That's the exact attitude, Ragga - I have met and befriended some of the biggest hustlers out there - but they know that stuff is not gonna fly with me. I have also met some great people, and been given a necklace by a friend (no expectation of any return), an extra bracelet from a crafter that I frequent,..... lots of great experiences.

To me, the characters are what make a big part of the trip - Especially in Negril, lots a dreads (teethless, cross eyed, dirty ones, lol) who hang around the tourist spots and come up with great lines about how they want you to sit on their face (usually said soon after hello) - definitely makes for a laugh for the night.
