I decided to build this page due to the high number of emails I have been  getting.

I have responded - and will continue to respond to each and every one, but I've noticed that many of the queries are very similar in nature.

CLICK HERE to see those already answered -over 500!

So, I've employed this medium to give everyone a chance to read answers to queries posed by others, and of course pose their own.

The ultimate objective is create an invaluable Q&A reference for you and my many other Jamaican interests visiting this site.

The idea here is simple - Ask one or Answer one!

JAMAICANS (Home & Abroad)

Kindly review the queries already asked and add your views or comments to them. I'll surely appreciate your local experience/ knowledge as well.

Of course, the more, the merrier :-)

When you submit an inquiry, I will review it and answer it on a page that I will build exclusively for that!

Yes (I figure you might ask), it will include both the query and the answer I provide!

But here is the real beauty (and value) of it...
From there, we will let our site visitors add comments and rates at the 'Visitor Comments' below the page.

That is extremely powerful for you - especially when we are talking about a website that gets over 500,000 page views per month!

Can you see where how you'll potentially, be able to get varying perspectives, options and approaches?

What are you waiting on?

Now go right ahead and 
Send Me Your Question 
or take a look at the Q&A list,
showing what 
others have already posted 
(Now Categorized!).

By the way, did I tell you that from my last count I answered over 700  queries about Jamaica - whew!?

Now simply double that for the comments each query gets and you will see the massive value we offer.

But my view, is not 'all view'. So yes, I could take your help on commenting/ answering some of those queries.
