    In this video i had the pleasure of taking a tour with ‪@onestopculturaltoursja‬ whose name is Marie. She’s super knowledgeable and very professional. We went to catch the 98 bus heading to port Royal but fell short. After a cab ride we got to port Royal and explored this wonderful city. This city reminded me a lot of an island i had been to in Belize. Walking around port Royal is very easy to do and the area is small enough for you to explore. This place has so much history and most famously known for this being a safe haven for pirates long long ago. Another important event was the earthquake of June 7, 1692 which sunk 33 acres of port Royal.

      I grew up in Kingston St Andrew so I grew up eating Tastee patties and I had never had Juici beef patties until I returned to Jamaica 20 years after leaving. I tried with my family and we all agreed that Juici beef patties were better. I bought the Tastee patties at Sugar and Spice. I don’t know if they’re still buying their patties from Tastee like they used to. It was good but not as good as Juici beef patties. I was relieved that Sugar and Spice still had those DELICIOUS danish whirls-my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE pastries! 🤤

This is the birthplace of one of jamaica's national heroes (paul bogle) he led a rebellion along with morant bay workers. Wow this is a long comment...anyways paul bogle walked 45 miles from stony gut to spanish town.

Also, if the earthquake didn't happen, would Port Royal remain Jamaicas' main port of entry?

It never will be considering that Buju Banton spent time in US prison because of his lyrics, plus Jamaica does not have a pleasant history - see asylum seekers who claim Homophobic and discrimination as the reason for wanting to leave Jamaica. Your host may have been trained on cultural tours in Jamaica; however, being call a ba**yman is NOT! Don't ever let anyone disrespect you like that, especially if you don't know them. No-no-no!!!!!!! Please read, and research.
