Russians in Negril

[Miss Anna]

Guys, have you noticed that places in Negril that cater for italians serve pasta and places that cater for americans serve burgers? When you fly over for a weekend you can survive on jerk chicken alone and call it exotic experience, but when you you come down for 10 days its not so easy. Plus I'm not demanding anything, just pointing the way to make extra $$$.

Sorry. this is hilarious to me. I have traveled to all corners of the earth and had cravings for krispy kreme donuts...mexican... etc, but never once expected a country to cater there(their?) menu to me. If the market is huge for Russian food in Jamaica an enterprising Russian will soon open a place stocked with vodka... Until then Mobay airport has vodka dirt cheap and tell you peeps to stock up.

My guess it will be an enterprising Jamaican restaurateur.... (grin)

You read my mind! My husband's heritage is eastern European and I just found a way to relocate to Negril. Thank you Miss Anna!

I was just in Negril for 11 days and not once did I have rice and peas (not that I don't like it ....but) I prefer mashed potatoes and veggies and every place I Had dinner (with the exception of the jerk chicken drums) I had mashed potatoes.....I just asked for them and it was no problem.....same with the veggies.....whatever hotel they are staying at if they ask for vodka to be iced at the beginning...trust me the bar tender will have it for them for the rest of the vacation......It would be a good idea to talk to the hotel owners (since you are organizing this - or seem to be) and request it for your guests. I have found that most people bend over backwards to help if they know about it....I think it is wonderful that you have arranged this......hope everyone enjoys their stay....BTW I had the opportunity to live in Moscow for 6 mos back in 2000.....and with the exception of Canadian Bagel on Tervoskaia/Yamskaia I couldn't find much Canadian food in Moscow, or mexican, english, or scottish LOL.... and few signs in English (only Cryllic alphabet)....passed museums for six mos and never knew what they were ...you might want to speak to the tourist board in Moscow about that
(just a little joke)
