Should I move to Trinidad or Jamaica? - Page 2

Comments: From what I hear Trinidad is better than Jamaica, also Trinidad is more of a melting pot than Jamaica, Jamaica relies on fishing and tourism where Trinidad is an oil producer on top of fishing and tourism, I read about all this and I also hear Jamaica has one of the worlds highest crime rates and Trinidad's crime rate is lower, but I have never been to any of the two islands, I'm a Californian.

Comments: What is this really? how many of you people have actually been to Jamaica? You talk about the oil that Trinidad has... Will they have it in 10 years? You talk about Jamaicans being violent... how many Jamaicans do you know? Did you know the current PM of Trinidad was a teacher in Jamaica? I laugh at all of you.

Comments: Adam, as a Jamaican living in the U.S, I must say that I found most of the comments rather offensive. Jamaica does have a high crime rate, but criminals in Jamaica are as they are in most places- the exception not the rule. I'm not sure who these Jamaicans are that our Canadian friend knows but he's moving with the wrong crowd or perhaps he's simply prejudiced?
Jamaica is similar to other places, the U.S included, in that the poorer the area, the greater the crime rate.
Jamaicans as a people are proud, education oriented, and friendly. Where you choose to live is clearly your choice but I would suggest that you start with an open mind. There are places in the U.S I wouldn't be caught dead in. Do your research and make an informed decision based on facts, not the ignorance of others.

[Urban] and rural, city or country is great to be here in 'Jamdown'.

Comments: To be honest Trinidad is as bad as Jamaica. I have a fiance and many friends who have been robbed in Trinidad. They are all born there and do not intend on going back, they are all from different areas. Now crime rate is going up everywhere so if your settling in a country based on the crime rate, you might as well live in space. I plan on moving, my fiance says Jamaica and I say Trinidad. My thoughts are not based on crime but based on getting to know his family. I've been to Jamaica 5 times I've also been to Barbados, I would pick Jamaica over Barbados any day. The people in Jamaica have always been helpful and kind. If your wife has prejudices about Jamaica then maybe its best you stay away from there and find a totally different country to go to. Hope [..] she doesn't live to regret those prejudices, after all there are other countries worse than Jamaica. They are just not in the media light! If your still unsure, why not stay in both countries for 6 months to get a feel for your self.

Comments: As a Trini you should probably ask how many of the Trinis giving you advice have ever stayed in Jamaica. [Jamaican] people are way too busy hustling to bother with you. In Trinidad the robbery is different. We're a great place to live if you have a foundation and understand the culture. If I were you I'd pick [Jamaican]. Westmoorings is where most white people live. That does not make it safe.

Comments: Hey I was now online researching what I can do to get out of Trinidad.I was born and raised in Trinidad for my whole life, and I live in the expensive area Westmoorings. Honestly I wish I did not have to say this but if you do not have to come to this country do not, Westmoorings and no where in Trinidad is safe anymore, horrible crimes are committed every where here, the West (nice area) is the biggest target area. For the sake of my 3 year old daughter I wish I could leave. You have heard this from the horse's mouth.
