    I wish Jamaica would realise how valuable n important we r in the eyes of the world n stop advertise us in a negative way. If it weren't for the crime n violence we would b the richest n most powerful island in the Caribbean.

    I collectively notice a trend in all your interviews with those in foreign lands- Bob Marley has made a huge impact globally and shine a positive light on Jamaica.

    Swizterland is beautiful and clean country. The quality of life is great however it’s an expensive country.

    Enjoyed this interview. More power to persons who venture to distant places to reside....Love this piece of The Rock too much! Will visit but I love the food, culture, spirit, vibe, comradely and warmth of the island and people too much to leave. These are the things we yaardies take for granted. Thanks for the perspective and stay strong!!

      I noticed that too. The vibe felt like a balance between reservation and sharing light sketches of views or experiences. Appreciated still. And compliments to Xavier for conducting the interview with sensitivity and keeping to his usual guiding-questions. Respect for the perspectives Nza shared, and compliments on her warm smile and countenance. Hope she gets to visit JA (as soon as practicable) and enjoy some real boonoonoonuus jerk chicken! -- JM 🌺✨

      @kokobean240 3 роки тому +6

      I still like the interview, but I think I may understand why you say that. She seemed very reserved and super selective about what she says. As we should, but almost seem like she was avoiding something. My unsolicited 2 cents.☺

    I was a Trini living in Switzerland we lived in Zug it is a beautiful place but definitely takes getting used to it I did not encounter any racism but the Swiss just I’m not as open as west Indians they do become good friends after time but one has to understand it is a different cultureDefinitely the most expensive place I’ve lived in in the world but it is a wonderful quality of life and it is absolutely beautiful I love going back to visit

      Definitely. Winter that last around 6 months is the time for depression. Summer is the time to be happy. Now with corona its just always depression.

      @user-qc8vj3vp9v 3 роки тому +2

      Yeah, why does Xavier do that? The show is about revealing info about the interviewee and NOT ABOUT HIM. It is so unattractive.

      @@kaydenpat perhaps you need to stay off social media if you’re not prepared to read comments that are different from yours. Millions of people different views different likes. Stay off social media if you are easily offended by different ways of looking at things.
