Macy - I like that "real living as opposed to "stuck" living" ... many in Jamaica cannot leave. Expats can. Certain Jamaicans can. I know two women that got visas this year to leave and they visited Canada - one for work and one for fun. Neither migrated but both enjoyed the travel experience, something so many do not get to do. And as we know, travel gains us all perspective.
My expat friends though really live "real" there and are free to go anytime they want. They just don't - some have hung in for 30 years. Some for 15 some for 10...and all are still there.
Truth is everyone's reality is different, I think that's been discussed to death.
