Jamaican notes
Going to be a year in less than a month as I live in Jamaica. You will be surprised, but this country is very similar to Russian provinces. I see the same characters and everyday pictures with the exception of people's skin color and the Caribbean sea's views. So, I don't feel a cultural shock so much as it could be for example in Japan)) (I have never been in Japan)). Anyway, every dog is a lion at home, and I'm still an alien here. Interesting, but I don't feel myself the same in the United States. Vice versa, I'm more "a lion" there than "a dog". But that's the topic for another note)
So, Jamaica.
Jamaica is the country of hummingbirds, jackfruits and reggae for me.
* Hummingbirds males are more beautiful than the females! I made a feeder and cook the sugar syrop every two days for them.
** Never buy whole jackfruit! You will hate it if you need to peel it by yourself! The cause is the natural latex which is inside of fruit. To get sweet "flowers" you need to touch this latex aaand.. that's the end of your job)) Only acetone cleans your fingers)) That's why buy only peeled fruit. It has very sweet yellow "flowers" inside and their taste is a bit like a melon.
*** Reggae is everywhere! I've never been a fan of this music, but it's really nice. Reggae is not only Bob Marley, there are a lot of bands playing good music with the different mood.
It's not accidental that I don't count hashish. Self-respecting Jamaicans aren't smoke hashish and feel shame with such reputation of their county.
That's all I wanted to tell you, it has already too much for my first note..)
Well, do I need to continue?

For me I only stayed a few hours, at the cruise stop of Ocho Rios on the north of the island. I was not impressed.
