I worked in Kingston for D&G 98 to 99. I lived in a hotel in uptown Kingston
then moved to a gated estate in Manor Park. Buses are not for Europeans
although I met a Dutch woman who was bussing it round the island on her
days off. I had a car and was treated like a minor deity and had a good
time. If you can get into the countryside the people there are much

exist to rip off tourists. But who can blame them when their beaches are

where the locals go. There are lots of ok things to do.
