Best of the Best 2013 left me with mixed emotions. The show itself was superb, all of the artists delivered top quality performances. However, several of the advertised entertainers did not perform. Mad Cobra, Cocoa Tea and Chronixx were no-shows. This left many, myself included feeling disappointed. I will give the promoters credit, Shaggy and Frankie Paul were unadvertised acts that filled in nicely for the missing performers.
I had an accident on a Jamaica coaster bus, what are my rights?
During my time my sisters and I travelled on the Jamaican coaster bus from Kingston to Montego Bay. The 'ducta' told us the buses seat five across.

New Year's Eve: What Is For You - Part 16
When New Year's Eve rolled around, the day of the party, I started to get ready from early in the morning. My father had been baffled but I'd explained to him that going to a formal event, at least for women, was an all-day process. I went to the salon in the morning for a shampoo and blow-dry, a manicure and a pedicure. Adrianne and I had gone early hoping to avoid a crowd, but it seemed that every other female in Kingston had the same idea, and that we all shared the same salon. The place felt as crowded as a popular nightclub.
