The St Maarten Pharmacy: Can you get the same medicines in St Maarten, that you do back home?

Visitors to the island should always bring their own medication since there is no guarantee that you'll find the same medication here. When in doubt head to the Philipsburg Pharmacy, which is about three blocks from the frontstreet, very close to Point Blanch where the ships dock. Because the same medication might have a different name in St Maarten, it is always wise to ask to speak to the Pharmacist when in doubt.

IF YOU CHOOSE TO LIVE IN ST MAARTEN OR CONDUCT BUSINESS HERE, YOU WILL HAVE TO ENDURE ST MAARTEN CENSUS HELL PHOTOS JUDITH ROUMOU

Anyone who chooses to live in St Maarten or conduct business in St Maarten will at some point have to go through what we all go through, it's called St Maarten Census Hell. It makes the American DMV line seem like paradise. Basically its hours, days, weeks of standing in line as strangers cough on you, babies scream and cry, and mishaving brats act out. You'll love it. I won't have to return until January 2014 :(
