I'm in Curacao. It's nice enough and all but why it's treated like the primo holiday destination?
Every inch of the island is developed. At its heart is a massive oil refinery that renders the Schottegat a poisoned cesspool and is only prevented from leaking out into the tourist areas by a floating boom. There's like one town worth the name. The historic attractions are so heavily reconstructed it might as well be Disneyland. A massive chalet village full of ropey Venezuelan whores. A couple of overcrowded beaches. What's the draw?
