Once im subbed i always do for sure
Thank you!!!!
DANG, I thought I was the only one, lol
Everything looks like you are in Ghana, no wonder their ancestors hailed from Ghana.
Ha amazing! Yes both places are so similar in many ways
As a kid, early morning before sunrise taking country bus to Kingston/Town was a really big event. 1st stop Sat matinee at Carib, then tastee for pattie and custard, stop by coronation for a few items fi bring for my aunt who we were visiting, ride jos bus up constant spring road towards stony hill. Downtown was an adventure, especially coming from Santa Cruz St. Elizabeth where the cows had outnumbered people Sadly,.I couldn't see this happening today. Imagine 4 likkle countri pickney ah town han walking wit fi dem money han flashing it fi let people know say, we can afford it. LOL
Amazing story. thanks for sharing
Your name kwacou is spelt like this in Akan Kwaku.
You all probably dont give a shit but does someone know a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Ford Bryce instablaster ;)
@Torin Karter i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out atm.
Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
If didn’t know prior to the video that this is Jamaica, i would have thought it was somewhere in Nigeria. We are all the same people. One love 🇳🇬 🇯🇲
yes. Same people!
Yes, same people just dropped off in different places during the slave trade.
right? This looks exactly like Kenya as well! down to the guy with the random TV in the market!
I said the same think when I visited Nigeria the similarities are striking no denying we are one people 🇯🇲 for real
There is no difference
Hahaha Jamaica? There's no difference with the street of Accra or Kumasi in Ghana
This looks just like Lagos, Accra or River Road Nairobi. Amazing how t is so similar to many cities in Africa. One Love ❤️ Shalom.
Thats where it all came from Dan.
Such abundance. So much fresh produce. The island is certainly blessed by nature.
True. perfect land and climate for produce
It safe to walk down town Kingston me and my wife down Kingston my white and jamaica. I.love kingston
Bless up
beautiful land, beautiful people, beautiful culture. I want to visit Jamaica!
respect!
“Lady watch yuh elbow” 😂😂😂😂
Jamaica is very beautiful place, but somewhere like downtown Kingston may be too busy and too challenging for a tourist. I personally would not recommend it to a tourist, certainly not without someone with good local knowledge.
Blessed what business would they conduct down there plus there’s no attraction down there the most I would recommend a town a hope garden & Devon House
Theres lots of attraction for people who are fans of reggae. Orange Street, Parade to name a few.
@@toppmax Why would someone visit Jamaica to go to Devon House.Time out for trying to impress people with infrastructure. It are what it are! LOL
@@toppmax rude workers in Devon house and the ice cream is nothing special to wait in line for.
Thank you so much for showing this Riaz.👌 Kingston is always being dissed and bad mouth by the media (because they know of the country's prosperity) so I'm so grateful for people like yourself and others that are promoting & showing, the good, positive vibes of Kingston. This is a blessed country with many Christians around to pray for the evil to lessen and the harmony and goodness to shine through. These videos I've come across are showing just that. Thank you once again 🤗😊
This look pleasing to you my friend. Notwithstanding the fresh fruits and vegetables, and ground provisions all I saw is pure deprivation. Might as well those shop keepers closed up shops. What kind of business can they do? Jamaica, what a mess!
Thanks for commenting! and the kind workds
@@decijohn6855 , Ever since my time, things have always been this way. The higglers co-existed right next to the stores and everyone survives. The fact of the matter is that there is no monopoly on commerce in Jamaica. That's humane. Thief and pickpockets always existed and will long after we are gone. It's the organic rhythm of life. No use bashing society over this. Just live. There's beauty in all the chaos. Jamaica is blessed and always will be.
@@chrisper94 I reject your argument, my friend. We all can live in an organized, civil society, and "eat a food". Highlers can sell in the markets, and make a living without creating such an eyesore, and the legitimate shopkeepers are able to do business. Jamaica needs to be fixed in every way, my friend. Which downtown of a city looks like downtown Kingston. Places like downtown Kingston only exist downtown Kingston, Africa and maybe the Philippines. Walk good my friend.
People fear the unknown...I say, “ live a little!”
true!
It's looks ramshackle and disorganized. It needs development.
Jamaica is too dangerous to visits. Rate of murders are through the roof.
