Nope. Staying in Mobay....free place to stay and Sumfest is there. I'll be in JMiss's old hood. But if we're on the island at the same time we'll make it work.

YOU CAN BE LUCKY TO RENT A NICE PLACE FOR CHEAP OR GET A NICE FAMILY TO RENT FROM REASONABLE PRICE WITHOUT RIP OFFS. OR YOU WILL BE PAING TONS. LAST I CHECKED RENT IS ABOUT $10,000 TO $15,000 JA A MNTH FOR ONE TO 2 BEDROOM HOUSE WITH KITCHEN AND BATHROOM AND A LIL LIVING ROOM.

IF U FIND THE RIGHT ROOM ETC AND IS WILLING TO WORK DOWN THERE THAT WOULD BE NICE (UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME ROTTEN RICH MOUNT A MONEY).

I know a place in Hanover... I was staying there renting a studio for 400. u.s amonth.. let me know Ill give you her info

for someone thinking about spending the summer in JA after graduation this is a really helpful thread. Does anyone know if the cost of living has gone up at all in the last few months?

I think it depends on where you going to be and what lifestyle you're after. The government here does shopping survey's and they were saying yesterday that the prices have gone down a bit. Petrol is going up I think.

Keep an eye on the Gleaner newspaper. One thing I actually noticed (and other people told me) is that crime at the moment seems to be moving out to the country, away from Kingston and Spanish Town. I was in ST earlier in the week and it seemed eerily quiet. Except for the taxi depot - which is always crazy.

thanks for the info, karst. I'm planning to stay on the north coast...I'll definitely keep an eye on the gleaner!
