In this vlog i started my day off in new Kingston in the business district to check out what the vibes were like. I had a short walk over to a beautiful park known as “Emancipation Park” which is a must see if you’re ever in the Kingston area. It’s been a dream of mine to visit trench town culture yard and that’s where i headed to today. As i entered trench town area i was surprised by a fellow local who stopped me and asked me if i wanted a local tour around trench town. He had mentioned he took around one of my other TH-cam friends Chris must list so i figured, why not trust this guy. This is why it’s good to get off the beaten path and explore these countries you will always be sure to run into some kind locals. Would you visit Trench Town here in Kingston, Jamaica?

@@PoJoTheBackPacker Nope he's not, joking, our ancestors who fought in WWI & WWII are buried in Hero's Circle. A monument is also erected for them in said Park and wreath is laid out for them yearly on Remembrance Day, if you get a chance take visit. Our National Hero's are also buried there.

Beautiful country thank you !
Nuff ratings for your tour guide Pojo. But I was wondering if he showed u were Bob lived after he came bck from Delaware, thats the actual Culture Yard. There are 2 residents in Trench Town where he lived. 1st is the soon to be Wailers Museum and Culture Yard, where his 1st tour bus is currently sitting. I wish they would fix it up/preserve it instead of letting it continue to deteriorate.
Yes it was getting late and the culture yard closed. I was aware that there were two houses but for me this house i saw in the video was good enough for me it was on my bucket list. Plus I’m not done in Jamaica so maybe I’ll come back and see the second house inside the culture yard 👌🏽
@@PoJoTheBackPacker ohhh okay, understand.
New Kingston is definitely not downtown Pojo. That part of Kingston is the Uptown area
lol well i need people like you to correct me 👌🏽 thank you for this
Thanks for taking care of Pago one love mon ❤god bless 👍🇯🇲
Always
Another outstanding video brother. Your tour guide was amazing. I learnt stuff I didn’t know. Looking forward to you next video. Thank you
Thank you for viewing my friend 👌🏽
Can’t believe people are asking if you paid him. This man is working this is his hustle; like he is going to do a tour for free. 😅 Not everything will be on camera. 😊Nice episode Po. 🇯🇲👍PS I let those long ass ads play out because I was multitasking.
Thanks for watching the ads😂 i really appreciate it lol.. also yea its stupid to me im not one of these bloggers that needs everything for free im much rather willing to pay a local to take me around where normal tourist don’t go rather than paying for the museum. Although im gunna go back and see the culture yard because it’s a bucket list but just in general anywhere in the world i am.. much rather pay a local than give the money to the big man. And then if i put it on camera i look like im doing too much lol. You can never win with the internet i swear
@@PoJoTheBackPacker Yeah I started my channel and it’s like no matter how positive and uplifting a video is there will always be two or three hateful strays. My first instinct is always to fire back but my peace is of utmost importance.
@@PoJoTheBackPacker bro it is like they choose the longest ads for me and because I love what you are doing. I will watch every one. I cannot overstate how much I am thankful for these videos to pass the time especially when I am working backshifts.
@@prestonmatthews725 😂 I’ll have plenty of More videos on the way
@@Sandramundy😂😂😂😂 I love the term " (Hateful Strays) I will be using it when needed.
Respect my Jamaican brother I see you're very knowledgeable of your surrounding areas..
Yes i was fortunate for him
Based on comments the local was giving great info and as huge Bob Marley fan loved it. Very cool bro
Thank you my bro 👌🏽
Somebody give this tour guide a buss nuh 🔥
I’m saying
Keep it coming..Bro
I will thank you very much for the support!
Great vlog PJ. Love the tour guide he's very knowledgeable on the Community. By the way Peter Tosh was a very popular singer in the 70s and 80s after splitting from Bob Marley and the Wailers. Try to check him out on YT singing "Legalize It" and other music and collabs with Mick Jagger, etc. If you have time you could check out the upscale communities in Kgn as a contrast. They have neighborhoods that rival many in the U.S. Great vlog.
I will try to check out the upscale neighborhoods 👌🏽
Thank you Peter, we see you👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤
He was a good guide
Big up the tour guide. I learnt something today. Thanks for the content
Yes he was doing a good job 👌🏽
Jah Bless You, Po´jo, very nice video. Deep in Trecnh Town.
Only way to do it 👌🏽
I miss hearing people speaking raw, authentic patois. Sighs. I miss and love my people.
Fun fact if your last name is Trench. There is a 95% that you are related because the name is pretty unique. Big up all of my family in Trenchtown.
Wow that’s actually interesting thanks for this information bro 👌🏽
Big up the tour guide great job 👏🏽
He did do a good job 👌🏽
That was a nice little tour.
Yes he did a good job 👌🏽
My boy!!! 🫡🫡
Yerrr
The amount of Reggae legends to come out of Jamaica 🇯🇲 even Kingston, But the way they make it seem like Bob was the only one doing it.
I had no idea how many legends came out of here i really didn’t! I felt honored to see bob Marley’s actual house. It was very interesting to see!
