i am a softie - if someone truly looks like they need it - i will give a guy 100ja for food or a beer..
but
i DONT want a drawer full of souvenirs.. i buy some - for gifts, but i dont take allot of stuff home..
its the higglers , not the beggars that get on my nerves.. i dont want drugs while i am walking with my kids - also dont need them when we are sitting down to eat at alices either.. if i am walking by you, that isnt a invitation to start walking with me, i also dont need a guide.. a firm no from me usually works, but recently at mi yard, i was sitting drinking a beer with Ali-C, and there was a kid - maybe 20 yrs old being shooed out to the gate, he was trying to get us to pay him for singing a song..it was obvious that he was very hungry - he was speaking to the lady shooeing him explaining his stomach was hurting.. it was all a little crazy.. here i was sitting with Ali-C talking about his music and where he was playing that nightand i got a cd from him, and this guy is trying to sing to us for some food.. anyways, when i walked out he was still sitting by the gate, and i gave him a couple 100ja.. i know it wasnt allot -but you know what - i feel better about that - then any of the souvenirs i bought that trip..
now i know some tricks of getting around negril with little negative exposure to my kids. there are places to avoid, and finding a local taxi driver with a good fare to get around is a must - because walking the west end isnt for everyone..
