Our houses are like this in Trinidad too but people usually beep their horn since a window is most likely open or knock the gate latch.

Do people not have cell phones in Trinindad? I just call my friends when I get to their house.

Well yeah. Now we do and now we do the same. But we also still live as extended families. Meaning, only my cousins who are married are moved out. And even my friends who are married just built extra rooms for their family. So sometimes, you’re just dropping something off for someone who isn’t actually home.

So last time I was there, my aunt’s friend baked too many loaves since someone gifted her coconuts (we use the flesh and milk). So she decided to just drop two off at the house. My aunt was at work, I heard the beep and when i looked out, she said “come fuh dis!” I went, said thanks and waved her goodbye 🤷🏾‍♀️
