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.

Truly Indeed. tx

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!

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.

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.

You're welcome 😊

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

Thanks you for the like and the comment

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).

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it. Thanks for being the first to comment-much love!

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.

Thanks for checking out my stuff, really appreciate it!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with me. I genuinely appreciate your honesty. Thanks for watching too ☺️

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 😁

Portland is indeed a beautiful place! What was the most memorable part of your experience there?

Omg, right back at you!

You just watched the best place to get some authentic Jamaican Food in Curacao. You ever been to Curacao ?

@@shermede1986 ☠️

I hope the dog is okay ☺️ 🙏

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 😢

Thanks so much. It Was a fun time in Cuba

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.

Awesome, I'm so happy you love it! Thanks for watching and sharing the love!

It's amazing to see the transformation happening in Jamaica. Thanks for watching

¡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?

Not Portland Jamaica, Maybe just the roads but the views are epic

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

Thanks for the heads up! I'll work on toning down the volume in the next video.

@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.

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.

@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!

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.

The name of the small island is Cayo Media Luna. Thanks for watching btw.

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.

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.

I'm so glad to hear that you're excited to visit! Im sure you will like it. Thanks for watching

hey @IgnatiusKikomeko thanks for watching there open in May- farm is located at 9365 10th Sideroad, Halton Hills/Milton, Ontario, L9T 2X9

Aw, thanks! @alexramirez3091 I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for being he first to comment

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.

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

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!
