Jamaica Nightlife



Roaming Donkey - A guide to the best places to play in Jamaica

Well, I seem to have done it again, I have found another site with a strange name, one you would not associate with the subject matter.

I was scouring Google for information on the best nightclubs and bars in Jamaica, after all, you want people to know where they should and should not go and where they can find the sort of entetainment they are looking for.

OK, I'm not Albert Einstien but I am not as thick as a Whale sandwhich either. I typed into the Google search bar "Nightlife in Jamaica" and was presented with a list of suitable sites, one of which was aptley named "Nightlife Jamaica" so, click on the link and I see a website with flashing lights, naughty ladies and people enjoying themselves, or one would think that is what I saw.

Nope! I saw a cartoon donkey that was grinning like a WWII Japanese Zero Pilot! A donkey, y'know, "hee-haw, hee-haw!" with a back pack and Jamaica flag.

As it transpires the great and the good at the appropiatley named http://www.nightlifejamaica.com/ have decided to change the name of their website to http://www.roamingdonkey.com/

No matter! It's a great website with oodles of information on it about Jamaica, Jamaica nightlife, where to eat, what to see, what are the top rated bars, clubs etc. This website is a must to anyone who wants to hit the ground running and get into their holiday mood the second they get off the plane.

You can join this site and get first hand information from other site users.

Take a look at the Roaming Donkey website and let me know what you think.

Things Jamaicans Love



Things Jamaicans Love: Music

I have found another fantastic website called Things Jamaicans Love. The site is very funny and you will love it. I do. The site does what it say's on the tin, TJL as we shall know by, is all about those things that Jamaicans do or think of doing, things Jamaicans love to eat, things Jamaicans love to say and lots more.

You are hard pressed to find anything on this Things Jamaican Love website that is not funny or interesting.

The Definitive Guide to Jamaican Table Manners is hilarious. The following is a little extract:
3. Grill your waiter on the menu items and their accompaniments. E.g.“Is local goat or imported mutton? Mi only eat local rammy yuh know.”
“What yuh serve wid di tripe? Rice an peas? Plain rice? Food?
“ Is nuff food yuh get?”
“So I can get curry goat gravy wid di the fry chicken?”
“Is why yuh face screw up so? Yuh work inna restaurant, so mi know seh yuh nuh hungry.”

Take a look at this great site. http://www.thingsjamaicanslove.com/ramblings_2.html

Definitive Guide to Jamaica

The Definitive Guide to Jamaica video presentation

Everyone who reads this Blog (both of you) will know by now that I pillage the Internet for material that will be helpful for anyone thinking of renting a Jamaica Villa or coming to Jamaica for a holiday or a wedding or a family reunion.

Youtube has some great videos, it also has some bad videos but I have found one that is really good. There is a website called the Definitive Caribbean http://www.definitivecaribbean.com/ and they have their own Youtube chanel which has great videos of Jamaica and other Caribbean Islands. The video of Jamaica posted in this Blog is a great representation of Jamaica ina 9 minute video.

If you have a spare 9 minutes, please watch this Jamaica presentation, you will really enjoy it. The lady doing the voice over sounds very nice.

Dunn'a River Falls, Ochos Rios, Jamaica

 Dunn's River Falls, Ochos Rios, Jamaica

I thought I would give you a treat and bung some videos onto the Blog and so I have scoured Youtube for some decent videos of Jamaica and I came across this video for Dunn's River falls at Ochos Rios (Eight Rivers)

There isn't eight rivers at Ochos Rios, the name is a misnomer, a misinterpretation of the Spanish word "The Waterfalls" Las Chorreros by the British. This was the setting for a rather dodgey Tom Cruise film called "Cocktail" I don't know what was worse, Tom's acting as a cocktail barman cum Romeo/Gigalo or the florid shirts the director made him wear for the film.

Buy hey! here's people enjoying themselves in Jamaica, that's great to see. We also have a great villa here that I would like you to see.

Scotch on the Rocks Villa, Ochos Rios, Jamaica.
