The first step is to learn about the various types of purification systems available on the market today. A quick visit to your local home improvement store should yield plenty of results. Some types of purification systems include faucet mount, countertop, sink, shower head, faucet mount and pitcher wat. Always take extra precautions, the water may be safe to drink when it leaves the sewage treatment plant but it may pick up pollutants during its way to your tap.
We advise that you ask locals or hotel staff about the water quality. Note that many doctors and hospitals expect payment on the spot, regardless of whether you have travel health insurance, and even at the island's best hospitals in Kingston you may encounter non-functioning MRI scanners and similar.
Many pharmacies are well supplied, but important medications may not be consistently available. Be sure to bring along adequate supplies of all prescription drugs.
No see ums, also known as midges, are tiny biting insects that live near water. Okay, well maybe not that many… but it is a good idea to take lots of photos to set your memories in stone. While embarking on amazing tours, photos might be the last thing on your mind, but be sure to pause for a couple photos at each location. Breathtaking views can be enjoyed throughout all of Sandals Negril.
Not sure what to pack for Jamaica? Expert tip: Bring copies of your passport and booking confirmation with you to the airport in case electronics fail. Avoid getting into cars with strangers, especially cars without a red number plate. Even if you may consider that you might have made a friend, keep in mind that anyone you meet during your vacation is still pretty much a stranger that you have limited information about. If you want to get around quickly, take a red-plate cab, or even public transport.
Red-plate cabs are authorized and licensed to operate. They are also insured. White plates are not. Plan how you will get to specific locations, and make arrangements to get back to your resort, before venturing out. Wearing camouflage print is illegal in Jamaica , and in some cases packing clothing items of this type can result in them being confiscated at the airport.
Only the local army is permitted to wear this print in Jamaica, so do yourself a favor and leave your camouflage items at home. Avoid wearing flashy jewelry when out, and walk with minimum cash.
Pay attention to the personal information you share, as it relates to where you live, how many cars you own, and things of this nature. Traveling to Jamaica for the first time? For tourists especially, exploring in this way is not recommended in Jamaica. Hitchhiking is a no-no in Jamaica, as is traveling to remote or unfamiliar areas at night. Highly popular tourist areas are usually fine in the nighttime but be sure to make proper arrangements to get to and from the location and find out as much information as you can from your resort concierge before you go.
In terms of going to the beach at night, stick to the resort beach which is usually patrolled by private security. Good to know: Beaches and Sandals Resorts are by design closed off from public entrance and guarded 24 hours a day by private security. There are often lots of potholes in some areas, so if you must drive while on the island, do so in anticipation of a bumpy ride! Marijuana is illegal in Jamaica, which might be surprising to some considering how closely it has been linked to Jamaican culture over the years.
In Jamaica you can actually be arrested for possession of marijuana. Declining politely will suffice. I think you may already know this, but it is worth repeating it here; bottled water is often simply treated tap water, camouflaged by fanciful labels and promoted by celebrities.
Bottled water manufacturers are not required to disclose the source of bottled water unless it is mineral or spring water. Therefore, this expensive bottle of water could be the same as the one you might have had in your kitchen sink.
The NWC is responsible for the supply and treatment of tap water in Jamaica. When untreated water is collected from various and many sources like rivers or streams, or from underground water reservoirs, it is then introduced through piping systems and transported to treatment plants.
At the treatment plant, equipment and chemicals ensure that the water is treated water and is safely distributed to the population. Water is essential for your health and that of your child, because it maintains normal body temperature, helps your body to get rid of waste and lubricates the joints. Just as an engine needs oil to run, your body needs water.
But what is the best water for your body and your smile? Imagine all the plastic waste and emission for production, transportation and disposal of these plastic bottles will be zero if we all stop using bottled water.
The alternatives to water are usually juices, soft drinks or milk, all of which contain sugar. The consumption of sugar produces an accumulation of acid in the mouth, which breaks down the enamel, thus facilitating the formation of cavities and the deterioration of teeth.
Too much sugar can also lead to obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. Replacing sugary drinks with tap water will help you maintain a healthy mouth and body.
