JAMAICA - SOME PEOPLE STILL HOLDS ON TO THE PHILOSOPHY OF SELF- RELIANCE

Most Jamaicans are able to produce their own food, such as sugar cane, bananas, and citrus fruits. We use these products in trade as well as for our own purpose. We grow a great deal of domestic crops in our back yard as well as small grounds away from the home. Some of the food that we produce are corn, vegetables, fruits, cassava, yam, cocoes, dasheeen, and sweet potatoes. 

Rice is an important food to us Jamaicans, however we are forced to import grains from Guyana. Also, beef cattle, pigs, poultry, fish, and goats are a significant part of the Jamaican food consumption. Some people are able to raise cows, goats, pigs and chickens themselves. Most of the meat consumed in Jamaica are imported or grown by a few local livestock farmers. #jamaica #montegobay #ochorios #holiday #tourexcursion #traveltojamaica #jamaicagetallright #airporttransfers http://pp-jamaica-tours-transportation.blogspot.co.uk/ Visit http://www.paradisepalmsjamaicavilla.com/ for 4 Bedroom Villa sleep 9 persons in Montego bay Jamaica.

JAMAICA - THE MODELING CAPITAL OF THE CARIBBEAN



I strongly believe that Jamaica is the modeling capital of the Caribbean. I make the statement as the island has some scenic Jaw-dropping natural backdrops everywhere. I am proud to say that we attracts the famed Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue twice (1983 and and I believe in 2007), the Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders 2010 calendar shoot, and numerous others over the years. 

Jamaica also has sexy homegrown talent the likes of Yendi Phillips and April Jackson to name a few is quite an attraction in and of itself. Professional models fashion shoots for music videos and fashion magazines are taken place across the island all the time, so don’t be surprised to see yourself in the background of a shooting on the beach or at a water during your next Jamaica adventure. 

You can ensure a visit the island’s annual Caribbean Fashion Week celebration, which is held annually in the island capital, Kingston. If you would like to keep up with the latest in Caribbean fashions, designs, labels and the who’s who of the Caribbean fashion world then I invite you to take a trip down to JAMDOWN.

JAMAICAN RANKS AS ONE OF THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE IN TERMS OF HEALTH, QUALITY OF LIFE AND ECO FOOTPRINTS

Why are Jamaicans such happy people? Well, for starters we have strong family bonds, emotional well-being from positive constructive leisure like going to beach, dancing to reggae music, humor, a spiritual base of faith, freedom of movement and good health. These are some of those qualities which I have observed to constitute the happiness which you will see transcends from our Jamaican people.
We do have issues here like corruption, however despite these problems, the Jamaican government is able  is able to maintain some of the best levels of health in the developing world, which is evidence by our high average life expectancy. Let's also not forget that we are also able to maintain a good level of ecological footprint, which puts Jamaica towards the top of the Happy Planet Index (HPI) table. The HPI measures happiness levels in relation to a country’s consumption of its natural resources. Its aim is to prove that you can be happy without destroying the planet.
The West and the developing countries tend to sacrifice things that are important in life such as families, friends, and time in the chase for money and career progression. The question is, If we become rich at the expense of the planet, what good is that? The HPI is a refreshing and practical measurement which balances our health, quality of life, and our effects on the earth. I refer  to this as  the "new economics". #jamaica   #montegobay     #ochorios  #holiday #tourexcursion #traveltojamaica#jamaicagetallright #airporttransfershttp://pp-jamaica-tours-transportation.blogspot.co.uk/Visit http://www.paradisepalmsjamaicavilla.com/ for 4 Bedroom Villa sleep 9 persons in Montego bay Jamaica.  https://paradisepalmsjamaicatransportation.com/

