Going to montego bay in Jamaica , what should i wear to blend in with locals? |
Travel Info i am going in 1 week i am mixed race so am already a bit tanned , we are not staying in a resort but going to stay with a friend whos rented a house, as i am not in the safety of a resort i dont want to stand out too much any suggestions on what the locals will wear? still wanna get a bit of a tan though - thanks in advance for any replies Travel Tips i would say ja girls dress up a little more. ive lived here since i was 5 and when i go there ppl that dont know me think i live there. im not really sure what to tell u to bring id have to see it. if u email or im me i could probably help u more. Others I think you should ask your friend what type of clothes to bring so you can blend in better. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just be your self and wear what you want. Have a nice time and stop worrying! No matter what, the locals will able to tell you are not from there!!!(I take it it's your 1st time there) You can wear anything you want shorts, vests, t shirts. dresses. That's more or less what they will be wearing. As for a safety issue, whenever you go any where in the world. Where you have not been before. Always go out accompanied at night Never carry large amounts of money Never leave your drink unattended & then go back to it. You will get a great tan!! Take plenty of mosquitoe repellent & most of all have wonderful time!!!!!!!! p.s Make sure you eat & drink plenty & try anything you never had before. experience Even if you were full black they'd still be able to tell you were not 'from yard' Trust me :) You will stand out no matter what. My advise stop stressing about being tan and safety of resort. Get some shorts, sun tan lotion, slippers and sleeveless tops and enjoy yourself. Check out www.montegobayonestop.com the site as lots of places for you to visit in Mobay. Enjoy Believe everyone when they tell you, locals will know you're not from there, especially if your mixed race. You'll appear "cold" as locals call it. Meaning, you look like you could use some sun. Don't worry about blending in. They wont care. As far as what to wear....down play anything you wear. Nothing flashy, no shiny jewelry, crazy bright colors, cute little dresses. These are all things that are not as standard to wear. It also depends on where on the island you will be. If you're out in the country, of course you wont need any of that stuff, but if you plan on going out somewhere nicer, you may want to dress up. Either way it goes, you won't blend in. Accept your uniqueness, it could actually get you far. |
