That's crazy! In Scotland we have a town called Rest and be Thankful! I'm glad the west coast has reached such a beautiful nation.
Hi Jamaica🇯🇲 From Scotland🏴
Your flags look similar too
hi scotland
Those are my two favorite flags
It's not a town as such , but a road passing along a glen. I think that's the Scottish place that they showed in the video too, rather than the Jamaican one !
Hello
It's so nice when I see other ppl talking about Jamaica 😅😅. it gives me the strength to accept my culture more..big up and nuff love ❤️❤️❤️
“With those names you can almost smell the British residue” 🤣🤣
😭😭😭😩😂
Residue? We British did not leave residue, more an impression
Eternal Turtle hmmm no...as a Jamaican, I’d say residue. 🤷🏽♀️
@Alexandrahotman cant argue with jamaican. I'm just trying to make myself feel less bad about the empire years cause I'm british
Eternal Turtle lol well let’s just try not feeling anything towards what’s in the past. Your country is amazing and some of your people are as well. Feel better about that.
Cuba has sent 140 healthcare workers to Jamaica to help fight the COVID-19 Epidemic. We are forever grateful to them.
That's good to know. Bless Cuba.

When I saw the thumbnail I was like "here we go, a white guy telling me about Jamaica".
I watched it was a refreshing surprise! You did well!
I don’t believe he’s White. He’s mixed with Asian.
He looks asian
He's actually half Korean, half white (quarter Italian, eighth Irish and eighth French)
I’m from Barbados it’s true all of the Caribbean islands are competitive but when we link up with each other it’s like we are family and will have each other back .
Your “Jamaican” accent sounds Irish to me🤣 anyways still sending love from Portmore Jamaica 🇯🇲
Right 🤣
Twrri costley ur the first person i ave heard saying so but ur are right .i recognized that years ago 😁 lol
@Alezia A too gailec

You did a great job with this video. I am a multi-racial proud Jamaican (Indian, African, European) and my wife is similar except substitute Chinese for Indian in her case!!

OMG💔✋but Japan😥❤

Big up from jamaica
He knows more than our history teachers
Thank you!! Much love to you
Good attempt and interesting video. I especially loved the part with the place names. However, for those of us from Jamaica who know the island's geography and history well, there are a few things in the video that are not correct.
He said the interior of the island is made up of plains and valleys in the west sometimes referred to as cockpit country The interior of the island is mountainous with plains and valleys closer to the coast. The area referred to as the Cockpit country is a very hilly densely forested area that from the air resembles an egg crate.
The counties of Cornwall and Surrey should be switched. Cornwall is in the west and Surrey in the East.
The Blue Lagoon in Portland is not a mineral spring. It is an inlet or bay from the sea.
It is Ocho Rios not Ochos Rios. It literally translates to 8 rivers in English.
The Blue Mountains do NOT start in Kingston. They start in St. Andrew and stretch across three other parishes, St. Thomas, St. Mary and Portland. Kingston is to the south of the St Andrew. As mentioned the mountains are in the interior.
He mentioned he wants to update some of the videos after he finished with the countries. So I think he'll correct them after the disputed regions is finished.
I am half Jamaican and half Vincentian. You have covered both very well. Thank you. Big up Jamaica! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
It's nice to see that he only mentioned once Bob Marley. The country is a lot more than one musician.
At least someone gets us
True but for many, Bob Marley was their first point of contact with Jamaica.
He did mention some in the important people
Dennis Brown Revolution put reggae music on the map for me...also,(Murder She Wrote & I Wanna be Loved)🇯🇲🇯🇲 rule the world!
Coffee ,Chronics,Spice,DingDong, And that all cant remember anymore
That awkward moment when you randomly click a video in your recommended feed and there goes a photo of your community and you see the roof of your house. 🤷🏾♂️
hakeem patterson thats funny😂

Jamaica was first called Xaymaca by the Arawaks/Tainos who lived there. It means "land of wood and water".
Amraya Baptiste yep true
Amraya Baptiste yep
Amraya Baptiste thaghians also lived there but I've never heard that mentioned...
"Wood and Water" the two elements that assemble a bong. Just kidding, I love Jamaica and Bob Marley : )

🇯🇲my fav place I might not be from there but I love there dancing ,music ,island,and culture 🌴🤍
Thank you very much ❤
“DROP SANDWICH LAGOON!” No sah! lmaoo😂😂Love this 😂🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Very well researched video. Love it!
Very insightful video! Enjoyed this one 👍
Finally he admitted that this series will take 50 years😂😂
aadish 99 than I’ll watch him for 50 years lol
Hopefully his content doesn't get censored in the far future.
Why would it get censored?
He is already approximately 70+ countries into the series, aadish 99. With 190 sovereign, internationally recognized nation states, in addition to 16 more which either lack individual sovereignty and/or international recognition, we have approximately 120-136 more Geography Now! episodes to go. At a rate of 1 nation per week, we should be finished in approximately 2.3 - 2.6 years. Not 50. Even if he slows down his pace, & fills his channel in with various other content between nation videos, he should easily be able to finish with 4 years. I honestly don't know where you pulled that number from.

I am Jamaican and I don't know we have island territorial dispute with other countries, You learn something new everyday.
son of David 30 really.....remember the shanique myrie case with Barbados....they sexually assaulted her at their airport....Jamaica sue the state of Barbados and won millions.....also Trinidad 🇹🇹 hike the price of oil to Jamaica when compared to other islands that buy from them, so jamaica cut ties with petrotrin, and form their own call petrojam and now doing business with Venezuela 🇻🇪 instead, cow called petrocaribe...

hi Jamaican people I love Jamaica from india
Channel of Lords... The Indians brought curry to Jamaica and now it is one of the most loved and widely used spices/seasonings on the island, especially in the popular curried chicken and goat dishes. The bandana fabric/print, also brought from India, is part of the national costume and is usually worn on special national commemorative events, such as the Independence festivities etc. Another fact of note is that Indians own and operate most of the major jewelry stores in Jamaica and are also into other businesses such as shopping centres etc.
Big up
