Jamaica

Cousin Matt's wedding was in Jamaica the weekend before last. Good times, strange times and drunk times were had. Jamaica is a strange place, mon. First off, it's strange to be a white dude where nearly all the black people are either a) destitute b) serving you c) scamming you or d) all of the above.

Jamaican resorts, it seems, do their level best to shield you from the realities of the island. This seems strange to me, really. Why would you want to visit a country if you weren't interested in that country? It is a beautiful place, though. More musing on this later.
