Man I like your videos, very informative. The one great thing is you don't continuously discuss crime and poor conditions. You realize all places have positive and negative qualities. A lot of travelers only discuss negatives of other countries as if America does not have tremendously "bad" qualities. Thank you for showing the positive s and negatives and not dwelling on crime and poverty.
Thanks so much for watching and observing the style... I think some people don't research or have prior knowledge of the history and culture so they lean on criminality and poverty... For me criminal activity and poverty are the results of a root problem.... For me, finding and discussing that root is far more important...
@@KeenanLambert198 Could we speak some facts here, jamaicans arrive in the costa rican caribbean coast in 1872 to help built the rail lines before that it was native american of the bribri ethnic group along with spanish and metizos if you look for a video of walking through limon you will see the vast majority of people are still meztiso in recent decades a high influx of german british swiss and american have open many hotels in the southern part about half hour south and if you go really south close to the border with panama you have where the natives lives so this is far far far away from being a chocolate city, second limon is the most violent province in costa rica the jamaicans who settle here never integrated they speak their own dialect the culture has nothing to do with the local costa rican way of life so what does this tell you ...
@@KeenanLambert198 We know who is mulato and who is not we know you must think we are stupid a blanquito has integrated to the local culture and that is not bad for them because why would you not want to assimilate that is just not logical, look at the back in this video you dont see alot of african like you...
My great grandparents were originally from Limon province in CR🇨🇷🇨🇷 Their parents were from JA🇯🇲🇯🇲 Moved to Canal Zone in the late 30s because the Americans were looking for English speaking workers. Settled in Colon, which is where my grandmother was born. So I don’t know whether to call myself Jamaican, Costa Rican, or Panamanian 😅
This reminded me of a Panamanian cat I met in the Bronx. I thought he was 100% Puerto Rican or Dominican. When I mentioned I had Jamaican roots his face lit up as he mentioned his grandmother was Jamaican and he grew up with an ackee tree in the yard. Gotta love the blend of cultures 🤞🏿
@@KeenanLambert198sir, did you know Lambert is a French last name? and did also know that a lot of jamaican's migrated to Haiti right after Haiti gained it's independence? for more information on it, Google Jamaica debt to Haiti.
Awesome job once again. When my brother and I were in Costa Rica we wanted to go there but the rains were really bad when we're were there and we were told that the roads were a mess and it wouldn't be a good idea.
Respect Mas Barrett! The first time I went to Costa Rica I stayed in around the capital…. I vowed to never make that mistake again…. Limon is a vibeeee
Great vid. I must say I love it when you educate us on African history in the Caribbean and Americas. A subject I'm painfully ignorant about. Looking forward to hearing more. Happy New Year.
Lmao.... #TeamCreepy Well, Limon is just as accessible as Colon.. Colon is slightly more dangerous at night... It actually looks and feels a lot like Cuba...
I travel to Costa Rica often. I have been all over the Pacific Coast, from nicoya to dominical, and up in San Isidro El General and Perez Zeledon. But I haven't been to Limon Yet. I have met a few women from over there and they were very nice. It's on my list. Great video.
Great video. I went to Black day August 31st in Limon this year. I really enjoyed it and hope to go back. I heard that Limon was dangerous also but that didn't seem true to me either. I agree they say that because there a black people there. Limon seems really safe and the all races were at the Black day parade as participants and as on lookers. If you ever get a chance you should go to Black day, it's really nice.
@@KeenanLambert198 No not related to Imani Tucker in Brooklyn. Imani is a nice name tho. I'm from the south. I have distant cousins in Brooklyn but they aren't Tuckers.
