    Everyone loves a Jamaican food post so here’s a new one for you! Can you believe it took me 14 trips to Jamaica to even know what “chunks & beans” was? I found it at Fishermans Beach in Ochi and I think I overdosed on it in a two-week period of time. Unless a place…

    Here’s the next post under “living in Jamaica”. I thought I’d give you the rundown on what it was/is like to find yourself a place to live on the island. I won’t lie, there are some headaches in the process of doing this when you don’t actually live there yet. I got my apartment back…

    Okay yes, I go to strip clubs and go go bars in Jamaica once in a while. I have valid reasons and it’s not to watch scantily clad females strip! #1 the music at the go go bars is bumpin all the time. #2 they aren’t packed with people and least of all men trying…

    Car Horns in Jamaica My first time in Jamaica I thought they had the rudest road manners on the planet! My second time, after touring half the island as a passenger, I was enlightened to the entire unwritten code of the horn honk. My fourteenth time I became part of the road and in turn part…

    Video of Bamboo Avenue Ever since May of 2003 when I was practically a Jamaica virgin I’ve been wanting to find Bamboo avenue again and drive through it, only this time I wanted to pay attention! That trip years ago was only my second time in Jamaica and I was a passenger and had no…

    Our stop in Bluefields on the south coast of Jamaica was spontaneous. This was part of our 2-day, 9-parish trek with no agenda. Actually our only agenda this day was to tour the Appleton estate and rum factory but because of all these little gorgeous places to stop we never did make to Appleton! The…

    This post covers a few odd or funny things I came across on my last trip to Jamaica. There’s really no category they’d fit into and each has their own funny story. First up – the ashtray. Now that I have my own apartment there I needed to furnish it with some standard items that…

    Second Anniversary! This marks the end of the second year of Jamaica My Way. Are you guys bored yet? I just re-read my LAST POST from 2009 and it seems I’ve slacked a little in this second year. I went from 122 posts in 2009 to only 72 posts in 2010 even though I managed…

Things are just different there and I find pure entertainment in everything about Jamaica! So here’s the first installment – shopping at Baschco! For those…
