Jamaicans are much friendlier than Americans or Europeans.

Don't take it personal, Colin,
but for some reason you reminded me an old Arab story.

There was a blind man, who was blind since the day he was born.

He prayed Allah every day and one day Allah granted him his wish,
he made him see, but only for 5 seconds.

When blind man got his vision, he saw a donkey and went blind back again.

From that moment on,
every time somebody was telling how beautiful something was,
the blind man asked:
"is it as beautiful as donkey"?

The story is over 1000 years old......
