Being here in JA, is great but you do miss some of the foods and drinks that you are used to eating and drinking at home everyday. So, today we are going to go into New Kingston to one of the Hotels and I am going to get an American meal. If I could find a starbucks I would be happy too, but I know no such luck, so I will just settle with an American cheesebuger or pizza. If they have italian I would settle for that aswell.

you can take someone out of the states but you can't take the states out of someone. :whistle:

Jakeswife you are soo right, Joe's mother is a wonderful cook, and she has offered to try to cook me an American dish, but I just need one fix, a cheesebuger, pizza or starbuck, then I could hang for another month. Ha Ha.

But on a serious note, Jope's beautician has offered to do my hair for me and I am fine with that, but I don't want to offend her, by not payong her a fair price. In the states I pay around 45-50 US dollars for a wash and set, Joe says I shouldn't pay her that much. Now he has given me all kinds of crazy reasons, but I don't want it to seem like I am flashing money, and I want to pay fairly for a good hair-do. Question, do you'll tip your beautician? My SIL has said 50 is too much too, and I shouldn't give her that much, she is only asking me for 25. I don't want to offend anyone.

$25 US...that's great. Tip according to your happiness with the end product. I would probably add $10 or $15. What area are you in Rox? :thumbs:

girl u r a jamerican now, act like it. if she quotes u a price pay it but please don't feel obligated to tip her. if she does a good job then u can add another $5 to the mix. don't give her the impression that you have money to throw around .$25 US sounds about right.

Thanks Sunny for the weather up-date. Thank you to all who has wished me a happy b-day blessing.

Jawi, I hope you start to feel better today, being sick is not a good experience. I saw that picture yesterday, with those heels, I say if you got it show it.

So true. I don't ever crave American food while in Jamaica...but I do get tired of chicken (not a big fan of it anyway)...so as long as I can get fresh fish (steamed/fried/grilled), lobster and veggies I am good to go.

As long as I got some saltfish I am good to go :P Great there we go talking about food again...this thread is so bad for my waistline :P:lol:

Roxy, I agree with them, you wouldn't pay more their for a meal just becaue you would pay more in the States, my mom went to JA and got here hair braided they charge her $2000. If I had enough time while I was there I would get my hair done there and those hair do be stepping! I don't think a $50 tip is too much.

Jawi, that's funny. All my cousins want to eat is American food while I'm there and I'm like hell NO! When we were in Kingston they went to Fridays, Marcel and I left and went to a Jamaican restaurant not too far from there.

....when it hurts to look back and you're scared to look ahead LOOK beside you and I'll be there.....

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore... and who always will.

So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

Either a bratwurst, salsiza (sp) or hot dog baked inside a soft pretzel. Or soft pretzel in place of bread with turkey and cheese. OMG.....heavenly.

Why in the world would you want to eat only American food in JA? :blink: I don't even want to eat American food here in the states :P
