    Tom that lady may not realize that you take pleasure in nature because for a Jamaican it’s an everyday thing and where she sees nothing you see everything. She is sending you towards the developed area where she sees value. ( Now am philosophical 😂).

You people believed only negative things about Jamaica, like where you are living is heaven. There's more good than bad happening in Jamaica. But Jamaicans never see the good only foreigners. That's why they said if they listened to Jamaicans like both of you, they would be so scare to visit
