I stayed a couple nights in Antigua (pronounced with a guh at the end, not gwuh.) It seemed to be the least friendly place in the Caribbean that I've ever been. Some fucker almost mowed down a crowd of people with his car in the little shopping area downtown, people all over the street, he just came right at 'em blaring his horn.
Couldn't find a place open to buy smokes after 10pm or so, I even stopped in the local jail to ask where to buy some. :) Finally found some after walking down a pretty dark alley because I saw a little store that seemed to be open. "Fuckin' Benson & Hedges lights is all you got?! Fuck it, I'll take 'em."
The jail had a counter when you walked in like a fast food place and people locked up right there next to you. Basically a lobby with bars between you and the inmates.
Now Barbados, that's a friendly island with it's proper English heritage. Everybody honks all the time, but it means hello, go ahead and cross the street, go ahead and get in my lane, shit like that.
