What is Jamaica like ?

When people ask me what is Jamaica like? I tell them Jamaica is like a farm that grow lemons, yet the people don’t know how to use the lemons. But they invite friends from foreign countries to the lemon farm who buy the lemons at a very cheap price, then they go to their country use the lemons to make lemonade, place it in a fancy looking bottle, place a label on the lemonade bottle that says “Made In ForeignLand”, then resell the lemonade (made from the same lemons the Jamaicans originally sold to them) to the Jamaicans. The Jamaicans then happily buy the lemonade at a price ten times the price they sold the lemons, not because it is better than anything they are able to make themselves, but because it has the label, “Made in ForeignLand”. Then the Jamaicans complain about the high the price of the lemonade.
