The "REAL" Jamaica |
Tubing on the river |
Bridge over troubled waters??? lol |
in a culture used to " throwing" ( littering), a commendable feat! From there we traveled to my favourite Jamaican
spot....Juicy Patti! Were we had beef pattis that truly melted
in your mouth. I tried a Jamaican cake named "Bulla" that
was delicious. We then traveled to a fantastic spot on a river with gentle rapids that tourists can tube down, raft,
kayak, or boogie bored. There was a spot down
the river where tourists could stop and swing in
the river by rope. After the raft trip there was a
great spot on the beach where tourist could grab
some food, drinks and souvenirs. On my journey
at the river I ran into two Jamaican friends I had
met last year on my trip here who greeted me with open arms, it was like I had never left.
Jamaica has truly become my second home, as
Professor Piper says. I will be sure to see them again on my trip back in a few months. Both
places showed the three of us that being "green"
and being sustainable is very possible and can be
profitable, it showed me that we can use nature in business without destroying it, and if we are lucky and work hard enough can even improve it. It felt good to know that the business students CAN help
and make a difference in the world, we can make an impact on the environment, just not with our
footprints. I feel this message is lost in the classroom, business students can make a difference, just
like nurses, just like teachers, but we have our own way, we just have to go out there and find it,
Jamaica is that place for me. I would strongly recommend any student to come experience this
feeling. Anyways I digress, after the interview at the river we headed back to Green
Castle Estates, where we reflected on the amazing day we had, had a few more laughs and examined
the majestic scenery back up into the hills.
