Callao is originally from West Africa. It was on the island way before the arrival of Indians, documented in 1696. African can to Jamaica 1517. John canoe is of african origin. There are other influence not mentioned. Mango is from India but it was brought by whites. I believe they brought Ganga and curry.
Thanks for your comment! You're right-callaloo in Jamaica was on the island way before the arrival of Indians, but it has roots in multiple cultures. While it mainly refers to the African amaranth species, the term also covers various leafy greens, "can only put so much in a 60 second short". Indian labourers brought plants like taro leaves in the 19th century, adding to the mix. So, today's callaloo is a blend of African, Asian, and indigenous influences, reflecting Jamaica's rich agricultural heritage. Out Of Many One People.
Um... what!?! So low to mid 20's is "Harsh Canadian climate"? My guy, Canada and even more so Nova Scotia is not an icy wasteland year round, we do have spring summer and fall where the temps and weather is not bad at all... So no snow and ice here in the summer.
Hey! I totally get it. Nova Scotia has stunning seasons beyond winter. The "harsh climate" comment was just about winter. No ice and snow in the summer, for sure! Loved visiting Halifax when I was a flight attendant-lobster there is way cheaper than in Ontario. Flying back home with live lobsters was the best! Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for your comment! Jamaica's rich agricultural history is fascinating. Ganja, mangoes, curry, and tamarind have long been a part of Jamaican culture. The Indian community did, however, contribute significantly to popularizing and integrating these elements into Jamaican cuisine and culture in unique ways. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing that! Even though I researched the topic, the comment above made me second-guess myself. The East Indian mango does have a rich history connected to India, and it's interesting to see how our favorite foods often have such deep cultural roots. Thanks for the reminder!
Absolutely, curry is well-known, but the origin of "ganja" surprised me too! Thanks for the comment-I learned something new about "ganja" being named after the "Ganges River" in India! 🇮🇳 Thanks for watching.
That's an interesting perspective! Anansi is indeed a popular character in African folklore, and it's fascinating to see how stories and traditions can travel and evolve across different cultures. Thanks for sharing your insight and watching!
@@shermede1986 I don't remember exactly when, but some years ago there was a gathering in Amsterdam of storytellers from different countries, all telling stories of Anansi. What I noticed was that some stories had the same premise, but changed in detail, adapted to the environment/situation these groups of people found themselves in. What I found more fascinating was that some stories didn't change at all, like the one of how Anansi became the keeper of all stories.
I'm not a huge wine fan, but I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty their raspberry wine was. It's the only one I've tried, so I can't speak for the others. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. Your feedback is truly appreciated!
In my video, you'll spot a hut right around the 3:55 - 4:05 mark, that's the spot where you can make your payment. They accept both credit card and cash, so you have flexibility in your payment method. If the time schedule hasn't changed the boat ride leaves at 11:00 AM and the evening one leaves at 4:00PM.
I know that this city is named Morón and pronounced different, but they really should embrace the humour and have a giant sign for tourists to take a photo in front of. A lot more people would pay the high cost to visit the city from Cayo Coco if they had a sign that declared them a Moron. In all seriousness, I regret not visiting the city when we were in Cayo Coco. The price was high and the beaches were hard to leave.
I totally get what you mean, when it comes to the sign, I can definitely seeing it drawing in more visitors. It's a shame you missed out on Morón, but hey, there's always next time, right? And those beaches in Cayo Coco was absolutely irresistible, so I can't blame you for soaking up every moment there. What hotel did you stay at ? Did you visit Playa Pilar Beach ?
@@shermede1986 Melia Cayo Coco. No we never visited Playa Pilar (to be honest we were very happy with the beach at the resort). It was my first time in the Caribbean and my wife and I loved it. Our first long trip alone now that the kids have grown. I know if you stay at a resort you aren't really helping the Cuban people (compared to a casa) but at least we brought half a suitcase of stuff for the resort workers and of course lots of paper bill tips. I liked the fact that in the bus ride from the airport to the resort the guide explained that what we were about to experience at the resort isn't the reality of Cuba for most citizens. I got the impression that some of my fellow tourists didn't bother to educate themselves much beforehand.
¡Gracias por compartir tus pensamientos! La historia ha moldeado a cada país de maneras únicas, y es fascinante ver cómo diferentes culturas y sociedades han evolucionado a lo largo del tiempo. Intento centrarme en explorar la belleza y diversidad de lugares alrededor del mundo. Pero, si los españoles terminaran gobernando sobre Cuba, ¿crees que sería diferente?
