Absolutely remarkable. Thank u for the oppurtunity to reflect, and view the similarities, forget the small differences. We R Alike, Because We Are One.... Either we start working 2gether as One or Perish 2gether as Fools. As one of our great predecessors said.
My Dads Mother was born in Jamaica and mixed with Cuban. My Dads father was also born in Jamaica and mixed with Indian. My Mothers mom was born in Jamaica and mixed with Irish. And My mothers Father was born in Jamaica and mixed with chinese / Philippines. It is so interesting to see early life in Jamaica Back then. Every parts of the Caribbean was beautiful. but damn Jamaica and cuba topped it in my opinion.
*_Tianah_* .....i lived and had a business in Jamaica in 1977 and had to pay protection money to the DONS of both Labourite and PNP,so Jamaica wasn't safe then, now in 2017 some the people i met in business and became good friends are now dead. And Jamaica is dithering about appointing Reneto Adams as police chief,he constantly being overlooked
@nayabingi100 It was a discovery to the Spaniards of that time because they had never heard of those countries before. But to the native people it was not. However, seeing white people for the first time was a discovery.
@AcePilot101 In the 40's Cuba was the #1 destination for the elite American to vacation and a lot of them had business there. It all changed when Fidel Castro took power in 1959. His brother, Raoul, now ruled
