Jamar, I loved reading your point of view as well....and I know what you mean. On some of my first trips to Jamaica I met some really good people and some really great friends. They didn't have much but they were happy. They didn't have much but the invited us into their homes and shared what they had just as a friend.
When I came home I remember telling similar stories of how these wonderful people in this "third world" country could teach Americans a lot about what is really important in life.
I am glad you got out, enjoyed Jamaica and had an experience that changed your life for the better, that is amazing!
