    My favorite happened last Oct when we were just in for a one day cruise docking. After hitting the usual Negril stops, we went to the little shopping center attached to the Hi Lo for some shopping. I avoided all the souviner shops with non JA proprietress, I want my money to stay in Jamican hands when all possible. I found a shop with a sweet lady, it had been raining all day and she was pushing me hard. I finally told her no worries, I was there to spend and got down to haggling. I ended up spending around 100 American and she was in tears with happiness and started throwing in bracelets for the kids and a lighter. I promised to look her up next time and I will this July.
    Worst was my husband and mine first trip. Not Togo into to much detail, we were on the beach and an older guy asked if we needed any...uh...consumables which we were low on so I said yes. He walks me to the side of the stand and pulls the product out oh his shorts! Ew. Was to stunned to refuse and the crotch smoke ended up being wose than ditch smoke.

    Quite simple. Anything that has been "hand made" and doesn't say "made in China" on the label.
