    Re: Russians in Negril

    The point i was making is that when i go to a country, i don't expect that country to adapt to my palate. When I think of Jamaica, i think white sand, reggae music, the beach, etc. Not Russian cuisine. Nothing is wrong with Russian Cuisine, Italian, Asian, American, Spanish, or other Caribbean cuisine. But to expect it is another story. I guess the fact that i live in a place where you can get it all, makes Jamaica special to me. No hate. Just don't want to vacate to another NYC. I love Jamaica just the way it is.

    Spreadlove,

    Thanks for coming back and explaining your feelings. I dont feel that Miss Anna came here expecting Jamaica to adapt to the Russian palate. Since I know that English is not her first language and not everything comes out in writing on the internet as it does in a personal conversation - I truly think she was just making a rather obvious suggestion that it would be a wise business decision if some of the Negril restaurant owners think about her new, the new emerging Eastern European market.

    Negril and Jamaica would only benefit from their increased visitation, tourism being such an integral part of the local economy.

    And while both me and Lisa love Kingston, if you dont want another NYC, then DO NOT go to Kingston.... (grin)
    Negril.com - For the vacation that never ends!

    Yes yes well said. I bet if you give any of those guys walking the beach $20-$30 they would be back in 10 minutes(45 minutes Jamaican time) with a bottle of vodka and a free spliff.
