Wish You Were Here
Sorry to disappoint those of a nervous disposition, but so far we have not suffered the following things that people warned us about before coming to Jamaica.
1. We have not been hit by a hurricane, unless you count the ones that come in cocktail glasses.
2. We have not been plied with drugs, although it was nice to be offered. It made me feel really cool.
However we have discovered two things.
1. If you say "yo mun" to everyone they will think you're a native. (If they have their eyes shut).
2. In Jamaican Grumpy's real name is a swear word! One of the bar staff nearly fell over when he told her what his real name is, so just as well he has a nickname.
