Reflections on Jamaica. What's wrong with us?

[Cyndalie]

Some of us are just introverted. I find it hard to approach someone and start a conversation, I'm more likely to let them come to me. And I'm even more likely to just listen until I get to know someone and get more comfortable around them.

My sentiments exactly. We stayed at the hotel across the street where the cabs hail you. Having cars pull over on the side of the road while your attempting to cross just to say "no thanks, just crossing" 8 times to go 20 feet did get annoying.

I wouldn't say I felt "safe", but you let your body language do the talking and they get the idea - If you look for anything you will find it, but if you keep to your business like us introverts do and stay polite you manage to enjoy your surroundings and appreciate that others treat you with the same respect.

I had a wonderful time as I always do in Jamaica (Negril) or "Jamerica" (Resorts)... I have to say I kind of like the resorts better, where you can get the "local" feel by walking down the beach but on resort property you dont get hassled, you dont deal with money (all inclusive) and the food is always ready
