Anyone living as expat in Jamaica?
I only have until Monday to decide if I will accept the Job offer in Jamaica. Salary is very low but the job position is a great opportunity for me to expand my skills and study and take board exams in USA. Planning to stay for 2 years and move to NY. Is Jamaica bad as they say? My employer says that I will live in Kingston (near office) for a month until I find a permanent place for myself. I currently live in the Philippines and I know crime rate here is pretty high for locals but not for expats. What I want to know if it is very dangerous for an expat to work in Jamaica?

So did you take the job `multivitamins' and how did you get on? I ask as I am in a similar position. I think my salary will be about the equivalent of 30,000 USD but in J$. - any more info Gordon Barlow (or anyone else would be much appreciated )
