Over the past year in Korea Andy and I have learned that there isn't too much that surprises us anymore. Koreans tend to go about doing things in a very different way that Americans would. They tend to be less worried about safety. For example, one of my Korean friends has a 2 daughters; one of them is 2 and the other is 4. Often the 4 year old is in a car seat (most likely unbuckled) and the 2 year old is roaming around the car. I am not sure if there is a law, but if so it definitely isn't adhered to very well. Anyhow, on Friday we were driving down the dirt path to our apartment building. We were talking about the colors they were painting the new building behind our apartment building. All of the sudden I noticed HOW they were painting the building. 
The man is sitting on what appears to be similar to a seat of a swing that has a rope attached to it. He is wearing no safety gear at all! He began at the top and was lowered down as he was painting the building with a paint roller. Then there was a man on the inside painting the outer window ledge. If you click on the picture it will enlarge it so you can see it better.

I can so relate! Things in Jamaica are done so much differently than in the States. It's so much fun living outside the U.S. huh?
