      ​@Mike-hm3tr I'm going to Jamaica next week and my friend is asking if my grandparents live near the beach. Lovely lady but I'm thinking Jamaicas beauty extends way past the beach and for me a holiday is not about resting on a beach or by the pool.
      They live in the countryside of Westmoreland and I find it exciting travelling all over seeing the different landscapes. As you said not everyone is as adventurous.
      It's sad as loads of tourists fear the very island they're visiting and the (foreign owned) resorts play on that fear to keep them and they're money exactly where they want it sadly.

    The Beauty of Jamaica 🇯🇲 is what I discovered myself , the slow pace of life!
    They are often saying the average waiting time at KFC Jamaica is 1 hour, but the reason for the long queues is not the amount of customers, but that they are serving really slow, in our terms! But that’s Fine, that’s the Beauty of it! I was at Burger King the other day, 11 staff, 5 customers, still took them nearly 30 min to get me my food looool 🤣 Burger King (at the Hip Strip Montego Bay) was Great though, the best I’ve ever been to! Their work pace is a different matter though, loool!

    @Po'jo the backpacker, Hey Bro. Like how you are respectfully covering Jamaica. Have you considered renting a car in Jamaica. It's not as bad as it seems. Treasure beach (St Elizabeth) is a rarely visited spot in the Island by RUclipsrs. It's one of the coolest part of the island in my opinion. While you are there you can try out Lovers Leap, Appleton Rum Estate, Black River, Pelican bar, rated one of the coolest bars in the world. you have to take a boat to get there and YS falls. I would also suggest you take the Kuutsford Express when traveling. not Expensive and a lot more comfortable. Be prepared for Kingston, It's very much a city. The areas closer to the hills is called uptown, that's where middle class and wealthy Jamaicans stay, Downtown is more local shopping and is fun but be careful when navigating. It's a hit and miss with filming. People don't really care much for it. Stay out of politics. We, Jamaicans are very kind but also very patriotic. Portland is considered by many to be the most beautiful part of Jamaica. Also check out Negril. BTW, while in Kingston, check out the blue Mountains. I think it will fck with your idea of Jamaica..(also, Half way Tree is more representative of Jamaica than Downtown Kingston, You can't say you have been to Kingston without going to HWT,=. It's where downtown and Uptown meets.

    I think it’s just that you don’t like fast food so regardless, if it was the best restaurant on the island it won’t appeal to you . And I agree with one of the other comments more than likely it’s new and different and it will pass just as when McDonald’s opened their stores abroad. There were always lines, and it was always packed until they started packing on the pounds.

    Hey PJ. Great Comparison KFC. Not a fan of KFC as a Jamaican living in NYC. Think it's a new phenomenon that has taken Jamaica by storm that seem to be addictive, like most fast foods. It's not healthy and I believe sooner rather than later most of the people will realize that the jerk chicken and fish on the street corner is far healthier. Like most fast foods that's in the West. Jamaica is now getting their share of it, Because of the health issues I believe many will soon realize it's not good to have too much of it.

    Ok so it’s very interesting what you are saying about ATMs!
    I’m going to Jamaica soon. Should I use cash or card?
    Should I bring a lot of cash with me to Jamaica or use cashmachines or debit card?
    Should I bring US dollars aswell as Jamaican dollars?
    (I’m from the Uk)

      If you’re going to use any bank use scotia i believe it’s called… for me pulling out money came with a $4.16 usd charge.. i didn’t totally mind but for some people they don’t like that… i suggest you carry Jamaican dollars because if you ask how much something is they are going to tell you “$10 usd” or “$20 usd”.. and you’re going to say “nah i carry Jamaican dollars” and then you will get the Jamaican price. Typically it’s less than what it would have been in USD…. As far as how much cash to bring that’s on you bro. I just went to a safe location during the day time Everytime i needed to withdraw money.

    I am really saddened by the KFC review because it really does taste good but sometimes it depends on where you purchase it. For me, the KFC in Greater Portmore St. Catherine near the Texaco gas station tastes the best. Also sometimes during rush hour when the KFC is packed, they may rush the preparation of the meal and that's when you get the
    mediocre taste.
