Culture and traditions Netherlands Antilles

 Traditions and customs

Superstitious beliefs abound. For example, if you surprise a housewife cleaning the yard of her house, it is not for cleanliness, but to chase away any crawling animals. When guests outstay their welcome, the inhabitants declare that all you need to do is to place a straw broom upside down along an exterior wall of the home for everyone to leave five minutes later. A red ribbon placed above a door of a home or office keeps the evil eye away.
