Jamaica

 

People, Culture, and History of Jamaica

 

picJamaica is a Caribbean vacation paradise for both the adventure some traveler seeking the many unique outdoor activities, which the island offers in abundance, as well as for those wanting to be pampered at the island's many luxury resort spas, or lavished upon at one of the all-inclusive Caribbean resorts which line the legendary Northern Gold Coast. Montego Bay is the second largest city in Jamaica and is the gateway to tourist activity on the north coast. The city sits in a bay with mountains rising in the background. It is a hub of shopping and dining and the beaches are lined with all-inclusive resorts. Here are just a few of the activities you will enjoy on your Jamaica Vacation:
In general Jamaicans are friendly, outgoing and very proud of their nation. They enjoy humor, swapping stories (or liming as they call it), can be opinionated and are very talented. Jamaican artwork is highly sought after and the Reggae music that originated on the island is world renown. Though English is the official language it is fascinating to listen to "Jamaican Talk", or the local dialect spoken in a musical lilt- a mixture of English and African words (and some slang thrown in as well!). Jamaicans keep a positive and care-free attitude toward life, answering many questions or inquiries with a "No Problem Mon" or an "Irie" - believing that it's all going to work out and everything is OK!
