But apart from Tim I can’t see anything in what people are writing that demonstrates a critical shift or event that made you feel differently when you are actually there in Ja
Again I think it is getting older, perception and the rise of the internet and social media that underpins a lot of this fear, especially for long timers active on the forums. But this fear has become so tangible for some it’s spoken as fact, and then to add further mix up those people still visit, but don’t come back on here and share all the positives of there time in Jamaica... which are your truthful experience...!?
Why is that ..... ?
My understanding is Jamaica was a very violent place back in the 70s.... yeah tourism wasn’t developed as today so it’s logical that crimes against tourists was low
But with the mass increase in visitor numbers, the percentage of crime against tourists is not any greater.
I fail to see how some of what is written is logical..
And yes as we get older the youth them worry us, but that’s often our problem not theirs. I don’t intend to be one of those miserable old people who feel unsafe around the young uns...just because they are present and we become out of touch with their reality..dosent make them any more dangerous
I still move around Negril beach and west end on my own when I’m ready, I don’t feel any unsafer. I don’t at night, but I never did, and wouldn’t on foot in my own country.
OT don’t compare yourself to Trump, walls only contain people... and it seems there are enough mental walls on here anyway.
