Locals vs Outsiders Follow Up @TheDeadbone1961 asks...
@TheDeadbone1961 commented and asked:
Thank you for the videos! In your experience, what might be the local vs. outsider differences in expectations? Is it too simplistic to say locals are easy-going, while outsiders are always in a hurry? Having lived in Belgium, I found Europeans more interested in conversation, wine, and food than politics or culture wars. It was refreshing :)

THE PARABLE:
"Once upon a time, there was a Jamaican civil engineer living in New York City who hated his job. He followed his passion, started a sideline business, quit his job, escaped the rat race, ran off to a tropical island in the Pacific, and started a tourism business so he could give tours of the island to pretty girls every day! He now lives a nomadpreneur's dream life, while helping others do the same!" Read more and download Jamaican on Saipan at: https://jamaicanonsaipan.com.
