    He is lucky the two JW’s from concacaf did not get to him first. He would have lost his bicycle as well.

    Where in Cayman did he manage to get two bags of groceries for $35?
    When I go to any of the supermarkets here it usually cost $70 minimum for enough groceries to fill 1 bag…

      What does “CaymanKind” mean? Please explain.

        You know. That special attitude and way of treating people, especially from other parts.

          Not just people from other parts, look at how they treat their own kind.

            Well, thank you all for explaining. However, there are many Caymanians who are great people, who treat all with respect and are understanding. I have experienced this many times over the last 30 years here.

            I don’t think it’s fair to judge all because of a few bad apples; the entire population gets branded as “CaymanKind”, which ultimately means you are a selfish prick that only cares about yourself. It’s honestly, biased and a bit ignorant. Don’t you think?

            It’s sad that all the Caymanians are getting labeled as such because honestly they are not all alike.

            Cayman is still one of the nicest places in the world. Peace.
