in a strange land full of exotic people, places, and things, the best entertainment sometimes is not of the flesh, but of the unbridled fun of sightseeing and trinkets.

In Phillipsburg, the Cruise ships come in from the US, Puerto Rico and abroad. The fat out of shape Americans are a target for the local bands of trinket salespeople, the restaurant hawkers and the purveyors of shuttle and sight seeing tours.

The Islanders are for the most part very well behaved, polite and easy to deal with. When they call themselves the freindly island, they are really talking about the spirit of the natives. They are warm and very helpful. It is the tourists and the illegal immigrants from all over the world who make their home here.

 This Guy wants your business. His line of Rum, spices, jerk sauce, flavored beverages and gift sets are found everywhere you are.
