    I served a mission in jamaica and I wish that more tourists would experience the whole island instead of just the North coast. The real jamaican culture is just amazing!

    I can't stop watching these videos! I love how these young people talk so honestly about the places they serve - and they show features of the countries you wouldn't find on tourist advice videos - I don't know if the videos are part of their service but I for sure appreciate the presentations, and I learn about countries I'd love to know. I'm not a Mormon but I sure respect their work!!

    It's always interesting to hear the opinions of visitors while visiting or after visiting our "little big" island, Jamaica. His observations were mostly correct so we will excuse the rest...corrected in earlier comments.

  • @ganymeade5151
    @ganymeade5151 Рік тому

    The Jerk chicken, rice and peas are great. Pork Pit is a great place to get smoked pork and jerk chicken. There is also a Jerk Chicken guy in Montego Bay who sells great Jerk chicken. "Follow the smoke" is the best advice to find great smoked food. Plenty of delicious fruits and food in Jamaica. No one starves.

    I think the issue was that McDonald's didn't want to use local beef and their burgers were small too... Burger King and Wendy's do fairly well but clearly we love chicken! 😃
