Kingston's city life is among the best - and the worst - in the
Caribbean. There are excellent restaurants, first class hotels and
great shopping deals - try the Chelsea Galleries or the Sovereign
Shopping Centre. The downtown streets are lined with hordes of street
vendors known as "higglers". They have a style of commerce that
is as uncomfortable as it is unwelcome. Kingston is not a shopper's
paradise!
The city has a few excellent museums, such as Devon
House, the National Gallery, or the Arawak museum. Bob Marley fans are
in luck. Kingston has the one and only Bob Marley Museum (Bob Marley
was a Reggae legend who died of ganja-induced cancer at 39). Much
of Jamaica seems to follow Bob's lifestyle, and the deadly influence of
drugs on daily life has really been detrimental to the look and feel of
Kingston over the last 25 years.
Kingston is also the home of
the Jamaica Campus of the University of the West Indies. The UWI
campus hosts a virulent type of "victim" academia, similar to that of
Palestinian and African academia. North American and European
travellers can expect vigorous and unpleasant verbal dustups with
folks from this part of Kingston!
In the harbour you can visit
Fort Charles, one of about 24 forts that have protected Jamaica against
invaders since 1655. Port Royal is the former pirate hangout, now
restored as yacht moorage and, naturally, a bar. Historians will
love the many historical sites in Kingston which have been
restored by the Jamaica National Heritage Trust.
The "greens"
might say that Castleton Botanical Gardens, Hope Botanical Gardens and
the Caymanas Park are the lungs of the city. In truth, all of Jamaica
is an explosion of botanical wonders. Castleton is a wonderland of
flowers and shrubs, Caymanas has horse racing on Wednesday, Saturday
and holidays. There are no decent beaches in Kingston; the nearest
being Hellshire Beach (1/2-hr SW of Kingston). World class cricket
matches occur in Kingston, and there's lots of good football (soccer),
too. Jamaica has almost made it to the World Cup several times.
Live
outdoor theatre is especially entertaining. There's no reggae concerts
anywhere; most reggae is by small house-bands, and it tends to be mixed
with ska and Trinidad calypso in tourist areas. The dancing is
excellent. The churches are filled with awesome voices on
Sunday. While much of Kingston appears utterly hopeless,
there is hope in Kingston on Sunday morning!
