Quizfrage

What is a Maribomba?

Antwort

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.

    What is Fuik Day or Fuikdag?

    Answer

    Fuik means fishing net. Fuik Day is a festival on the water in the Fuikbaai.

    Fuikbaai is a bay in the shape of an elongated fishing net. Everything that floats on the water is sailed into it. Fuik Day is a big happening with lots of music, food and drink.

    What started with a few boats from friends is now a well-known event that takes place annually on the first Sunday of the year.

  • Quiz Question

    How was the relaxedcuracao.com logo created?

    Answer

    Sun, palm trees and the sea can be found on all tropical islands…

    But typical for the vegetation and the dry climate on Curacao is the Kadushi cactus. Its arms branch out from a stem, which makes it more aesthetic than other cacti. It is also edible and therefore serves as a source of food (Dushi Kadushi soup). A Kadushi cactus often stands alone on a hill – behind it only the turquoise blue sea, the sky and the sun. This image has burned into our memory so much that we have created our logo from it.

    Our logo colors also reflect the colors of the Curacao flag: dark blue and yellow.