Jamaica is not different from Ghana from the look at things there
Its true!
Thats where we come from Joseph
Takes me back down memory lane ❤️
ah you are from Kingston?
I don’t think so!!! There are things that needs to put in place before safety can be guaranteed.
It's not bad actually. I'm here in Kingston now visiting and been downtown three times with no problems
I use to work at Bellevue hospital. I’m always downtown. Go there every yr when I go home. I’m kingstonian. Things aren’t bad as people say it is. I love it down there.
Great to hear from someone from there
The road always like that at night
yeah busy busy
Thanks for this video. I enjoyed watching Coronation Market. I last visit this market in 2003.
7:10 Umbrella went a ride! Bless
Worry bout the people who LIVE in de country.......u think tourist love u ???????????
A coulda shack off yuh han, when di people safe den di tourist will safe 👍🇯🇲👍🇯🇲
Yes, some tourist do. When I visit Jamaica I make it my business to buy on the street and not in the store. I have done that since my first visit and will continue. I also take a lot of pictures to show all of my friends and family when I go back home to the states. I have inspired do many people to go to Jamaica and enjoy life outside of the hotel and I have only been there three times. All three times were in led than a year. I sent the first time and feel in love with the life of Jamaica, not hotel and I always buy black.
When did people dem safe den di tourist will be safe 🇯🇲👍🇯🇲♥️👍♥️
True! Most important
This brings back memories. Will have to go downtown on my next visit.
Are you from there?
Thanks, Riaz, for bringing us this view of the street life in Jamaica😁
Bless up!
Thanks for supporting
I was born & raised in Jamaica in the 60's & migrated to the US at the age of 18 yrs old..I've returned every yr to visit family but I've always stayed in St Ann..in 2917 a family friend took me to Kingston and as soon as I arrived my chain was snatched from around my neck by a young man..Me personally will never go back to Kingston..
Ah im very sorry to hear that
More sellers than buyers
It’s one of the quiet days. Usually very busy in weekends
This is amazing! I wished that you would have interacted with the higglers/vendors and the viewers an synopsis of how they operate their business. Also, I hope that you do a feature on the Rasta man (the chef). Is food looks interesting.
yes alot of people are camera shy in JA though ha
I know your walking and most Jamaicans do not liked to be filmed without their permission but, could you slow down the camera movement a little bit next time when your walking through a crowded area🙏🏽
will do! thanks
I would feel safer on the streets of Kingston than I do on the streets of Baltimore. Also, I wouldn't have to worry about any mass shootings like here in the states. The truth is that petty theft is a fact of human history and will continue long after we're gone. Get over it. Life is good in Jamaica and it's a God blessed country.
Big respect!
bless jamaica has good resources but jamaica crime rate is very high percentages. i c why the crime rate is so high n jamaica. 1) there r over a million jamaicans born n jamaica. plus jamaica is a small island . where theres is not enough jobs producing n jamaica. so when jamaicans dont have no income what wayz of keeping food on the table and n your belly and your family. what ( the legend bob marley said n his tunes ( a hungry man is?a angry man. definitely true. a angry man or youth will hurt or kill. theres no jobz thats why some jamaicans wantz 2 come 2 native landz 2 work and 2 make ns meatz. ( u will have 2 excuse me 4 not saying america. this is the amerikkka trump and his negative followders follow..
Unemployment is too high thats why everyone is selling something
Wonderful places beautiful folk
yes just maybe misunderstood
I love this 😍😍 the side of JAMAICA you don’t see
Yes! True
Fantastic video. Loved it 👍🏴
Jamaica like Ghana
True!
Interesting Blood is thicker than water
Oh no as a ghanaian I hv to visit Jamaica seriously looks similar
This look like Ghana
If you didn’t say this was Kingston I would’ve thought you were in some part of west Africa.
Can you do me a favor when ever you have FreeTime can you do a tastee patty restaurant tour
thats just part of Kingston people no need to bash
I didn't bash at all. Just wonder peoples experience there as its where my grandparents are from and I want to know how other peoples time there is. Thanks for watching
chafa chafa
Well I must say thank you for this walk. I have been watching so many videos walking around Coronation market and I have been trying hard to spot my big sister who still sells there after all these years. When I found her I did so much for her and begged her to stop going but she loves it. She is a business woman and is good at it so ,,,,that's that. But today I saw her and was able to pause the video and snap her. What a thrill. Thank you. And of course the video says it all....Is Downtown safe??? I see people spending their monies and going their busy ways, therefore ...no worries.
ah thats amazing that you saw your sister!
