Jamaica is such a beautiful country and it's such a shame the crimes make living safely so difficult. Since I've read one of your earlier posts and saw the images, I've always wanted to visit Jamaica as a tourist!
I totally feel when you say you just can't call it home and I find myself in a similar predicament. The corruption and disrespect in my country is rising at such an alarming rate that I'm just counting days till I can get a licence to practice Medicine in the UK and leave this country. I will miss my parents the utmost, but living nicely is becoming nearly impossible.
I used to take the international press to the very best of everything that Jamaica has to offer. I used to showcase the "Best of Jamaica" which made me see Jamaica for what it should be. I got deluded and was tempted to stand on a mountaintop waving the Jamaican flag. Unfortunately, or luckily, I came to my senses, and faced the reality that what I was showing was NOT so... but it is there! If Jamaica had a different reputation and a strong government, there could be long queues of people waiting to explore the island like any other world renown destination.
There are places that I would LOVE to take my husband but I just CANNOT!
