 Languages Spoken: English (official), French patois.
 Religions: Roman Catholic 90%, Anglican 3%, other Protestant 7%
 People and Culture: England, France and Africa met the Caribbean here a few centuries back. They've learned to get along-to the great enhancement of the island's people. Two Nobel laureates hail from St. Lucia-Derek Walcott, who won the 1992 Nobel Prize for Literature, and former Princeton University professor Sir Arthur Lewis (1915-91), who developed what became known as the "Lewis Model" of economic transition to an industrial economy, and won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1979.
A resident or national of Saint Lucia is called "Saint Lucian". The Term used to describe things from here is "Saint Lucian". For example, "Saint Lucian food".
 Tipping and Bargaining: Tipping is practiced occasionally.

* Try to use local currency. Foreign coins cannot be exchanged and will be useless to the person receiving them. Foreign paper money requires a trip to the bank for exchange. However paper US dollars are accepted almost universally.
 Food: The fertile, volcanic soil is a cornucopia of produce, especially abundant in varieties of fruit. Equally abundant fresh seafood contributes to making this island's cuisine internationally renowned. Callaloo soup is the national dish; it is often joined on menus by other Creole culinary delights.
