that day, my barber was off-duty

:-(

Jamaica is a tricky place, when it comes to when a business is open and when it's closed.

for a foreigner like me, this is a weird circumstance, and takes a lot of mental effort to navigate all those who's open who's closed and when peculiarities:::: it's really confusing & frustrating.

for example,
HurryHurry (aka Sinclairs) is closed on Thursday (or is it Wednesday) to let the employees have a day off, in order to have a full-staff for the prime-time weekend selling.

a lot of other Jamaica business do this, too.... some Wednesday ... some choose Thursday.

THEN,
there's the 7thDayAdventist businesses which close on Saturdays.,... and but some will open on Sunday (such as Mr.Browns Hardware in Lucea)

While in Negril,
i remembered a seeing post about Cherrios, earlier that day, before i left for Negril.

so,
i peeked into HiLo to see whagwan.

yep yep

Cherrios were there, and a whole bunch of other from-foreign stuff was in there, TOO..!!!..

* whew *

after being on-island for 4-weeks,
and shopping in Lucea and other Jamaica China-man supermarkets, and other places,
this HiLo visit scared the bee-jee-zus out of me.

it was like being in another country --- a foreign country.... NOT Jamaica (as I'd been experience-ing)

:-(

my my my
you/me/we-foreigners in these tourist towns, like Negril, are so-spoiled....!!!..

i could NOT believe what i was seeing on the HiLo shelves.

while in HiLo,
i remember-ed my To-Do list and the *need* to compare & contrast the HiLo produce with what's available in Lucea-market and other non-tourists places.

* sigh *

but,
let me just say this::::>> Folks ..... go to Sav, Lucea, SOME-place(?) else to do you produce shopping.