TIPS FOR SHOPPING FOR SOUVENIRS IN MONTEGO BAY JAMAICA

I was prompted to write this article after reading an article about Montego bay, Jamaica by a well known site that offers information about destinations around the world.In my opinion the site misrepresented our market vendors in Jamaica. This is what was written about Montego Bay, "Be prepared to be pursued by aggressive vendors. Vendors selling a craft item may mean the difference between having a meal or going hungry, and that situation often leads to a feverish attempt to peddle goods to potential customers, all of whom are viewed as rich. Warning: Occasionally this harassment turns ugly or even violent, so watch your back if you decide to turn it on an angry vendor." 
I wish to dismiss this over exaggerated frivolous report and defend our market vendors in Montego Bay, Jamaica who I know to be decent people trying to make a living and certainly not resorting to any violent behavior. As a traveled person, I visited Hong Kong in the 90's and there at Stanley Market in Kowloon if you touch a Higgler's product you have to buy it, and if you don't buy it, you get cursed in Chinese. (not stereotyping this was just drawing inference from my personal experience to make a point.)
Now with that out of the way, let me give you some tips about shopping in Mobay. If you have time for only one shopping complex, make it Old Fort Craft Park, as the vendors handicrafts here are more varied in that you have the option of purchasing both souvenirs and more serious gift items. This shopping complex with over 200 market vendors are all licensed by the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB), and is located along the Howard Cooke Boulevard. Here you are able to purchase wall hanging pictures, hand-woven straw items, and wood sculptures. There are also skilled vendors who can braid ladies hair. 
Another option is the the Crafts Market located near Harbour Street in downtown Mobay, you can find a good selection of hand-made souvenirs from Jamaica, these includes straw hats,bags, wooden platters, straw baskets, musical instruments, beads, carved objects, and wooden carved Rastafarians.

JAMAICA - THE TALE OF TWO LOVERS WHO LEPT TO THEIR DEATH AT LOVERS LEAP IN ST ELIZABETH


Since I was a little boy growing up in Jamaica I heard the story about the two slaves who fell in love on a sugar plantation in St. Elizabeth in the village of Big Yard / Yardley which is  located along the South Coast of Jamaica. I am told the story goes that their plantation owner fell in love with the beautiful girl and planned to sell her so that he could have her to himself. Slaves were not free to love one another and so love was forbidden on the plantation.



The enslaved couple refusing to be separated fled the plantation however the the guards on their horses found out and a chase was ensued. They were both chased down to the edge of a steep cliff in the Santa Cruz Mountains regions. Having no possible means of escaping, sadly the lovers lept to their unplanned deaths.

TREASURE BEACH IN ST.ELIZABETH THE BREAD BASKET OF JAMAICA - A HERITAGE OF THE TAINOS INDIANS

Today we will look at a treasured location in Jamaica known as Treasure Beach which is located within the parish of St. Elizabeth. Treasure Beach is regarded in Jamaica as having some of the most friendliest, hardest working people on the island. My research on the area reveal that the locals in this area may have inherited their work ethics from the generations of fishermen and farmers who lived in this region long before them. The locals tells me that this sense of pride in their work and heritage allows living in the vicinity of Treasure Beach to welcome travelers to this region.


Let me give you a little backdrop on the history of the area. There is much documented historical evidence that the first residents of Treasure Beach were the Tainos Indians who came to the island of Jamaica approximately in 700 AD. These Tainos believed in the community living in a society in which women's tasks were to gather foodstuff and men has the easier tasks as fishermen, farmers and hunters. Sadly, the Tainos’ existence ended when they were captured and enslaved by the Spanish who came to Jamaica. Most Tainos died whilst been enslaved,  some were able to escape in boats and made it to parts of the Americas where you can still find remnants of Tainos communities. 



I am also told by a close friend of mine who is a Jamaican historian that  during the 1600s a Scottish ship sank offshore of the island and the survivors, made their home on the island. It came to pass in those days that  these people fraternized with the natives resulting  with offspring with lighter skin, blue and green eyes, and red and blond hair. This is why some St Elizabeth people are brown skin and men leave from all over Jamaica to "look" St. Bets girls.



Fishing is the major industry in Treasure Beach. Longtime residents will be able to tell you stories of several generations of fishermen dating back 200 years. A good number of the local fishermen make their living on the Cays, Farming is the region's next biggest industry. The parish of St. Elizabeth is dubbed “The Bread Basket of Jamaica” this is because they source Jamaica with a steady supply of grains.

