Inspired by Manda's - My Experience in Negril

[sandy-girl]

Rob, I watched "Smile Orange", but I also recently watched a movie called "Heading South" set in Haiti in the 80's, it also shows the
relationship with (some) tourists and the (some) locals as well with similar goings-on that happen in Jamaica. It reminded me of Jamaica and it was actually a pretty good movie.

Here's the movie trailer. It's on Netflix if anyone wanted to watch it.





The Beach "boy" or "gigolo" phenomenon is not strictly a Jamaican thing Sweet Dawta, it happens all over the world. If you've traveled to other places like I'm sure you've have,
you would know that.

In one or two countries I have been tourists have thought my partner was a beachboy! One fairly old big fat white lady even must have thought it would be ok to share LOL
Holding out her sunscreen to her gigantic naked @@@@ does not ruin my holiday though makes for interesting conversation at the bar later! and of course the Ja men think no-one is supercharged like they

Yes, I have. In the past 6 yrs I have been to Jamaica (2x), Mexico (6x), Canada (1x), 3.5 weeks in Europe this summer (Austria, Denmark, Italy, Spain), several trips across the US by plane, train and auto including Alaska. I have planned and was well prepared for all these EXCEPT Negril, even the pickpocket in Barcelona. If what I experienced is a Beach 'boy' gigolo phenomenon, that I am better off staying away from ALL beaches especially with kids. You are right, I should have known, especially since I took my kids

What makes Jamaica unlike anywhere else for ME, there is always something worth returning for. It's more than just one beach, one waterfall, one style of resort, and one vibe. It not a see one, see it all type destination.
