Ma Comrade Bradda Dionisio James, there's no other way interpret if you decide to travel to the Bahamaland to avoid the area known as 'Over-the-Hill' (south of south of Shirley Street) and Fish Fry at Arawak Cay in Nassau 'AT NIGHT,' when the advisory among residents is - stay your asses home after dark..... Sorry, Ma Comrade Bradda minister, I don't see the misrepresentation by the US state department about the dangerous ways of ALL Nassau Town.... even more so at night? Does you travel about Nassau Town without armed policeman's at your public purse's ready protection? Do you leave your security detail at home when visit the Fish Fry? Just asking, okay? You can't bullshi# the natives living in fear for their very lives.... day and night. Are there NO increased risks for tourists at night at the Fish Fry because potential risks to Americans is all the state department cares about.... not waiting for the risk to have occurred. You get it?

It's not necessarily unsafe, it's just disgusting and dirty. I won't go for the filth - ever walk around the back of some of those restaurants? Ever use the bathroom??

So far lots of pr and rebuttals from Govt officials but what measures and efforts to prove and reassure by the actual businesses??
Their silence is very loud as if in agreement with the govt or are they afraid to talk ??
Do they pay any fees??

I'm amazed that no government has bulldozed that place and built structures that are actually pleasing to the eye...ok, they don't have the budget...what about taking care of the grass at minimum?

Ma Comrade Bradda ThisIsOurs, if historically, a majority of the 5-6 million tourists visiting The Bahamaland each year have been from the USA - one can only wonder what Dionisio James 'goin show' the Americans at the state department - his cock? If the tourism minister be smart I wouldn't risk sending a message to Trump via the state department - how his Dionisio James's - is bigger than the US presidents.... the Donald will nuke our 5-6 million USA departures visitors.

Two sides of the same coin or 'nomenklatura' which is the term combining both in that no matter which side there is cohesion by way of family, business, social group, from the same island, bin to the same school, from the same neighborhood that the many layers are like plywood, extremely strong.
Progression would be with the unhappy getting larger and larger hence the wide swings in voter pattern, election results or whay some say that a porty is not voted in but voted out. This does no good as there isnt an effective opposition by way of man hours, research, rebuttal so the cycle repeats

Based on its original design idea and function ...... Fish Fry is now a "shit hole" ..... More foreigners work there than Bahamians and it is nasty and unregulated ......................Go figger

Actually in todays guardian the businesses are blaming the scanty police presence.
Regretably persons in highfalutin positions want us to be like Singapore but I have never seen or heard or read of any persons charged with littering, spitting, or the regullar urinating behind the car or tree looking nonchalant as though people aint know wha ya doin. Ive done my part by blowing da horn and play I waving to someone a few angles next to them and see dem turn and pee up dey shoe. Try it next time ya see dem peeing.

It speaks to the ill-disciplined nature of Bahamians ..... pissing and littering in public, cussing and fighting in public, and just plain rude and disorderly once they get drunk ........ That is the problem with a large number of the Fish Fry local patrons.
............................. and off course, the Fish Fry vendors will sell the rum (and dope) and expect the Police to provide free law and order against miscreants........ typical pass-the-buck responses.

My wife and I visit your country quite a bit, once or twice a year. We have visited the Fish Fry multiple times and have even made Bahamian friends there.
I think this is overblown and will fade away very quickly. If we have not had any problems, nor seen any, in the several years we have visited I find this warning ridiculous.

We are happy for that .......... Please come again!!!!!!!!!!!

Really your visitors are your best advertisers. When they visit a warning from the embassy does from the beginning set a negative expectation. The visitors are your best advertisers. If they have a good experience they tell everyone they know and if they don't well should I elaborate. If the food is particularly good, then we will be back and bring our families and friends. If we feel intimidated or scared, you will never see us or anyone else we know back on that island. People don't spend their money on travel to take risks, and most are families with kids. Would you take your kids somewhere that you have any reservations against. Even though a lot of people think all Americans are rich snobs, that isn't true either. A lot of us work everyday just to make ends meet. We save all year to go on holiday, and we certainly don't want any negative experiences. Friendly people, decent food, safe environments, and that's not asking too much. It's common sense.

Keep Martin Luther King’s dream alive : ‘ I saw little black boys holding hands with little white girls’. And there is your problem lol

So you don't like whites! I get it. Sorry I didn't choose my color.

Yes, prejudice hurts all colors. I don't believe MLK was just for blacks. Nevermind I know when to shut up.

Why worry about fish fry. Best advertising is word of mouth. Guess what I have to say about Nassau. Most Islands are wonderful, but some don't like us.

Lol.. ironic the day of this announcement a cop is ambushed by a crack head... meters away from the same fish fry the tourism minister says is safe.

He must think everyone else lives in the same la la land he does!

Ashley stop letting your ignorance show. Happy Martin Luther King Day... our equilivant to Majorly Rule Day.

The only reason I logged by in was to see if you commented to your insults. Now you call me ignorant. I won't be back.
