Sorry but I must add that this was at night on the beach. We didn't have any problems beyond the norm during the day.

You know what else I hate? When they act all insulted when you don't stop, that they just want to be friendly and chat, and that there must be something wrong with US because we don't want to stop and chat with strangers every hundred yards down the beach.

Lets cut the crap - they don't just want to chat, they aren't just trying to be friendly - they are trying to separate tourists from their money, and that's it.

Don't get me wrong - in our trips we've made friends with locals, vendors, business owners, and we look forward to seeing them each time we visit, hearing about their lives, and spending money in their establishments. We are not anti-social people, and my wife is always amazed that I'll strike up conversations with random people... but no one who has ever started off by harassing us in any way has ended up as our "friend".

I filled out the survey no problem. I live here because I love the people, climate and weather. My first trip was Aug 1973 and have been living here the last 2 years. I have seen it all and still feel very safe living here in red ground district, Negril. But the thing is I get begged from almost every day. I can't help everyone but I help someone out every day almost. It's just being part of the community. Even though everyone knows me I still get harrast a couple times a month. It's just part of daily life in a place I love so much. Thanks for posting the survey Lisa I just hope something positive comes from this.
