Jamaica vs Trinidad! Are all Caribbean countries the same? 

Yess same. Me too 🙏🏾

​@@RiazPhillips Trinidad also has roots in the the French Caribbean Islands and Venezuela.

I don't like when Trinidad brag about how they are richer than Jamaica when their quality of life is the same! In all these islands, rich people getting richer and poor people getting poorer. So it's not so much about the GDP, it's about how the average person is actually living!

How about everyone 🤔

I don’t go to carnival for the music I go for the exotic women

Thank you!

Thank you!

That part! Well said. ❤

Yes. One of my faves. Hope you not too cold in England!

@Riaz Phillips 🤣🤣 always too 🥶

All facts! 🤝

Same experience in Trinidad,the Immigration Officer behaved as if she hated me.

@@soniawilson8219 Sorry, bro. Some people forget that they themselves are people too.

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

He did say Trinidad had the best Carnival! I mean for their country yes, but dancehall and reggae is world wide and we have a lot of big sunsplash parties to rival! We don't really play soca music in our country that's why it's not really popular but Trinidad play a lot of reggae and dancehall music. Even a lot of their artist try to chant in patois...Let's just put it this way, each island has their own music and style so no need to compare!

​@@jennalud4748 well people no Brasil in Trinidad for their carnival so I understand why he said there carnivals the best because the other Islands try to duplicate it but don't compare

​@@RiazPhillips NEW Subscriber here. This is probably the 1st time I came across ur channel & 1st video I watched. LOVED IT!!!! Greetings from Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹 Keep up the great work!!!

I agree. It's great to see ppl outside of the Caribbean, trying to become well informed of the differences of all the islands. We may have some similarities, BUT we're all very unique. Food, culture, vocal dialects etc.

🙏🙏🙏

Yes very true ,the Caribbean is one , but Jamaica and Trinidad have a unique bond.. i'm Trinidadian by the way much love Jamaica

​@@clarkeandrews4870 I see some downright nasty comments about Jamaica, from time to time on these sites.

@@RiazPhillips TT have a special bond, with all the islands sorounding, allyu cluster of islands.Not Jamaicans. The make up of Caricom proves this. Nothing important to the grouping is ever decided in Jamaica.. Including where Caricom headquarters is located. I am convicted we(Jamaicans ) made the right decision,when we rejected ,the federation . When we look at how Caricom is structured . All the other islands vote as a block, which typically vote against anyting to benefit Jamaica . Even the streets ,unlike Jamaica, aren't ever named after places in Jamaica, as we do.

Much love my Jamaican 🇯🇲 brother Greetings from Trinidad🇹🇹

Yeah, Its a shame they make it so expensive to fly to other Caribbean islands from one to another

Thank you!

Thank you! You wont regret Tobago!

Ah I did forget to mention mauby! There was a lot I didn’t fit in. Ill have to ask my fam if they heard of Spirit weed. Thats Very interesting! Thank you

I'm from Trinidad and I don't drink mauby. Also, my family never cooked with chadon beni and my first taste of it made me feel physically ill. Over the years I've grown more tolerant of it by eating micro-doses.

Thank you!

Thank you! I appreciate it alot!

As a trini, I love our food…but Jamaican jerk!! Is life!

Glad you loved Trini food. My family who live in the US & UK are always carrying frozen local food back home after they visit during Carnival time LOL!!! (Curry Chicken/Duck, Saheena, Aloo Pie, Pelau, Calalloo etc)

Yes Star, Nuff Respek

Thank you! Cant wait to visit barbados

All true! 🙏

@Riaz Phillips we are all unique ✌️

But you never see a Jamaican making these videos to compare with other island countries, its always other islands doing it, so your claim is invalid. We Jamaicans consider ourselves to be the best so we dont need validation. People who do comparison videos need it. We also have nothing against other countries who call themselves the best, we like when others are confident.

@NativeNomads10 Jamaica is still the same. Nothing changed. Look at the economy and how much one US dollar is?

@@joycerussell4815 A person who doesnt understand economy yet talks about it. If you had sense you would focus on the real value not the nominal value. In Jamaica, even though our nominal value fluctuates, our real value is still better than Trinidad, and even the United states which speak volume. You should focus on you all high unemployment rate and inflation rate

Thank you! 🙏🏾

Im not too sure. I was with family. East of Port of Spain seemed cool or if you want a more country vibe maybe Moruga or Chaguaramas. Of course Tobago is an easy answer too
