Rob is right on mark with this re: BB's post
I have refrained from posting to this thread because my Jamaican experience is so different from most on the board. Remember I first came to the island to take a job and not as a tourist. I lived in an upscale section of Kingston (Beverly Hills) and socialized with the upper middle to upper class folks.
I only wish some of you could understand that much of Jamaican society is not like that which you see in Negril and other tourist areas.
I posted a picture of an event I attended last month where the men, including me, were dressed in tuxedos and the women in gowns. This was met with a certain amount of surprise as most of you have never experienced proper Jamaican society.
While it is true that remittances are an important part of the Jamaican economy it is not the only thing that supports the country.
I fear that many of you are judging this book by the cover you see on the beach in Negril.
Just my experience.
