Question
Money in Jamaica?
Answer
We highly recommend you bring cash with you and exchange it in the airport upon arrival. The exchange rate in Jamaica is $1 USD = $151 JMD. A customary tip can be somewhere from $300-1000. Tipping in USD is fine too but you won't get change. Places you usually tip: On tours, sit down restaurants, hotel staff. Be very careful about which ATM you utilize if you decide to go that route.

Question
Bar culture in Jamaica
Answer
When you go to the bar you can order a cocktail or beer but you're also able to order bigger bottles especially if it's a group of you and you're sharing. A cue or flask is typical and you'll order full sized sodas/juices (chasers).
