DATS out of many one unity
@@juliebless1594 that can gwan too
Who’s here because of beryl?
Callao is originally from West Africa. It was on the island way before the arrival of Indians, documented in 1696. African can to Jamaica 1517. John canoe is of african origin. There are other influence not mentioned. Mango is from India but it was brought by whites. I believe they brought Ganga and curry.
Thanks for your comment! You're right-callaloo in Jamaica was on the island way before the arrival of Indians, but it has roots in multiple cultures. While it mainly refers to the African amaranth species, the term also covers various leafy greens, "can only put so much in a 60 second short". Indian labourers brought plants like taro leaves in the 19th century, adding to the mix. So, today's callaloo is a blend of African, Asian, and indigenous influences, reflecting Jamaica's rich agricultural heritage. Out Of Many One People.
Out of many I’ve people ❤️🙏
Truly Indeed. tx
Um... what!?! So low to mid 20's is "Harsh Canadian climate"? My guy, Canada and even more so Nova Scotia is not an icy wasteland year round, we do have spring summer and fall where the temps and weather is not bad at all... So no snow and ice here in the summer.
Hey! I totally get it. Nova Scotia has stunning seasons beyond winter. The "harsh climate" comment was just about winter. No ice and snow in the summer, for sure! Loved visiting Halifax when I was a flight attendant-lobster there is way cheaper than in Ontario. Flying back home with live lobsters was the best! Thanks for the comment!
Ganja, mangoes., curry and tangerine were already in Jamaica before the Indians.
Thanks for your comment! Jamaica's rich agricultural history is fascinating. Ganja, mangoes, curry, and tamarind have long been a part of Jamaican culture. The Indian community did, however, contribute significantly to popularizing and integrating these elements into Jamaican cuisine and culture in unique ways. Thanks for watching.
Do you even know why your favorite mango is call east Indian mango because they came from India...
Thanks for sharing that! Even though I researched the topic, the comment above made me second-guess myself. The East Indian mango does have a rich history connected to India, and it's interesting to see how our favorite foods often have such deep cultural roots. Thanks for the reminder!
Everyone knows Curry was brought from India smh! And the very word “ganja” is Indian! Lol! Named after the “ganges river” in India! 🇮🇳
Absolutely, curry is well-known, but the origin of "ganja" surprised me too! Thanks for the comment-I learned something new about "ganja" being named after the "Ganges River" in India! 🇮🇳 Thanks for watching.
Anansi did not spread from Jamaica to the rest of the Caribbean. We all took it straight from Africa.
That's an interesting perspective! Anansi is indeed a popular character in African folklore, and it's fascinating to see how stories and traditions can travel and evolve across different cultures. Thanks for sharing your insight and watching!
@@shermede1986 I don't remember exactly when, but some years ago there was a gathering in Amsterdam of storytellers from different countries, all telling stories of Anansi. What I noticed was that some stories had the same premise, but changed in detail, adapted to the environment/situation these groups of people found themselves in. What I found more fascinating was that some stories didn't change at all, like the one of how Anansi became the keeper of all stories.
Thank You , 😊
You're welcome 😊
THE WINES ARE SIMPLY AWFUL !!!!!
I'm not a huge wine fan, but I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty their raspberry wine was. It's the only one I've tried, so I can't speak for the others. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. Your feedback is truly appreciated!
💯🖤💛💚🇯🇲💯
@@joanmcvytie2333 Much thanks! Will try to keep them coming
Amen my ancestor
Thanks you for the like and the comment
Where is this?
Pottery Rd / lower Don River Trail
Thank you
Is the water deep there?
@@Brainwaave The Don River in Toronto at Pottery Road typically has varying depths, but on average, it is around 1 to 2 meters deep (3 to 6 feet).
Lovely video ❤
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it. Thanks for being the first to comment-much love!
how did you book this?
This is the only time I'd tell you to book off the resort not sure if the price is the same now but you can book the tour at Playa Pilar Beach
In my video, you'll spot a hut right around the 3:55 - 4:05 mark, that's the spot where you can make your payment. They accept both credit card and cash, so you have flexibility in your payment method. If the time schedule hasn't changed the boat ride leaves at 11:00 AM and the evening one leaves at 4:00PM.
Song name?