Thank you for your comment! @esmiegodson8765. I appreciate your enthusiasm for Portland, and you're absolutely right there's so much more to explore beyond what I've experienced. I plan to visit again soon, and if I wasn't such a workaholic, I'd be there in a heartbeat! ❤️ Tx for Watching
1. I was in Cuba 23 times. Six times out of 23 - Cayo Coco. last time in January 2024 (Angstana). Absolutely acceptable. 2. You should understand one thing - when you pay $800 - $1000 for one week (flight, hotel, drink, food and entertainment) - you can not expect the same if you paid $2000 - $2500. 3. If you go to Cuba for food - mistake. But: the beach, the ocean, the sun, Rom, cigars, music, people - that is Cuba. And there will always be beer, rom-cola and something to eat.
@user-fp2xv9ls2z Thank you for sharing your experiences! It's fascinating to hear about your numerous trips to Cuba, especially your visits to Cayo Coco. Your point about managing expectations based on the price paid for the trip is certainly valid. Each budget range offers its own set of experiences, and it's essential for traveller's to understand this, I just expect more for less sometimes. Your perspective on what makes Cuba special-it's beaches, ocean, sun, rum, cigars, music, and the vibrant local culture. It's reminds me that Cuba offers much more. I defiantly need to go again for sure. Thanks again for your valuable insights! I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
You have such a unique method of taking videos in Curacao. I enjoy these. Your voice is soothing, easy to understand and you provide great information. Great job 👏 👍 great music too.
Hey, @kathleenmalloy160 thanks a bunch for the awesome feedback! I'm thrilled you're enjoying the videos and the vibe I bring to them. Your support keeps me motivated to create more content.
@fracazzo Apologies for the loud music! Perhaps it's a subtle hint to lower the volume and appreciate the visuals instead. Just kidding! Admittedly, this was my first video editing attempt, so while you're absolutely correct, I'm pleasantly surprised it's gaining views. Thank you for taking the time to comment, though! Rest assured, I hope this video hasn't deterred you from exploring my other content. I can promise you, the music won't be as loud in the future!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's always good to hear different perspectives. I'll keep your feedback in mind for future videos. buts its the best way to show off the full 360 views.
I can Absolutely see it now! Picture this: cows moonwalking through the fields, chickens clucking in perfect harmony, and sunflowers doing the cha-cha in the breeze. It's a farmyard fiesta fit for a psychedelic journey! Just be wary of the talking scarecrow he's been known to offer some 'enlightened' advice. Thanks for watch @is1that1all your comment made me laugh.
Imagine how much the fauna is disturbd whith these tourist jumping and screaming ! sound travels far in water....I do not encourage this type of trips 👎👎
Ah, yes, the underwater wildlife are probably hosting their own underwater protest with banners that read 'Marine Rights Matter!' and 'Down with Snorkelers!' But hey, at least they have a captive audience to watch. BTW Thanks for watching and writing a comment @simonac688. You should check out my other videos about Cuba. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1dbar93zte0.html
Hey @johndorian3685! Thrilled that you tuned in! My travel buddy and I explored two resorts in Cayo Coco. We kicked off at Memories Caribe Beach Resort, but it was geared more towards an older crowd-just didn't vibe with us. We opted for a change of scenery, hopped on a double-decker bus for a 30-40 minute ride to Gran Muthu Rainbow Hotel in Cayo Guillermo, and let me tell you, it was a total game-changer! more things to do and closer to better beaches Although, I've gotta be honest, the food at both resorts left a bit to be desired over. For anyone planning tours in Cuba, my suggestion is to stick to the resort excursions-they're more reliable. I only highly recommend booking the glass-bottom boat tour that departs from Playa Pilar Beach to Cayo Media Luna; you can snag this tour outside the resort, and it's kinder on the wallet. Be sure to check out my first video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H3XMELP7DdA.html for more trip insights and answers to your questions. Huge thanks for your support! Your enthusiasm truly means a lot, @johndorian3685! Wishing you an absolutely fantastic time on your travels!
Wow, thanks! I'm stoked that you felt like you were right there with me. I had a blast capturing those moments and I'm glad it came through in the video.Thanks foe watching.
