AFRICAN TIGRESS, YOUR KENYAN SISTER - Zábava
How do you think I did on this video?
You did good !
Smashing!
You did really well.loved your interactions with the people.Beautiful friendly,informed people. informed
You are fantastic Iam still watching you.Your cameraman is very.polite too Lynn.Well done you remembered Soweto Market.I'm impressed. ❤️
A fantastic job.
Blessings AT. I’m only commenting and giving you a thumbs up to help support you. Jamaican in USA
Love the market vlog the people are Jamaica's wealth.Very generous people.The fruit looks tasty.The pineapples looked really sweet.You're very well mannered Lyn ❤❤
I see that the amazing Tigress is really becoming a Jamaican after all. Its funny that you call our red apple Ethiopia apple..lol. Its called O'tahiti apple, some say EtihOti, but its a tribute, alluding to the Island of Tahiti where the apple comes from. But who knows 'Ethiopia apple' might just catch on...lol. after all its red, from the red , gold and green of Ethiopia!
We do not have that fruit here in Ethiopia
Why would you call it something other than its proper name? It’s called Jamaican ‘Otaheite’ Apple. Like the breadfruit, it was brought from Tahiti in 1793 by Captain Bligh, and has different names in other parts of the Caribbean and parts of South East Asia where it originated. It has nothing to do with Ethiopia.
African Tigress, I love your content. The market is a vibe . Good deal. In the US you would only get 1/4 of that for $20. I like how your camera man speaks to you in patois and you understand it. That’s the best way to learn the language, to immerse yourself in it.🇯🇲🇺🇸
I like your blog, because you always tried to avoiding drama.
African Tigress, I love your videos, entertaining, yet informative and educational along the way. I have watched your videos from a way back, with you travelling all over Africa and was drawn by the signature song / music in your videos. Good work, where are you heading next?
I am very see doing what you does best in Jamaica. I am glad you didn't allow the few clowns who criticize you got you down and cause you to leave. There is a lot of love and respect here for you. Remember that. Everyone has got his own style. ❤
$20 US is $2650 JA in Western Unión buy 2 large lunch with drinks & it done. Cost of food double since Covid I'm so upset I could fight
😢
The exchange rate is mind-blowing.
In Toronto, a oxtail and curry goat mix, with a side order of steam veggies, and a can a coconut water and that $20 USD done.
TRAVELING THREW THE MARKET AFRICAN TIGRESS WITH YOU WAS EXHILARATING THE VIBES AND ALL THE FRUIT NAMES .MAXINE AND CAMERA MAN LOVELY PEOPLE.MUCH❤
You did well. You got a lot for your money. Where I live in the U.S. the coconuts alone would have eaten up half the budget. We do have indoor and outdoor Farmers markets that tend to be cheaper, but you really don’t get much here for your money anymore.
Jamaican dollar isn't worth anything here, while $1.00 U S dollar is worth $155.00 Jamaican.
Like the breadfruit, the Jamaican ‘Otaheite’ Apple was brought from Tahiti to the Caribbean by Captain Bligh in 1793. Otaheite is the former name for the island of Tahiti. In terms of shape, it resembles a pear and its skin colour when ripe is a glossy red. Also called Jamaican apple, Malay apple, rose apple and mountain apple….
JAMAICA 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 MAY LOOK EXSPENSIVE TO YOU TIGRESS BUT BELIEVE ME THERE IS LOT RICH GUYS OUT HERE.
Yes, African Tigress, you are now a certified Jamaican. We love you.
Well done, nice to see you experiances fruits and vegetables you have not seen before this is all part of the learning experiance, i have been travelling to Kenya many times and i get the same feelings in your country when i have the same experiances, 😊,1❤luv , big up uself
Otaheite apple., not Ethiopian. They were brought to Jamaica from Tahiti.
Thank you so much. I wanted to jump in the TV to correct them lol. Kidding. But seriously, blame it on the older folks. They went from what it sounded like to them and they kept passing it down. Same thing with Pomegranate. We say “Pongonate” 😂WTH!
@@mariabrown2013 It was Rastas who renamed it and ignorance passed it on. Most rural people call it Jamaican apple or otaheite apple. Only in town I hear people say Ethiopian.
♥️♥️♥️♥️
I really enjoyed the market vlog, simple and informative content. Jamaican markets are so vibrant! Damn i wish I can get soursop 😞
Good morning Africa Tigress. It is so good to be seeing you again. Well I know that you will have a good time .an you will be bringing the best like you did in Trinidad
beautiful video highlighting some beautiful parts of Jamaica. well done ❤️❤️❤️
African Tigress to be able to pay less for goods in Jamaica you can't let them know you're a foreigner...🤔
I noticed that when I visited. Some places were charging me in $ US. I guess she let's them know, because of her content.
@African tigress i think that the Jamaican/Ethiopian apple is called pommerac in Trinidad and Tobago. The flesh is white on the inside. It is good eating!
So the Jamaican Apple is actually called Otaheite Apple not Ethiopian, things got a bit lost in pronounciation/comprehension.
@kirkynachulus1024 oh okay. Good to know 😀
African Tigress, you are enjoying your shopping in the market there. But wear your Back Pack the other way. There's pick pocketers everywhere.
I was wondering why she was wearing it that way.
African tigress i Can see that you have good heart ❤ ♥ and I love what you are doing but I would love 💘 to see you and dee and shorn work together as one African princess..unity is strength and I really love 💘 you guys.
