Set Set's drug den
In the summer after my first year of university, my brother and I decided to go to Barbados for a few weeks. We hardly had any cash so when we got there we tried to find the cheapest possible place to stay. My brother knew of a guy called Set Set who had a shack, which he apparantly built himself and rented out a few rooms for about $5 a night.

Set Set used to be the local dealer but found god or something and was now some kind of back street dentist.

We made our way there and he actually had a room free so we took it, congratulating ourselves on the bargain we had bagged.

Unfortunately Set Set's shack was built right next to a swamp, litteraly a few feet from one. It also had quite a few holes in the walls so each night we were eaten alive by mozzies. Before we went to sleep we would hook up 2 of those plugs that you put the tablets in to kill the mozzies, burned 2 of the coils, covered ourselves in repellent and sprayed the buggery out of the room. The only result was that we probably got cancer along with the bites.

One day Set Set arranged for his mate Ning Ning (a little skinyn rasta dude) to take us out on his boat for an hour. He basically motored out to a few hundred metres from the shore, made us pull up a few lobster pots and then took us back. He then asked us for $100 for the privilige and when we refused threatened to kill us. We told Set Set and he told us he would go and shoot him with his magnum (the gun I assume rather than the ice cream).

Saying all that, Set Set was actually a stand up chap and occasionally cooked us some really decent Bajan food. Despite the billion mozzie bites and the various threats on my life, it was actually a pretty cool holiday.
