But I figured it would give me a good opportunity to practice long-exposure shots on my new Canon SLR camera.

More night photography to come in the next few months…

Some interesting notes from the trip:

  • We only saw two American cars on the entire time… And we spent a lot of time looking.  Toyota has the largest market share by far.
  • Speed limits are taken as recommendations.  Most people go much faster.
  • The stereotype of most Jamaicans being Rastafarian isn’t very accurate.  The majority of Jamaicans are Christian and don’t smoke [marijuana].
  • Jamaican food is the shit.  Jerk pork, plaintains, ackee and saltfish, rice and beans, escoveitched fish, etc.  The best place for Jerk port in Montego bay is Scotchies on A1, just west of the Holiday Inn.

Protip: Air Jamaica flies directly over Cuba. Other airlines have to go around.
