Though I somewhat enjoyed the article it reeks of the kind of nonsense about Caribbean culture that those JCBs("just come back") like to perpetuate. They seem to have the most incite about the Caribbean though their only real contact with the culture is through parents and grandparents who left the islands decades ago. They believe that their summer vacations count as real experience and are the ones that people not from the islands get to hear about. "Obeah" for instance is not a Jamican thing. It's an Afro-Caribbean thing with direct roots to Benin in Africa, the birthplace of what popular media calls Vodoo. Arguably it's practiced more in the southern Caribbean and Guyana than in Jamaica. Not to mention Haiti. All this to say is that these know it all "foreigners" really paint a picture of the Caribbean that is thoroughly inaccurate. But I suppose they are the ones with access to running water and flushing toilets so maybe people like me who actually live here are not healthy enough to express our own experiences as eloquently as they can after coming on vacation.
