I love the way that Jamaicans help each other in little ways, for eg, when you have good food you share with your neighbours as the next time you might be the one who needs a little hand.
I love that Jamaicans sit and chat about absolutely anything during the evening sun, and put the world to rights over a game of dominoes or a beer. They take time to speak to their neighbours, and don't go home and watch TV all night.
I love it when Jamaicans sing, everyone's a singer, and the sometimes impromptu moments when someone belts out a tune brightens the day.
I love the way that Jamaicans unite and take pride in their homelands achievements, watching grown people cry when usain and shellyann won in the Olympics in 2012' blew my mind.
I love the lush green countryside, in contrast to the sand and the beautiful turquoise sea.
I love the eclectic housing, with every house different, board, wall, mansion.
I love the love, respect and acceptance that has been shown to me over the years. If I'm walking somewhere, people we know will stop, check I'm ok, see if I need a ride.
I love that you can end up having some fantastic conversations with complete strangers without agenda.
I love to see the children playing, making basic games and laughing, which I don't see in the city's as kids don't play out in the community where I live, too much fear of risks.
Just a snapshot of the Jamaica I love.
can't add much to sum up my feelings ... the openness ,and ease of conversation ,with deep thinking individuals, has always been something special about Jamaica .
