Mmmm....patties.

It's awesome that you went to a party in a garrison!!!!!.....wow, it's good to see you made it out alive.

As for your friends letting you stay at their place I bet you felt it was an honor to stay there. A much better experience than staying at a 5 star all-inclusive resort if you're hoping to see what daily Jamaican life is like....at least that's what I think it would be like staying with someone.
