Bermuda is a tropical resort island. Naturally, Bermuda culture would follow the likes of the Caribbean islands. Wrong. Surprisingly, Bermuda culture is of a distinct British and African influence. Bermuda is Britain’s oldest colony. Its influence continues to predominate in several institutions, which includes the government, educational, and legal. Judges continue to don the powdered wigs, bobbies can be seen directing traffic, basketball pales in comparison to cricket popularity, and a pint of ale is a more famous way to cap off a day’s work than beer. English plays a crucial role in Bermuda culture, as the main form of communication. About a 65% of the Bermudians are Christians. The Bermuda culture only allows them to go to school from ages 5-16, after which they are to find work. While most tropical islands boast of their interesting Creole dishes spiced with local flavors, local Bermuda dishes are of British influence as well. Don’t go looking around for special spicy dishes, but expect to find “bangers and mash” instead. Thus, most aspects of Bermuda culture, from government to sports, are done the British way in Bermuda.
