The Jamaican motto is "Out of Many, One People" and this is
a true description of Jamaican people--all shades, all races living together.
We think most of the reports of "unrest" in Jamaica have been a bit distorted,
applying mostly to a few Kingston urban areas. The local Jamaican
people are warm, friendly, open, honest, church-going folk, who work in
fishing and agriculture. They are very easy to talk to and love to
laugh. A warm smile is the quickest way to make friends. Confer
with the villa staff prior to doing anything risky with strangers.
