That is so not true for a blanket statement of Jamaica.Originally Posted by westcoast
Good questions that have equally good answers. In the places they are used, burglar bars are used to give the same comfort level that North American homes and businesses enjoy with all the electronic surveillance that is available there. I am sure that when electronic security systems including silent alarms and security cameras become more available, you will see that change take place.
As for the security at hotels, this is a requirement in order to obtain a hotel license, just as is required in many North American cities.
And, you can go around at night by yourself, without someone watching your back, but as a visitor to a foreign country, it is normally in your best interest to have someone with you who knows the runnings. This is wise if for no other reason than to help you from making a fool of yourself or getting yourself into trouble by not knowing the local customs...

yep
yep
however, my stylee & experience has always been to apply the same *customs*-practices & procedures that are in-effect here in-foreign, when i'm in-Jamaica. Works for me. I've found they're similar in a LOT of ways.
..ummmmmmmmmmm
EXCEPT for example (among a few others):::::>>> here in Jamaica, you DON'T go into somebody's house OR YARD without FIRST being told it's ok to enter ----- unlike here in-foreign, where you can saunter into/onto the property,, walk-up to the door, ,,,,, knock & enter
ummmmmmmmmmmm....
which reminds me of something-something:::::::: it MUST-be confusing to Ja-residents when they hear about we-foreigners bring-ing new-found *friends* back to our hotel rooms.
anyhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
be hapPpy
Ahhh, yes, I love this custom!
:-)
i too love that *custom*,
especially helpful in the countryside, when the JehovahWitness-people come around ....
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
don't any of you's take this the wrong way
..i have NUTIN' against JehovahWitness-es
.....a BUNCH of my Ja-*friends* are of that faith
but::>> in Jamaica they '.flex.' a LOT different than they do here in-foreign .... even those (in Jamaica) who stand on the street-sides, handing out their literature/tracks are more laid-back, and don't *approach* you, as they do here in-foriegn.
mi like the Ja-stylee

What would be the local customs that a tourist would not know that could result in trouble?
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm
