    What I learn there this weekend is that the people who live virgin Gorda are so nice,and loving. I was there for three days. I didn't hear a bad word,loud yelling,rude children, ignorant people. Tola people need to learn from the VG people 1 trillion percent. I rather live among those nice lovely people. Tola people are bad minded,wicked,users etc too many negative to write. Vg people you are the Best. It was so different than here. here should be like Thailand if you swear you get locked up.