Corrie. My favourite market. Have to go there every Saturday. Can’t wait to go home
Getting home sick
ah same
Damn the higgler make the place look disgusting
There are people dat come n clean every night or early morning
@@sanjaykalee7747 ooh okay
It Isnt tha rough tbh olny some places and really wanna go Jamaica 😍
This channel brought me to k1loflame... Grateful. God BLESS. 🇺🇸
Big respect!
I was there a few weeks ago.. I felt the "pressure" "heat" and "intensity" of the place. However, a fantastic experience and lots to buy...safe...? That depends on who you go with, I felt safe enough to take the bus from Washington gardens to Parade terminal and walk around the market, however I was meeting people. Much love to all the people of down town Parade ah oono mek de place nice...one love and thanks for the upload...
thanks for commenting. I went alone taking the bus from half way tree to parade and walk about
Really enjoyed that video,
All the fresh fruits and veggies. The pepper shrimps is the best always got to get that
I didnt get that. I will try some next time for sure!
mi miss Jamaica long time mi nah come back home
This is beautiful, health, fresh organic food all around. Only thing Downtown Kingston, especially the market and vendor areas need to be more organized and clean.
True, them things happen over time
It's safe yes. 😊
What about at night
Do the same treck
Nice video 😀
Kwacou hit the nail on the head. True ...lol
It's looks ramshackle and disorganized. It needs development.
Jamaica is too dangerous to visits. Rate of murders are through the roof.
Luckily I am a class act. Because you are not as ambitious as these people. They have the guts to work hard. Do you.
All that fresh produce and life on the street. Miss being in JA 💚🙌🏾
Yeah same
Lady watch u elbow
blesssssssssssssss

Thank you Riaz for this insight
thanks for watching
GREAT 👍 JOB BRO 👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks for watching
Talk more man!
Thanks for you comments and the time you made to give feedback. Maybe one day but I dont enjoy talking much and when I did talk much in older vids people just complained about so many different things lol
Loved it!👍
Thanks for watching
Looks like ghana
Ha yes. Thats what made me make the Ghana vs Jamaica video
I Don't rate dis one!
@@orlandowilliamson8700 stop hiding behind your screen
@@orlandowilliamson8700 Its easy to spew vile behind the anonymousity of the net. Love conquers all bro, seems to me you have a lot of loving to catch up on! 🇯🇲Peace.
@@mrs_chin just think it could have been captured better, imo.
Thanks! I always appreciate feedback and criticism
looks safe to me.
You probably should of left this topic alone lol!, Your are by no means a tourist, you look just like us and usually dress in a way that you fit right in, so your experiences can not translate to a regular Caucasian tourist. You're as real as it gets my guy ! Where you trod "regular tourist" bet not walk !
ha yes, I just wondered other peoples perspective thats why I asked people to comment below about it
@Riri Travels I was wondering if I could dm you through Instagram. I’m interested in going to Jamaica and would find some advice useful. Peace!
sure man
Its dangerous i have been there
And your mouth is dangerous the stages everywhere in life
Thank you for a grand tour of the city of my birth,one love respect.
Thanks for watching
This is their capital. Look at it. It looks like a dump. Why don't they spend money and fix and make it look better. Rein in that loud music and loutish behaviors.
The capital has many beautiful areas. What you see is just part of the capital, it's a mainly local market, not reflective of the whole capital and there's a reason its called 'downtown'!
that is a market n the government is doin development all around they r drafting up new plan for rhe area
Blessed I hope so. As a person who’s never been to JM it discourages me to see this mayhem, lack of organization and loud music blasting. Cayman Islands look much nicer
@@Abraham_Tsfaye to each their own....we are a cultured set of people so we love our music. You can stay in your boring Cayman since it's so perfect. There are many foreigners that love visiting our island Jamaica. We are unfiltered and we show the good and the bad. This is reality. Not perfectionism. If you wish to give us money go at it. But we are developing and everything takes time and money.
it's a market , every morning it is cleaned for the new day , that's how it's always been
