The Many Faces of Bunkasai: Jamaica

Class 2A: Jamaica, Ganja and Darts

As Ken and I approached 2A we could hear Sean Paul blasting from the room. As we entered through the Jamaica curtains we found a bunch of students hanging around, listening to music while playing darts. Hanging in the middle of the classroom was a banner (see picture below) which said the following in English: "DRUGS: The trafficking and consumption of controlled drugs will not (the word "not" is crossed out with red marker) be tolerated, any such instances will (the word "not" is inserted here) be reported to the police." Underneath the message there was a big picture of a pot leaf. I asked Ken if he thought any of the teachers understood what it meant. He laughed and replied, "not a chance, it wouldn't be up if they knew what it meant."

Now entering Jamaica...
