Why I Love Jamaica

by David Pott

RE: What Makes Jamaica Special

It is not easy to explain why “I love Jamaica” is such a reality for me, but I will make an attempt...

Firstly, I am blown away by the hospitality of the people. I find Jamaicans to be so warm and friendly. I truly feel welcomed on a continuing basis. We hear so much about the violence in Jamaica, but the vast majority of the population are friendly to outsiders and to each other. When we drove slowly around Trench Town one day my driver acknowledged everyone we passed with a comment, wave or friendly toot. Incidentally the horn on your car is an extension of your voice expressing everything from “Marnin'”, “'Scuse me” to “You crazy man!”

Secondly, I love their speaking. Jamaicans speaking is a beautiful sound. I cannot begin to understand patois, but you pick up most of broken English. I felt that I feasted on the Jamaican accent.

Thirdly, I was impressed by the fact that so many Jamaicans have a unique blend of wisdom and passion. That is a fascinating blend! I believe these are the God given gifts and when Jamaicans move in them all is well. The majority use that combination for good purposes, but there are those who use cleverness negatively to trick and take advantage or who use their passion without control.

Fourthly, Jamaicans love their nation and they know how to celebrate it. I felt most happy with worship in churches when it is most Jamaican – you just have to move and dance!

Fifthly it is indeed a very beautiful island. My special treat was a day to enjoy the birds at Rocklands above Montego Bay. Two endemic species of hummingbird, the streamer-tail and the mango hummingbird feed from little bottles while perched on your finger – they are like rainbow fragments.

ANYBODY, who came up with this question is indeed a truly wicked person. How in God's name does one answer a question like this? What are the perspectives of a foreigner as against a Jamaican? Smh. Space does not permit. 10k characters max? You have to allow for a longer contribution because I am sure what will be said needs to be said and read by the world. And there needs to be a prize for at least the top 10 posts.
