    In this vlog i started my day off in new Kingston in the business district to check out what the vibes were like. I had a short walk over to a beautiful park known as “Emancipation Park” which is a must see if you’re ever in the Kingston area. It’s been a dream of mine to visit trench town culture yard and that’s where i headed to today. As i entered trench town area i was surprised by a fellow local who stopped me and asked me if i wanted a local tour around trench town. He had mentioned he took around one of my other UA-cam friends Chris must list so i figured, why not trust this guy. This is why it’s good to get off the beaten path and explore these countries you will always be sure to run into some kind locals. Would you visit Trench Town here in Kingston, Jamaica?

Although im gunna go back and see the culture yard because it’s a bucket list but just in general anywhere in the world i am.. much rather pay a local than give the money to the big man. And then if i put it on camera i look like im doing too much lol. You can never win with the internet i swear

    Nuff ratings for your tour guide Pojo. But I was wondering if he showed u were Bob lived after he came bck from Delaware, thats the actual Culture Yard. There are 2 residents in Trench Town where he lived. 1st is the soon to be Wailers Museum and Culture Yard, where his 1st tour bus is currently sitting. I wish they would fix it up/preserve it instead of letting it continue to deteriorate.

    • @PoJoTheBackPacker
      @PoJoTheBackPacker  Місяць тому +2

      Yes it was getting late and the culture yard closed. I was aware that there were two houses but for me this house i saw in the video was good enough for me it was on my bucket list. Plus I’m not done in Jamaica so maybe I’ll come back and see the second house inside the culture yard 👌🏽

    Great vlog PJ. Love the tour guide he's very knowledgeable on the Community. By the way Peter Tosh was a very popular singer in the 70s and 80s after splitting from Bob Marley and the Wailers. Try to check him out on YT singing "Legalize It" and other music and collabs with Mick Jagger, etc. If you have time you could check out the upscale communities in Kgn as a contrast. They have neighborhoods that rival many in the U.S. Great vlog.

    Pojo the Chinese is not just building in Jamaica they have been apart of the culture for 150 years. They consider themselves Jamaican and most have the accent. They have Chinese fusion with Jamaican food too so try the Chinese food in Jamaica. The best! I would say try the Chinese food in uptown Kingston the best is the Jade Garden restaurant in Sovereign Centre in Hope Road. It would be a good place to do content.

    Sad the PNP was in power for 26 or so years and did nothing to
    Develop their constituency. Sad it looks the same as it did when bob Marley was a child there. Also more sad the famous people that made it out did not give back nor contribute to changing the state of things yet they are worshipped as heroes. I know crime ravaged the these west Kingston communities since the 70s but there cannot be change if the people are not invested in, the leaders neglected and abandoned these communities for decades. But now since the social media era alot of tourists coming in so they’re constructing all these murals and signs that serve as no value to the community