Luke PN Safari
Great content
Thanks for checking out my stuff, really appreciate it!
Mishmash of advertising. Zero.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with me. I genuinely appreciate your honesty. Thanks for watching too ☺️
Interesting video. Love the song thanks!
Thanks for watching! I'm thrilled you liked the song. Rock on!

Thanks, hope you liked the video otherwise and it was entertaining to watch 😁
Wow thank you for reminding me how beautiful Portland is the tranquility is one of a kind it is truly an amazing experience
Portland is indeed a beautiful place! What was the most memorable part of your experience there?
Omg 😂
Omg, right back at you!
Wtf did i just watch
You just watched the best place to get some authentic Jamaican Food in Curacao. You ever been to Curacao ?
@@shermede1986 ☠️
This doubled my depression and kicked my dog
I hope the dog is okay ☺️ 🙏
Look at BS curve 😂 🌎🥸🤡
BS ? Well thanks for watching anyways, and having the time to comment. What should I do to make the BS curves better for your next watch ?
Use a real camera lol. Not a nasa (deception] lens.
It's a 360 camera. but thanks for the feedback 😃
@shermede8817 you're welcome lol. It ruined some beautiful scenery 😢
Liking the content!!!!
Thanks so much. It Was a fun time in Cuba
I know that this city is named Morón and pronounced different, but they really should embrace the humour and have a giant sign for tourists to take a photo in front of. A lot more people would pay the high cost to visit the city from Cayo Coco if they had a sign that declared them a Moron. In all seriousness, I regret not visiting the city when we were in Cayo Coco. The price was high and the beaches were hard to leave.
I totally get what you mean, when it comes to the sign, I can definitely seeing it drawing in more visitors. It's a shame you missed out on Morón, but hey, there's always next time, right? And those beaches in Cayo Coco was absolutely irresistible, so I can't blame you for soaking up every moment there. What hotel did you stay at ? Did you visit Playa Pilar Beach ?
@@shermede1986 Melia Cayo Coco. No we never visited Playa Pilar (to be honest we were very happy with the beach at the resort). It was my first time in the Caribbean and my wife and I loved it. Our first long trip alone now that the kids have grown. I know if you stay at a resort you aren't really helping the Cuban people (compared to a casa) but at least we brought half a suitcase of stuff for the resort workers and of course lots of paper bill tips. I liked the fact that in the bus ride from the airport to the resort the guide explained that what we were about to experience at the resort isn't the reality of Cuba for most citizens. I got the impression that some of my fellow tourists didn't bother to educate themselves much beforehand.
Love this spot!
Awesome, I'm so happy you love it! Thanks for watching and sharing the love!
It's the buildings for me yow... New Kingston is really developing slowly but surely, magnificent high-rise buildings.
It's amazing to see the transformation happening in Jamaica. Thanks for watching
parece que desde que se fueron los españoles no tienen un gobierno decente
¡Gracias por compartir tus pensamientos! La historia ha moldeado a cada país de maneras únicas, y es fascinante ver cómo diferentes culturas y sociedades han evolucionado a lo largo del tiempo. Intento centrarme en explorar la belleza y diversidad de lugares alrededor del mundo. Pero, si los españoles terminaran gobernando sobre Cuba, ¿crees que sería diferente?
Portland is a dump
Not Portland Jamaica, Maybe just the roads but the views are epic
That’s some of the Portland dreams there are a lot more there❤
Thank you for your comment! @esmiegodson8765. I appreciate your enthusiasm for Portland, and you're absolutely right there's so much more to explore beyond what I've experienced. I plan to visit again soon, and if I wasn't such a workaholic, I'd be there in a heartbeat! ❤️ Tx for Watching
This music is terrible. Toooooo loud. And where are risks ? What did you expect when you paid $100 or less ?
Thanks for the heads up! I'll work on toning down the volume in the next video.
1. I was in Cuba 23 times. Six times out of 23 - Cayo Coco. last time in January 2024 (Angstana). Absolutely acceptable. 2. You should understand one thing - when you pay $800 - $1000 for one week (flight, hotel, drink, food and entertainment) - you can not expect the same if you paid $2000 - $2500. 3. If you go to Cuba for food - mistake. But: the beach, the ocean, the sun, Rom, cigars, music, people - that is Cuba. And there will always be beer, rom-cola and something to eat.
