Hi all,

So it seems that people new to Negril/Jamaica seem to get pestered more than people that have been there a few times.

So my question is, how does someone that has never been there not appear to be a noob?

One thing it seems to me (and I do this anyhow) is respect all people no matter what they do.

Like would people get offended if you try to talk like a local to them? Like "whatta gwan" or when haggling with locals "can ya take off a ting". A former coworker that was born in Kingston told me a few things in patois a long time ago.

Anything else that would be helpful?

Thanks,
CM
