No pressure, no cry...391 giorni fa
 
Jamaica is the 4th largest island in the Caribbean, has the 7th largest harbour in the world and has more churches per sqaure kilometre than any other country.

Interesting facts aside, the city centre of New Kingston was not as expected. So many people yet a great deal of space (a little like Australia in this respect). Houses, through small and slightly more delapidated than Brazillian houses, are surrounded with comfortable amounts of space for children to play in and families to grow their own produce. Though very polluted and run down, it´s British origins mean that in a lot of ways it was very commercial, being able to buy little luxuries like Bounty chocolate bars and Ribena that I can get back home.

On the familiar side, the beach front was exactly how I had romanticised Jamaica to be like. Dreaded Rustafarians, chilling in little makeshift bars along the beach, eating seafood, smoking and bouncing to Reggae tunes in the warm Caribbean sea. The people of Jamaica have a great lifestyle - relaxed, happy, free.