PLACES IN JAMAICA - HOLLAND BAMBOO IN ST ELIZABETH, JAMAICA

Holland Bamboo is located on the South Coast main road between two districts in Jamaica, Middle Quarters and Lacovia. If you are travelling in this direction Bamboo Avenue is a fantastic place to stop and have an ice cold jelly coconut which you will find on sale by the roadside. If you need some Jamaican cuisine I recalled getting some lovely Roti and Curry from a small restaurant which is located nearby a school. Just a word of caution when driving through the avenue to be conscious of the 50 km/hr speed limit as police (Babylon) are always hiding among the bamboo trees and sometimes they just suddenly spring out on you expecting you to "grease their palms".

History or presumably rumor has it that the intricacy of bamboo canopy which is a 2.5 miles was planted in the late 17th century for the purpose of supplying material to the nearby Lacovia Manufacturing Company. It is thought that the bamboo fibre was used as a lubricant for car wheels and steamship engines. Although this company failed to take off,  the bamboo trees has survived until this day and remains a beautiful feature.


Middle Quarters is commonly known as the Pepper Shrimp capital of Jamaica, is located a few minutes drive away depending in what direction you are coming from and if you love spicy food, then I highly recommend you stopped by Middle Quarters. For all your tours and Transportation please visit PPJVilla at  http://www.paradisepalmsjamaicavilla.com

ARE YOU AWARE THAT THERE IS A REMNANT OF GERMANS STILL IN JAMAICA WHO CAME HERE IN THE 1830's?

In the mountainous area of Westmoreland in an area called German Town in Jamaica you will find remnants of a group of Germans who came to Jamaica. Reports indicate that over one thousand Germans came here in the 1830s. In my research I found that there are not a lot of historical records that point to how this group of Germans came to Jamaica, The remaining Germans in Jamaica are believed to be remnants of German indentured helpers who were brought in to work on plantations right her in Jamaica. The Germans were thought to be used as substitutes after the Jamaican emancipation period to assist the slave labour that drove the island’s economy during that era.

I am led to believe that the original Germans that made their way to this region of Jamaica were thought to be prisoners on the run from former military battered after the Napoleonic wars. Some believe they could have come to Jamaica seeking a better life to escape poverty and hardships in their home lands.
The German language is no longer used on the island, but some German words have entered the Jamaican vernacular. I have seen some Jamaicans who carry European features such as blue eyes, blond hair, freckles, and white skin, which is a result of the German genetic influences. Although I have not personally spoken to any of these Germans I am told that many people in German Town are proud to be Jamaicans and love this country and the culture. However, some people at the same time have a sense of separate identity. In my opinion this lack of understanding and the lack of German culture being passed down have left many of them with a sense of anxiety and maybe a lack of identity. 
Do you know any of these German remnants. Please comment. http.//www.paradisepalmsjamaicavilla.com #jamaica #germansinjamaica #jamaicaculture #jamaicaheritage #jamaicanhistories

YS FALL JAMAICA - WAKE UP AND LIVE

YS FALL JAMAICA - WAKE UP AND LIVE 

YS Falls is located in a secluded rural location approximately 2.5 hours away from#Montegobay. YS falls receives relatively few visitors, allowing you to relax and enjoy the surroundings, away from the crowds. The YS Estate is located deep in the sugar growing region of St.Elizabeth Parish. Once you arrive at the estate a tractor-pulled jitney will take you to the waterfalls.

The YS Falls are 120 foot tall and cascade over seven levels. Steps have been built up the side of the falls so visitors can view the falls without getting wet. If you'd prefer a more interactive experience there are natural pools at the bottom of each level of the falls, lifeguards on the site will let you know which pools are safe to swim in. One pool features a rope swing where you can swing in to the water below. For a more relaxing swim there is also a 4 foot deep pool at the bottom of the falls which is fed by natural springs.

The YS estate dates back to the 17th century and originally grew sugar cane and logwood a component in the manufacture of dyes for export to Europe. In 1950 the owners of the estate branched out in to the breeding of thoroughbred racehorses and cattle. In 1990 the estate opened to the public as a tourist attraction.
A recent addition to YS Falls is a canopy zipline tour which lets visitors "fly" 40 feet above the waterfall. The professional team of guides ensure that you are safely strapped in. River tubing rides are also available, allowing you to enjoy the serenity of floating down the river surrounded by the lush jungle towering overhead. There is also a gift shop, bathrooms, restaurant, changing facilities and a children's play area.
