You are "spot on" and I don't think I could put it any better.
I first came to Jamaica on a whim some 30+ years ago for a week between a week each in both Puerto Rico and Merida Mexico. I didn't know what to expect but I did my homework and I had a great teacher (Peter Bentley) who showed me the ropes and introduced me to great people all over the island.
Some 30 years later, I now live in Jamaica and have learned humility and respect in dealing with my fellow Jamaicans (yes, I now consider myself a "Jamaican" if not by birth).
Yes, I got it and now you got it too!
Nuff Respect!
