1. Is reggae a big thing in Jamaica still? (i love reggae)
2. What is the countries relation to the UK? I know that the queen is still the head of state, like some of our former colonies
3. What is the standard of life like there?
4. Is it dangerous to live in Jamaica? due to crime and hurricanes
5. How true is the stereotype of Jamaicans? (smoking weed etc)

1. Reggae is considered old school dancehall has become the dominant Music.

2. The Queen is respected but the Jamaican government makes their own decisions.

3. Once you have money you are good.

4. No it is not dangerous, some communities crime can and will happen to you. But overall Jamaica is relatively safe.

5. It's true, about 15% of the population smoke weed on a regular basis. and about 50% or more have tried it. There is about 3 million people living in

Jamaica, so about 450,000 people smoke weed on a regular basis mostly the young people. I am probably being conservative and it is possible it can be lower, but that should be the close to the real number.

Cool, thanks for the answers but 1 more question :)

What parts of Jamaica would you recommend to visit, as a tourist?

I would love to go there, just for the hot weather and beaches. Both of which, lack in the UK lol
