Jamaica is a country of rhythm, sun-drenched beaches, warm tropical breezes and rich cultural heritage.
Jamaica, the third-largest island in the Caribbean, carries a powerful attitude to life, the keyword is "respect". It is used as a greeting as well as a farewell, it should prevent the people from interrelated disrespect.
The Jamaicans say "Out of Many, One People", it reflects Jamaica's diverse heritage. As diverse as its heritage are Jamaica's attractions - they offer something for every vacationer!
Oli and I decided on a week-long island-exploration by car... and it was a good decision. We were able to discover not only the touristy parts of the "Island in the Sun" but also were able to take a brief look behind the scenes, experience a little bit of the real Jamaican life. We learned that there is "no problem, yah man", that certain things will "soon come" and the rhythm of reggae defines the rhythm of life.
