For those that want to understand what life is actually like on the island of Aruba, it is recommended that you explore the local villages and especially the market squares.

Further insight into the island's history can be gained by simply visiting one of a number of museums.

For those who have no more than a passing interest in history, the food on the island is a modern day way of understanding the Creole culture.

I am very interested to know the culture of other countries. I guess to visit the local villages would be a great idea. Is it too far from the capital city? Do you think tourists will be welcome there?:o

Have you not read any aruban culture? I guess, we don't have to worry because they said people there are friend and easy to deal with. Just don't show any bad motives they might get angry to you.LOL! What I'm really trying to say is to be more friendly also with them.