African Tigress, you had nesberry when you were in Tobago. I believe they call it sapodilla. I remember when the vendor had you try it you said you found it too sweet. Loved this fruit when I was a kid growing up in Jamaica. To me it has caramel notes and is as sweet as a date.
Ohhh yes I remember that
It is not Ethiopia apple, it is Otaheitie apple is originally from Tahiti. Otaheitie is the pre-colonial name for Tahiti. Mallaca, Malaysia is also credited as the origin of this fruit. It also referred to as Mallaca pear, water apple, Malay apple, pommerac, etc.
Very Expensive one star apple for $100..we had 2 star apple trees in our yard.. back then, in St. Elizabeth
You did great. Seamoss is good for the body it helps especially in maintaining the muscles and cartilage it is a good source of collagen
Big up your self sister empress
We are a huge fan of your videos!! don’t listen to to them in the intro, you ARE Jamaican atp 🤣🤣keep uploading!!, inspiring and educating your viewers !!😊❤️🇯🇲 #OneLove #OutofManyOnePeople #Jamaicahaveavoice
The correct name for that apple is otaheite apple not Ethiopia apple as you are being told. It’s also called Malay apple, and mountain apple in Asia and Australia where it originated. As for the star apple you have a green skin type and the purple skin type in Jamaica. Star apple is native to the Caribbean and Central American.
U go girl gwan do u thing ❤u 200 times
Very educational content African Tigress
Blessings always to you African Tigress. Good luck your shopping. I’m taking note, as I might be able get some useful tips from your shopping spree 🫶🏽
Not bad, you got a lot of stuff.
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing you in the Jamaican market.Thank you our African Empress 💯❤️❤️🇯🇲❤️

hello lynn you did nice shopping for 20 dollars
You done very well in the market, a lot of vibes Jamaica 🇯🇲 to the world 🌍.
AFRICAN TIGRESS blessings and love
African Tigers, you should try the Jamaican apple, it's very good.
Big tings a gwaan!
Had a neasbeery/sapadilla tree in my yard myself and the bat's use to compete for the fruits. Trini.
I have a Jamaica 🇯🇲 apple tree and julie mango tree in my yard in portmore wow market cheap compared when i left in January wow more blessings to you AT Jamaica 🇯🇲 love
It is great 👍 👌 😀 ☺️ 👍✨️
You did awesome on your budget ❤.. let us know which fruits you like
African Tigress, thanks for the video. The Ethiopian apple is called pomerac in T&T. When you visit Trinidad, try the Julie mangoes there. They are different from the Jamaican ones. I find they are the most delicate, lovely tasting mangoes in the mango family. I had them in both countries and they taste different. I hope that everyone makes use of those lovely vegetables. It is nice to see that you are having fun with the vendors. You got a lot of things for $20 US. The bananas are cheaper in Toronto. Jamaica seems to have copied their markets from Africa. I guess that shows where their ancestors came from.
She was in T&T for at least a month.
Ms tigress. Those banana 🍌 are beautiful and the markets are wonderful display
Keep your purse in front of you please Tigress.
I've yet to taste a mango sweeter than Julie mango. Julie is my favorite!!!
East Indian sweeter, but Julie is softer and creamy. Its my favourite, i love eating the frozen ripe ones, its like a smoothie without the blending
Trust me you got alot for $20.00 very cheap.
Blessings you in my home town Spanish town st Catherine not Kingston
Good to know.
SUBSCRIBE AND SHARE GUYS ❤️❤️❤️
Paying 100 for a plastic bag seems seems rich! UK
You did very well on the vlog. I learned how the Jamaican dollar is compared to the US dollar.
I always wondered how they survive. It is less expensive to live in the USA.
Thanks and enjoy🎉❤
it's way more expensive to live in the USA trust me I'm Jamaican living in New York,
They don't have to buy clothes for three seasons and pay for heat. They can plant their vegetables and raise their chickens, if they wish. They don't have to pay all the taxes that we pay in the US and Canada. They can build their homes in stages. That's how they survive.
@@islandgirl3330also depending on where you live you have free water. I grew up with free water in the pipes, and there were pipes with water from town too, but those only came on early in the morning and were on the road.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
American apples r nasty but I like the juice😂 I will eat a ton of jamaican apple we Fite ova it
Jamaica is expensive, not sure how people afford to eat everyday. Anyways I'm in Canada and it much more expensive here.
jamaican apple its its all so called otieti apple not what rhe man told you
I think you are in Spanish town
$20 Jamaican is less than 2 US cent
She's using 20 US, not Jamaican.
What!!!! Mmmmmm I’ll be rich!
She said 20 $US not Jamaican.
@@kwacou4279If she was using Jamaican, she wouldn't get all that stuff😊😊
The vendor is to w!cked to be selling one small star apple for $100,00.
Was an American apple,
I must say i couldn’t get that much here in Canada for $27 CAD equivalent.
That’s why mi luv Jamaica 🇯🇲 when it comes to organic fresh produce!
The $20 ($10 USD) challenge in Barbados looks like a joke now damn I didn’t know it was so expensive! 🫢
1 U S dollar is $155.00 Jamaican dollars, while in Barbados it $2.00. The thing with that money exchange is that to trade with the U S, they have to put so much more for one dollar, while B'dos only have to put $2.00 toward the U.S. dollar.
@@eleisha5054 Barbados pegged their currency to the US $ and now that affects their economy. Btw she used $10 USD in Barbados which is $20 BBD if you didn't watch the video check it out.
What does the word JAMAICA mean ??
Google is your friend, Google it.
Land of wood and wata. Shining sun and amzing people
