Please inform me all about trinidad?

Question

now let's not get lazy with the one liners. i have never been there but want to come. i usually go to aruba. one of my best friends moved from aruba to trinidad and i'd like to check it out. i want a local's view point. i am a very outgoing friendly guy who likes to mingle with the locals. i want to know truly if it is ok to do that. would i/we be safe and all. i hate rumors. tell me about the beaches of course, such as the type of proper attire for the ladies, what is allowed and what is not. i like to respect the locals customs.i like the rather smaller places to stay. i can read the web sites about trinidad but i feel that it's best to ask people either from there or have been there. post me here or send me an email through yahoo answers please. i thank you in advance
