I've now got home from Jamaica. Fundamentally, Jamaica sucks for the reasons in one of the blogs below. I feel sad for the overwhelming majority of Jamaicans, who I found to be lovely people. Sure, customer service can be surly and the place needs some serious work to be a viable tourist destination, but this is small scale stuff. Most Jamaicans are very decent, passionate people who really deserve to live in a safer, less corrupt, place than they do. This is a subject much discussed by the Jamaicans I met.
I've no idea what to do to deal with the corrpution and crime that's slowly destroying their society. I hope that somebody works it out.

Corruption's a difficult one to solve, because it all comes down to the individals being willing to forgo a backhander for "the greater good". And when you're skint, a bit of baksheesh is always welcome.