Limon is one of the most dangerous places here in Costa Rica. Doesn't have to do with being black, white, gray or whatever. Here we don't really make those differences. It is a dangerous place because of drugs and bands. I am Limonense so I know what I'm telling you
Jamaicans definitely did the same migration to other Caribbean islands (panama for example) and central America and also into Florida(see Belle Glade FL) they went to work largely in the then booming and previous slave trade or sugar cane/rum industries
@@KeenanLambert198 yes I ran into Bajans and ja in Belle Glade which still produces sugar cane.. and I thought they were new there, but it didn't make sense that older Caribbean folks were there so I started to ask and they were all ex sugar cane workers or school board retirees whose parents went to Belle Glade back when the industry was booming. Trust me Belle Glade is no longer booming..it's a sht hole (trump is dillusional there are shartt hoes within usa ..but I digress) at one point that area led the HIV epidemic in FL other than Miami/Dade county .. the insurance company I worked for at one point didn't touch that area because of the cost to keep folks healthy. I had several doctors offices I was assigned too out there and faith with the 65yrs old and up population and disabled and at another point kids throughout central and south Florida that's where I got to experience these things. Panamanians I learned had JA migrante working the sugar cane when I met a ex girlfriend off mine that was a stewardess for JetBlue.. she was black Panamanian .. Parents Jamaican

Thank you for showing Limón to the world my brother, lately has become a forgotten City and a lot of crime has been happening due to this. Que viva Limón y su bella cultura! 🇨🇷
Lol.. so i just realized beef patties are present in some form all over the world.. in nigeria we just call it a meatpie.. we dont like the crust flaky.. looks just like u had in this vid.. that sorrel drink is called zobo in nigeria ..
It seems the British exported the basis for Patties/meatpies… across their colonies and protectorates…. Only thing is we of course added our seasonings to make it taste great right?
I have lived here for 3 yrs in limon it's a fun little town but to really enjoy lomon providence touvhave tovtravel to the tourist areas limon is 2 Beaches and alot of shops
Nice video of Limon but how come you haven't gone to Bocas del Toro in panama you missing out bro 😅 while u in costa rica check out cartago and Guanacaste 😊
Alot of the Jamaicans went to where you are now. My Jamaican grandparents lived on 5th street two blocks from The Marcus Garvey school. The patois is not as strong anymore. The black youths become more Spanish since the Jamaicans are facing out. Alot went to the USA. They start mixing with the Spanish. You are in Jamaica town Costa Rica where all the Cista Ricans had to stay
Great Video Keenan! While you are talking through the video, I'm watching closely at the sights. You Know how it is...#TeamCreepy LMAO!!!!! Have A Happy New Year Bro And Be Safe!!!!
Accurately stated in regards to The Costa Rican government lack of interest in Puerto Limon../// it's obvious... look at the of the population .(LOL) Thanks for Your video Tour. A person from Puerto Limon, Costa Rica, ♫♪ ♫.♪ Saturday, October 5th.,2024 Gracias /// Pura Vida.
No Reminiscent of Jamaican patois that is not only Panamanian patois but Costa Rican to because during the era of the Railroad when Jamaicans Migrated to Costa Rica to work on the railroad
There is no such think as carribbean food jerk chicken all this are copy from the native american culture i mean where did you think barbacoa or BBQ comes from look at the ingredients all are native american ingredients rice beans coconut hot peppers all native to this continent except for rice CHOCOLATE maiz yucca comes from america native americans made this plants they did not exist in nature not africa aswell so again chocolate city come on dude..... My piece of advice to you is chose a place to live fully integrate instead of creating this parallel cultures like afro american afro costa rican because the local population will never accept that and that will cost you in the long run. Because you might get an idea that the majority has accepted this but in reality they have not because they wont say anything risking being called a racist...
@@RM360CR so I will address your point on jerk chicken first…. The natives did teach or pass the practice of smoking meat over pimento wood to the Africans…. Likely the maroons initially running away from the plantations. Present day jerk chicken is seasoned differently and utilizes the pimento berries as a form of on the meat seasoning… Look at waake from Ghana and Jamaican rice & peas…. Tell me that was the natives
I live in San Jose, one of my favorite cities to visit is Limon, good beaches great food.
I enjoyed that.
