Oh wow... So the coffee plantations or coffee agriculture is still thriving in Jamaica? In Suriname it dwindled down, as more and more people are moving away from agriculture. Which is sad really, because we do have the fertile soil.

The cultural differences seem so familiar. My Asian grandparents are just like that, you need to serve it to them and they don't go in your fridge even if you tell them "feel at home"... In Suriname there are also people (ethnicity doesn't matter) who also don't accept food, drinks, clothes, etc. from some people, because they don't trust the energy of others or don't know the energy people have, who want to gift them stuff.

While I can see where they are coming from, I'm regarding that Western I think 😅
