1 Ms World winners, an exemplar in racial and cultural diversity.

So you see I am genetically programmed to be friendly, and I looking forward to making friends with people of different nationalities.
