In Trinidad, most strangers in the neighbourhood and all offices throughout the country tell you 'Good Morning', it's something that hasn't changed much over the years here and for that I'm grateful.
Most in fact will tell you 'Morning, morning' to which most people will also reply 'Morning, morning'.
Why it's said twice is beyond me.
But what's even more peculiar is that this is not continued for other salutations such as 'Afternoon', 'Evening' and 'Goodnight'. There's only one of each.
But why two 'Mornings'?
It is one of the few peculiar things of our culture that I really enjoy.