@PoJoTheBackPacker Nah you good brother you didn't know.👍🏾
Peter did a fantastic job of acknowledging other legends from the area 👏🏽
Excellent tour
Thank you for watching
Another winner! Really enjoyed.
Thank you very much👌🏽
Love 💕💞💞💞
Thank you very much for the support!
I first saw that guide on Knowlets Go Tv, where the other guy blackie
I have no idea lol
Bro. I saw Island Grill and my stomach start to rumble. :( Island Grill is my spot.
I’m gunna try this spot a lot of people have commented about it
@@PoJoTheBackPacker bro the festivals there are next level.
I swear I was so mad one time I brought some up and the Immigration officer took them from me. Even to this day. I am upset.
Just a correction for the tour guide, the Jamaica National Anthem was written by Hugh Sherlock. Love your enthusiasm, but you must also provide the correct information to the public. Keep learning and growing your craft.
Thank you very much
The lady in the blue bonnet was in “Taste of Marley”
What is this taste of Marley?
That tour was good
I enjoyed myself thank you for watching 👌🏽
natty dread song mention the streets
👌🏽
That guy is great
He was a big help👌🏽
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you my bro 👌🏽
i told you about uptown rich area anything you buy from there compare to down and country the price is going to triple compared to what you would normally pay,thats the only thing i hare about uptown food price store price anything is sky high rich area
Yea uptown is crazy pricy
@@PoJoTheBackPacker welcome to the rich uptown life,dont even bother ask how much a mansion cost up in the hills,but end of the day its worth it if you cam afford it the house is better built than america and last long no cheap products used
Pojo the Chinese is not just building in Jamaica they have been apart of the culture for 150 years. They consider themselves Jamaican and most have the accent. They have Chinese fusion with Jamaican food too so try the Chinese food in Jamaica. The best! I would say try the Chinese food in uptown Kingston the best is the Jade Garden restaurant in Sovereign Centre in Hope Road. It would be a good place to do content.
I just screenshot your message i will be sure to try this Chinese food
❤
Thank you very much for the support 👌🏽
Just subscribe
Thank you thank you 👌🏽
Our ancestors was in the two world war
Wow very interesting thank you for this information!
I am really curious how much money you spent on the trip as I am thinking of doing my own road trip, did you miss not having a car, costs of Airbnb's etc? Thanks
So the car situation for me did suck because i wanted to see a lot more. But i am sure if i figured out how to use the route taxi in some places i wouldn’t need a car.. i didn’t want to rent a car because im on a budget but I’ve been told you can rent a car for $50 a day. (Don’t quote me on that though) for my trip id say i spent around $1k
You need to get a drone
True but drone footage for me ain’t my style in the videos
threch town is not bad anymore like that as long its not night time nobody going to touch you,as long you not in a gang thats going to start trouble or your wanted,yes Bob kids dont live there they got money,they do come visit trench town they still have friends and family there and Bob kids are well protected by gangs in the area the crew,nobody messes with them,and they like tourist to come come tourist Will spend,but early 8os & 90s you could not go there political war and police shooting there cheap gun at time was no match for the gangs on the opposite side the gangs where well arms with machine guns,when that sprayed at the police and soldiers they had to run and hide and dive for cover,but jow time has change,even Tivoli gardens is a safe place you can go in the Big Don and gang said no killing or rapes can take place in there of anyonw does that you better do it outisde the community cause when you name gets called and they catch you then they going ro take your life,if you steal they chop off your hands of foot to make a example to anyone that wants to do criminal activity in the community
I want to visit the mural wall in tivoli gardens.. i think i will find someone who can take me
@@PoJoTheBackPackeryes find someone to take you there uts a safe place,popice and souldier are there sinece the leader Dudus is gone for a bit little tiny things been happening in the area that could jever happened so some of these criminals was taking advantage of it,but go in the day not in the night cause the head leader is not there to protect you but your stoll safe,
Those are not upscale houses sir 🙂
Maybe not to you but maybe to someone else it is. No need to come here with negativity
Sad the PNP was in power for 26 or so years and did nothing to
Develop their constituency. Sad it looks the same as it did when bob Marley was a child there. Also more sad the famous people that made it out did not give back nor contribute to changing the state of things yet they are worshipped as heroes. I know crime ravaged the these west Kingston communities since the 70s but there cannot be change if the people are not invested in, the leaders neglected and abandoned these communities for decades. But now since the social media era alot of tourists coming in so they’re constructing all these murals and signs that serve as no value to the community
Yea probably should create something better than murals and signs although they are a nice touch
New Kingston is not the place to be 😂
Why not?
Give me your reasoning as to why it’s not the place to be?
@PoJoTheBackPacker I've heard less than flattering thing about the people over there but u should be good, it ain't dangerous or ntn
People's spirits are high but the entire place is torn down and dilapidated. This unfortunately is generational poverty.
I agree but there is Beauty around every corner with talented people
The most grimy places THIS JOKER, he will find it
😂
I hope yuh paid him
Of course i did but do i have to show that on camera ?
You don't have to show that on camera bro .... I think people keep asking because alot of times people use them and then end up painting a bad picture .... so don't feel bad about it
@PoJoTheBackPacker no you don't show on camera. Some ppl in the chat are just rude and inappropriate smh
