[[ continue-ing ]]
i forgot to mention,
that day,
on my way
via route taxi
from Lucea to Negril (to go to the barber)
i had to make a couple of stops
first,
i had to stop at Mr.Bigga
to give him a dvd-copy of those videos i'd taken a few days before,
with info on how to find them on YouTube & on the negril.com message board.
mi-SAY (to self), as i sat in the taxi on the way to GreenIsland:::>> ".. if i stop, and get out of the taxi,,,, that'll mean I've got to catch ANOTHER taxi, with an additional fare, to go to Negril..."
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
that (above) was my from-foreign brain and mentality talking ..... that was NOT the Jamaican-side of my likkle-pea-brain speaking.
i immediately switch to my Jamaican brain-cells.
.
.
.
when the taxi passed the GreenIsland HighSchool,
i lean-ed over
....i was sitting in the front seat...
and told the driver:::>> "..I wanna stop, and drop-off '..this..',,, [[showed him the DVD]] at Bigga's blah blah raa.."
he-SAY:::>> "..Sure.."
we reach Bigga's
taxi pull onto the shoulder in front of Bigga's
Mr.Bigga is sitting in the shade at his shop, on his throne
he see's me .... waves... i wave.... i jump out the taxi .... trot to him ... he get's up ... comes toward me ... i hand him the DVD .... "..I'll call you back later about this.." .... "..OK.."
i turn around
trot back to the taxi
get in
we pull off::: onward to Negril
mission accomplished
NOT one of the other 3 passengers in the route-taxi said a word.
:-)
'cause THIS is how they roll in Jamaica, with the '..tourist-don't-use.." route-taxi system
.
.
* sigh *
i sure-love that Jamaican route-taxi system
BUT DON'T you other tourist/foreigners use 'em ----- the route taxi ain't for you
lol

[[[ continue-ing ]]]
ok.... where did i left-off..??..
.
.
on my way to Negril
[[ continue-ing ]]
.
.
my next-stop was the Negril craft market,
down by the Negril airport
to take/deliver MissPauline's copy of her DVD
of the stuff i'd shot a few days before
after a quick visit with her,
i went to the roadside
to catch a taxi to down-town Negril
but,
remembered i had ONE-MORE stop to make
.
.
.
.
.
this lady ~~ MissPrecious~~ is the SWEET-est person you'll ever meet in your life..!!...... EVER..!!!..
i'd made an attempt to make/record this video (above) on my first-visit to the craftmarket area.
but,
there was a GrandLido female staff-member sitting in the bus-shelter with MissPrecious, and the staff-member wanted to mess with me.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
:-(
she didn't want to be in the video,
and
wouldn't let me photograph
unless i gave her some money to move out of the way.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
she was playfully relentless in her determination to mash-up my video-mission.
me being me,
and not Patois-proficient enough to tell her to bumba-whatever blah blah raa raa,
opt-ed to walk away,
and return at another time to-do the video (above)

[[ continue-ing ]]
ok......... two more videos for the night
it's late, and i wanna go to bed
..
.
firstly,,,,,, before leaving Negril,
without getting my haircut & trim
:-(
i made my way toward the BeachRoad,
to get a last-look at the beachfront
and a couple other things.
as i crossed-over the bridge,
past the craft market,
i looked at all the nice cars & vans that belonged to the craft vendors
* sigh *
some of them be-doing VERY-good with their craft-vending thing-y
..dem got some sweet vehicles
nevertheless,
i saw this guy [in video below]
, whom i hadn't seen in a looooooooooooooooooooong time
i approached him to chat.
.
.
.
.
after shooting this video,
he and I chatted for a loooooooooooooooooooooong time ::::: about 30-minutes
'twas a HEAVY-discussion::: i won't bore you-all with the details ..... and i don't wanna prick no-Ja-bubbles...
i'll just say this:::>> we didn't chat about cold-est RedStripe, sunsets, ganja, etc etc etc.

Make him an offer - I have one and love it.
I'm surprised your conversation only lasted half and hour. He is hard to get away from once he starts with this stories and viewpoints.
