Quizfrage

What is this black and colorful sculpture that I keep coming across on Curacao?

Antwort

This sculpture is a Chichi.

It represents the sensual and shapely ideal of female beauty that is prevalent on the island. The Chichis are individually painted by local artists. Each figurine is unique and therefore a one-of-a-kind, wonderful souvenir. There is a Chichi store in Willemstad, where you can watch them being painted live.

If you would like to paint your own personal Chichi, you can do so at Serena’s Art Factory on a Tuesday or Saturday morning from 9am to 12pm. Have fun!

The Chichi figure created by Serena Israel in 2008 can also be admired under water. The diving attraction is located at a depth of approx. 10m.

  • Quiz Question

    What is a Maribomba?

    Answer

    The yellow paper wasp (Polistes versicolor), which is common on Curacao, has the funny-sounding name Maribomba in the local language Papiamentu.

    This name has its origins in the Bantu language Kimbundu, in which wasp means “marimbondo”. Once again, the connection between Curacao’s slavery past and the influence of an African language on the creole language Papiamentu becomes clear.

    We were told that the sting of a maribomba is quite painful. But so far we have been spared.

  • Quiz Question

    Who or what is Hato?

    Answer

    Hato is the name of Curacao International Airport (CUR), the only international airport on Curacao.

    There are also the Hato Caves or Grottoes of Hato. These are a network of limestone caves. They are located opposite Hato airport.

    Perhaps you could take a look at them on your departure day? The planes to Amsterdam don’t usually take off until the evening anyway. From the cave entrance you have an excellent view of the airport, the taxiway and the runway. Worth seeing!
