An Expat Talks about Moving to Kingston, Jamaica
What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?
Kingston
Name three things that you wish you had brought and three you wish you had left at home.
Definitely ship your goods over - furniture etc in JA is very, very expensive and to be honest there isn't a great deal of choice. It is possible to find some great hand-carved furniture but generally I found it too heavy, ornate, and not quite to my taste. I thought that I could sell my goods in the UK and use the proceeds to replace them in JA, but the resale value just wasn't sufficient to cover the costs of buying new. Do shop around for reliable, and low cost shippers though.
