Thinking of moving to JA
Well everybody hows it going? Right now I am living in the United States (New york to be specific) and im getting a bit tired of it......Long days filled with honking horns/working a 9 to 5/ struggling to stay ontop of everything/ and the people in the USA are very uptight and imo every1 has a attitude. Im thinking of moving to Jamaica for a more relaxed life style.....I have a few questions though.

1) I am white would I be looking at some harassment coming my way?
2) Im thinking of opening up a muay thai gym how do you guys think that would go over in JA? (Muay thai is a sport that is similar to boxing)
3) I would be looking to move to some small town near the beach any suggestions?
4) I am broke (No cash) and if I was to move to JA i would still probably be broke. Would being white and living in a non-wealthy area be a big problem?

If any1 has any AIM/MSN/etc. I'd love to chat

No more than anywhere else.
2) Im thinking of opening up a muay thai gym how do you guys think that would go over in JA? (Muay thai is a sport that is similar to boxing)
I know what that is. My girl who lived in Kingston was taking Tae Kwon Do, I think what you wanna do is different....might be good.
3) I would be looking to move to some small town near the beach any suggestions?
Negril
4) I am broke (No cash) and if I was to move to JA i would still probably be broke. Would being white and living in a non-wealthy area be a big problem?
LOL nahhhhhhh......I'm broke too and love to hang out in those areas.

If any1 has any AIM/MSN/etc. I'd love to chat
...................Welcome by the way.

Re: Thinking of moving to JA
Depending on how BROKE you are talking, it could be dangerous to live in the areas you could actually afford. Not that that would be any different then any US city, BTW. I'm going to 3rd the question and ask if you have ever actually been to Jamaica? I think you need to investigate a lot before you make this leap.

a graduation trip
All right, my friends and I would like to take a graduation trip to Mexico. We want an all inclusive package that allows us to have relaxation time, be really safe, and not scammed and fun party time. So I was wondering if Inertia Tours is a great company to use. I don’t have any ideas about this company. I need your experienced suggestion about this company. Is Inertia Tour Company a trustworthy company?
