Yardies, at home and a farrin'

[Sbys 0]

I'm always curious about newcomer's reactions and misconceptions about their new surroundings. So, for those whose SO's have never been to the US before their visa was issued; what was the biggest misconception they had about the US?

The first thing Michael asked me was where all the police were. For some reason he thought we would have police everywhere here

Could be all those crime/drama American TV shows and movies. Sadly too, what is shown on the international news usually shows a bad light on American life. Some areas do have all that police presence though.

Julie will your family and friends in the US be going to Jamaica for the wedding? Are you planning a large celebration?

Yes My parents, sisters, and brother and their familiar are all going - and some friends are going down too. We will have about 100-125 guests so not too huge.

Please keep us in your thoughts. Tristan was shot today on his way to work. The hospital won't release any information to me and I haven't been able to reach his mom since she called me this morning. I'm devasated and praying that he will be ok. Please, please pray for us.

Michele-

What part of Jamaica is Tristan from?...did they bring him to the hospital in Kingston? I am sure that he will be okay so just pray and try to stay positive. I know this is probably extremely hard to do but the power of prayer is very strong!!

We are here for you!!!

I agree - I couldn't and wouldn't wait either To me that's a very important part of deciding who you're compatible with - you have to be compatible in ALL areas
