Funny story. In 2003 I went vacationing in Jamaica. My family (parents/siblings) often go to the Caribbean Islands for vacation. I’ve even visited a few on the US Virgin Islands. Those pics are on the other Facebook page, lol. There I was, complaining to Osheen about not wanting to go to Haiti with my mom. Osheen came out of the left field and said, “Freddy man, this is not Jamaica, you know.” – In a thick Jamaican accent. He was like, “You want to see the reeeeeeal Jamaica?” I answered, “hell yeah!” This dude brought me to his hood in St. Catherine. Damn, that shit was dope. It was gangsta as fuck. It was like a place in Africa, far from the safety of the luxury resort where I was staying. 

He keeps saying, “this is the real Jamaica.” Shitting on the resort-like how people come to Jamaica and lay on the beach at a resort and then think they’ve been to Jamaica. He was trying to take me up the mountain to meet the bush doctors or whoever, like the rasta gurus, but I stayed a few days and bounced. I was trying to hit Vegas with my buddies from Villanova. Those were my Seaside Heights and Jersey Shore days. Lol. Now I want to return to Jamaica and meet those bush doctors that Osheen told me about. The Caribbean is a fantastic place to visit, live or invest. Every island has its unique appeal.*
