Expat Advice: Culture Shock in Kingston, Jamaica

Submitted by Cessj

What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?

Kingston

What are the most challenging aspects of the new culture?

Jamaicans are in general very friendly people but I found that they tend to keep strangers at arms distance...I'd been here for 18 months before I realised that I'd never been invited to anyone's home! Other expats have said the same.
