Next time I get a chance to use the computer I will do a small report about my feelings about Negril on the whole after staying just over a month but as a quicky I can say a lot of you absolutely terrified me before I came telling of all sorts of horror stories which I hear often which are sad,
I was quite scared but I am a person who listens to others advice but I still like to go and form my own opinions same with people, There are a few people around here who may not have liked certain other people but I like to just figure things out on my own see what I think about it.I always go with what I feel about a person or a place not just stick to rumours or sometimes downright lies and then pass those things on.
So after reading some things about Negril I was sure I was heading out to a jungle full of drama and hostility and drugs and gangs and I would be harrassed every day for money by agressive salesmen /murderers or even worse.
The reality is Negril was PERFECT. I pretty much covered negril! Even if I did not write about it in my report I did go and visit a lot of places , some places just to view the property or go say hi to a worker or a friend I pretty much covered the 7 miles!
All I have heard and seen is FUN and niceness.I did not even get harassed for money Once on this trip.Fewer sales men out there and they seem to be a lot more mellow or maybe they just being nice especially for me who knows HA
In all my years here I have never witnessed anything I did not wish to see and I do not stay loclked up in the hotel I do venture out so i actually have expected to have seen SOMETHING but never have, This trip was my first time I saw something it was nothing major and I must tell you men that perhaps if it is your first time to Jamaica and you love the women and the sexy dancing and the offers of sex...it is not FREE in this country not in the clubs of Negril anyhow.
Please do your research.I know in many countries the men and women there love holiday flings and they like to get laid and its all footloose and fancy free and it is actually FREE and people fall in love or have a fling etc
Negril is different, these girls are not there for a fun fling or maybe to fall in love.This is NEGRIL.They are actually WORKING GIRLS
That is their JOB do not know if it is legal or illegal all I know is it aint free and one girl I asked was charging 100usd so if you are a man and you only last 3 minutes thats the going rate LOL
So anyway back on with what I saw, a very drunk tourist went with a lady down a dark area where he should not have gone anyway, he thought it was his lucky night, he had pulled in the club a nice dancing lady wit woooo thought he could take her down some back alley but when it was time to pay he had no money and got offended which resulted in the female and another girl and about three men beating him with a tree branch, he was not injured bad but she was not happy he had his fun and then said he had no money,I do not know if he was trying to trick her or he was drunk and did not know she was a hooker I have no idea.BUT MEN PLEASE REALISE this is not for free in most cases in the club and do not take foreign strangers down dark back alleys.And think about protection too.They were really not happy with this guy and no-one was helping and the streets were very quiet I was thinking about calling an ambulance if I could remember the freaking number.,I was not just going to leave the guy there all alone like that but understood why the people were mad , a car came and helped him up and took him back he was ok all I am saying is be careful.
If you think your luck is in and you have pulled a glamourous hot looking chick who has the best dancemoves in the world.ASK either her or yourself is this for free?
Coz most likely it is NOT and can lead to trouble if you have what you want and she dont get what she want.
That is the only one incident I have ever seen in all the years and it was pretty much the guys fault to be honest I am sorry to say.
So apart from that the only horror stories I encounteres was one bad look at one bar (she could have just been having a bad day who knows?)
and the mr egotistical maniac but to be fair I think he would be ready to blow and go at anything no matter how trivial I think that is his nature.
Apart from that there were no problems whatsoever, I loved everyone I met had a great time ,There were no stories of theft , robberies, murder, shootings, gangs drugs, NOTHING not a single thing just that one man who didn't pay for his SEX LOL
The place was as fun as ever if not better and I cannot wait to get back here.
I think people here treat you as you treat them and I work like that too so I always seem to have a nice time.I have heard some really obnoxious tourists though who treat staff like their own hired unpaid help.Asking for drinks , like when I want a drink I say
PLEASE could you get me a pepsi and when it is handed to me I say oh thankyou
But i hear some people shout OVER HERE PEPSI
And dont even look at the server when it is placed before them
or ANOTHER OVER HERE
OR WHERES MY DRINK
just rude then they wonder why the server isn't really friendly and complain about it-gets on my nerves.
So I have spoken to everyone I met nicely and politely but thats is how I am anyway so did not have to put any effort in LOL
and I got the response I expected from everyone (apart from ego)
So treat others the way you want to be treated and I just do not understand how anyone can have any issues here.
Some of the loveliest hardest working, creative ,friendliest people in the world who will do anything 4 u
