As to the response to chet and coleen, i have traveled to jamaica in the past and brought gifts for the children of places i stay. I have brought the neccesities for a friend who just started their own beauty parlor, the necessities for countless people to help out their situation. I can go on and on of what i've done to help out from the kindness of my heart without expecting anything in return. But excuse me if i get a little upset because those same people in the long run have showed no appreciation by treating me like crap on my return visit. Unfortunately i haven't met really sincere long term friends in jamaica like you have. But still hasn't giving up hope. I use to give because i know how it is to grow up poor and homeless i worked my way to a better situation. I started this post because i have experienced being hungry, but thank god i never had to beg. Since traveling to jamaica it has humbled me to appreciate more of the little things i have. I have traveled all over jamaica and i do explore the country and will to continue to go which is why i can't wait to return in jan 2012. Each visit has been a learning experience. I live and i learn.
