Metroji clue #101

Bridgetown in five emoji

Barbados

The capital of an island that left the Commonwealth realm and became a republic in 2021. It is flatter and made of coral rather than volcano, unlike most of its neighbours.

What each emoji refers to

Mount Gay has records going back to 1703 and uses them to claim the oldest rum still in production.
Flying fish and cou-cou is the national dish, and the fish is on the country's coins.
Rihanna grew up here and was named a national hero in 2021, on the day the republic was declared.
Kensington Oval has been a Test ground since 1930, and Garfield Sobers learned the game a few streets away.
The west coast is calm Caribbean water and the east coast is Atlantic surf you should not swim in.
