🧵 Story of the Jamaica-Cayman visa fiasco:
The year was 2005, one year after Hurricane Ivan. Grand Cayman was experiencing an economic boom and a crime wave. As usual, the blame for the crime was squarely placed on Jamaicans. Jamaicans didn’t like that but dem gwaan hol it.
2/ Here’s what’s interesting though, the entrance is full of vendors who run electrical equipment (popcorn machines) with mobile generators.
My view: If we’re going to allow vending inside or within the vicinity of the park, we should facilitate vending properly, or not at all…
Jamaicans need a visa to visit Cayman and that’s crazy to me considering the history.
You can enter Cayman as a J’can without a cayman visa if you enter via the USA (I.e if you have a US visa), but even with a US visa you can’t enter Cayman via Jamaica directly
Susie’s doesn’t take orders over the phone anymore because too many people are making phone orders and not picking up.
I can think of at least 3 easy ways to solve this problem
Here’s the crazy thing though, AI already understands patois and will take the order in patois no issues when it’s here.
