Jamaican Bling

When I was in Jamaica there was a song on the TV about buying Jamaican and supporting Jamaica. It seems more people in foreign countries support this idea more than the locals do. The people in Jamaica seem to want to buy everything imported and all the things that made locally is scoffed at.

If you have a real Jamaican store and you want me to list it on this blog, just send a link to ajagssolutions@gmail.com, and I will post your add here on this blog.

Jamaican Halloween - jonkanoo

Although Jamaicans do not typically celebrate Halloween, we have a celebration that is close to it. Ironically it is usually around Christmas time when people put on costumes to honor the dead. This is typically referred to as Jonkanoo. See video and images below.

Jamaican Christmas

                                       
 

Christmas was not much of a big thing for me growing up, however I'm sure that it was the nicest time of year, for lots of other people. The only memory I have of Christmas was when I received a bicycle around my 7th birthday (in Jamaica) and I was told that Santa Claus brought it. The very same day, I was told that Santa Claus did not exist.

Talk about conflict in my soul.

If you have any happy Christmas stories in Jamaica, won't you share them here, or send pictures to ajagssolutions@gmail.com? I will post them here.

Jamaican Thief

I don't think there is a society on Earth that is not affected in one way or another by thievry. In this video, a thief is caught on camera watch what happens to him.

Jamaicans in Canada

If you have any interesting picture of a Jamaican in Canada please send it to ajagssolutions@gmail.com and I will up load it here.

So I have this friend in Canada and I asked her to give me some feedback. She said that in Tornoto where the Jamaicans are plenty there is lots of gun related crimes. This seems to be the case all around the world. Crime and Jamaicans are synonymous.

Cindy Breakspeare is the last Jamaican Canadian good thing we know. Do you have evidence to the contrary?

Jamaican cooking

When I was a child I was deathly afraid of this happening. In jamaica electric stove is not popular at all. It is the gas stove, checking these two ladies cooking on this gas stove.

Jamaicans rescued in Bahamas

There were a number of people that perished in the recent hurricane Dorian. Some of them were Jamaicans, but as this video shows there were good Samaritans that went out into the storm to rescue people as the sea came in and took over the Abacoa island in the Bahamas.

If you have any other videos or link for such stories help me out by posting the link below.

Jamaican Immigration to the US

Here are a couple of noteworthy videos if you are thinking about coming to the US. The rules are getting stricter by the minute.

The previous videos were removed. I hope you got the information before.

Here is another video I have found with some answers to your immigration questions.

I hope you find this helpful.

Jamaican Comedy

Here is a video from Jamaica I found on youtube that I think was dead funny. If you have any suggestion please post the link below and I will upload it.

Here is another one which was forwarded to me recently. Thanks for the support.

Although this one is not Jamaican, I believe it is worthy of listing. I believe this is funnier when the volume is muted.

Jamaican Restaurants

I have been to New York and Florida, and I have only seen these restaurants. However, I am sure there are many more. Help me give them a shout out.

Also, what are the names of those restaurants in China and Russia? I'm sure they are there, but I don't know them. It would great to know a few others present in other parts of the world (other than Jamaica of-course).

If you have pictures and you want them posted here, you can e-mail them to ajagssolutions@gmail.com and I will add them to this post.

The Restaurants I have seen are:

1. Donnas
2. Dutch Pot
3. Golden Krust 

It's interesting that there are no Chinese dishes that are called Jamaican, despite the rich Chinese heritage that Jamaica has.

No doubt we got the curry from India, and curry goat is on the list for Jamaican foods. Where are the Chinese foods?

The food chains don't have to be major ones, just list the name below and I will add it to the list.