@user-fp2xv9ls2z Thank you for sharing your experiences! It's fascinating to hear about your numerous trips to Cuba, especially your visits to Cayo Coco. Your point about managing expectations based on the price paid for the trip is certainly valid. Each budget range offers its own set of experiences, and it's essential for traveller's to understand this, I just expect more for less sometimes. Your perspective on what makes Cuba special-it's beaches, ocean, sun, rum, cigars, music, and the vibrant local culture. It's reminds me that Cuba offers much more. I defiantly need to go again for sure. Thanks again for your valuable insights! I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

You have such a unique method of taking videos in Curacao. I enjoy these. Your voice is soothing, easy to understand and you provide great information. Great job 👏 👍 great music too.
Hey, @kathleenmalloy160 thanks a bunch for the awesome feedback! I'm thrilled you're enjoying the videos and the vibe I bring to them. Your support keeps me motivated to create more content.
The music is so anoying, holyshit my friend, cannot keep watching
@fracazzo Apologies for the loud music! Perhaps it's a subtle hint to lower the volume and appreciate the visuals instead. Just kidding! Admittedly, this was my first video editing attempt, so while you're absolutely correct, I'm pleasantly surprised it's gaining views. Thank you for taking the time to comment, though! Rest assured, I hope this video hasn't deterred you from exploring my other content. I can promise you, the music won't be as loud in the future!
Just don't like the rooftop view.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's always good to hear different perspectives. I'll keep your feedback in mind for future videos. buts its the best way to show off the full 360 views.
What is the name of the small island ?
The name of the small island is Cayo Media Luna. Thanks for watching btw.
It's my 1st time learning about this.😀😀
Hope you like it! Thank you for watching and being a part of my journey! I'm grateful that I can share my knowledge and experiences with you.
very enjoyable visuals...i suspect it would be fun and magical to watch it while tripping...
I can Absolutely see it now! Picture this: cows moonwalking through the fields, chickens clucking in perfect harmony, and sunflowers doing the cha-cha in the breeze. It's a farmyard fiesta fit for a psychedelic journey! Just be wary of the talking scarecrow he's been known to offer some 'enlightened' advice. Thanks for watch @is1that1all your comment made me laugh.
Can’t wait to visit!!!❤❤
I'm so glad to hear that you're excited to visit! Im sure you will like it. Thanks for watching

So nice!!
Aw, thanks! @alexramirez3091 I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for being he first to comment
realy interesting "but MUSIC " his way too loud 🙏
your so right, it was a learning curve my first video, still surprise its getting views. but thanks so much for watching and commenting much love.
Imagine how much the fauna is disturbd whith these tourist jumping and screaming ! sound travels far in water....I do not encourage this type of trips 👎👎
Ah, yes, the underwater wildlife are probably hosting their own underwater protest with banners that read 'Marine Rights Matter!' and 'Down with Snorkelers!' But hey, at least they have a captive audience to watch. BTW Thanks for watching and writing a comment @simonac688. You should check out my other videos about Cuba. czcams.com/video/1dbar93zte0/video.html
Which hotel did you stay at ? Which excursion do not recommend to book with the airlines, Cayo media Luna ? thanks
Hey @johndorian3685! Thrilled that you tuned in! My travel buddy and I explored two resorts in Cayo Coco. We kicked off at Memories Caribe Beach Resort, but it was geared more towards an older crowd-just didn't vibe with us. We opted for a change of scenery, hopped on a double-decker bus for a 30-40 minute ride to Gran Muthu Rainbow Hotel in Cayo Guillermo, and let me tell you, it was a total game-changer! more things to do and closer to better beaches Although, I've gotta be honest, the food at both resorts left a bit to be desired over. For anyone planning tours in Cuba, my suggestion is to stick to the resort excursions-they're more reliable. I only highly recommend booking the glass-bottom boat tour that departs from Playa Pilar Beach to Cayo Media Luna; you can snag this tour outside the resort, and it's kinder on the wallet. Be sure to check out my first video czcams.com/video/H3XMELP7DdA/video.html for more trip insights and answers to your questions. Huge thanks for your support! Your enthusiasm truly means a lot, @johndorian3685! Wishing you an absolutely fantastic time on your travels!
