That brought back a few memories. I had my honeymoon in Antigua back in 2000 and then went back 5 times. I loved the place, the history, people, everything my ex wife and I even came close to buying a home at English harbour.
A little sad to see crime has risen, back then, it was not really an issue.
As for dogs, it did sound like a scam but you can send dogs around the world for rehoming. There are two very genuine and successful charities here in Thailand that do exactly that as we have a massive stray problem.
Have a great weekend :-)
Are you from the Caribbean? I see you are in Thailand now.
I read that crime has risen, but, I am wondering if they meant during covid when many places had higher crime with nobody working and no money coming in. I have never seen crime there and I have been back probably 5 or 6 times. I guess I could find crime in a sketchy area, but, you can find that anywhere, yes?
This really seemed pretty sketchy to me, and I hoped was taken advantage of. I will give to charitable donations, but not usually people hawking it on the streets.
I am glad Thailand is taking care of the problem. Poor dogs! That is harsh living on the streets there! Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving your words.
#MarketFriday loves you!
