This is a message from my daughter, Charlotte, aged 9, who is doing a project on Jamaica:

“Thanks for doing this web site – it has given me loads of information about Jamaica and its people. Even if I don’t get quite a good mark for my project, I will still be grateful for the research that your site has given me. Love from Charlotte”

Your site is fantastic, and has really given us a desire to visit Jamaica – one day!

Thanks very much, keep up the great work.
Kind regards,
Michelle

Good Afternoon, …. I want to tell you that having an email account @jamaicans.com means something very,very special to me. I have not been able to come home for at least two years because I must stay in the US to care for my terminally ill parents. …… I miss JA, my friends, the way of life, the food, the beauty and spirit of Jamaicans, EVERYTHING ! Somehow, spending time on your excellent website, after I look at my mail, makes me feel “connected”. I ‘ m experiencing deeply in my heart the truth of the saying : “absence makes the heart grow fonder”. Your site brought tears to my eyes today 🙂 happy memories,love for my friends and a Hope that I ‘ll soon be there again
Ms.J. Sullivan
Thanks for all the great stuff on the site!

I don’t mean to be yet another e-mail that you need to read. But I just had to write and thank you for a wonderful web site.

My 11 year old son needed to do a school report on Jamaica, and found your site to be VERY helpful!

Thank you so much for the Jamaica for Kids section!

God Bless You and your hard work on this web site.

I enjoy your website site very much! I brought back curry & ginger spices from Jamaica…where I discovered that I actually do love curry…but only when it is cooked for 20 minutes+–thoroughly through the food. Prior to that, I thought I disliked it and I did because restaurants in the US tend to not cook it long enough.

This website is wonderful! I’ve spent quite a few hours looking for a good Jamaican resource on-line…I can’t believe I just now found you. You’re recipes are truly authentic, compared to all the other “so called Jamaican” recipes floating around. It is very informative and easy to navigate. Thank you for creating such a good
website.

Just recently discovered Jamaicans.com. It’s a great site. I want to extend my sincere gratitude to you and everyone at Jamaicans.com. Ever since the day I discovered this site, I always take pride telling others about it.I enjoy browsing through it. There is always something in the discussion
forum that make me LOL.

Jamaicans.com is a God send. I was born in Spanish Town, Jamaica and left at the age of 15 to the U.S. Virgin Islands. Having a venue like Jamaicans.com to reach my fellow Jamaicans is a dream come true. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

I believe it’s a great achievement for Jamaicans all over the world to voice their ideas- Good luck to Jamaicans.com

I am glad I came upon this website, reading the other people’s comments about Jamaica makes me feel proud and blessed that I was born in such a beautiful country. To all Jamaicans just keep it real and don’t forget where you come from.

Heidi

Great site…It’s been interesting going through the comments. However, the web site it’self has been very educative and entertaining for me. It has now become one of my regular stops on the net. Keep up the good work and keep Jamaica shining. This is a positive sign and a change from having all the negative publicity about us in the media.

www.jamaicans.com is truly a piece of art!!! One of the best sites I’ve ever seen… Jah Guidance

I’m Jamaican and this website is a perfect example of why I’m proud to have been born and raised on such a beautiful island (possibly the most beautiful island in the world).

Sacha

Thank you for having this web site. I’m a student in college and I needed to get some information about Jamaica for my Business class final presentation. Your web site gave me more than enough. Once again, thank you.

This site is great. My family is planning a trip to Montego Bay in December and this site helped give us an idea of what to expect. We are very excited and ‘counting the days’. Thanks! I really liked the SPEAK JAMAICAN pages and the stories about CHRISTINE in Canada were fun to read.

It is great to be informed of what is happening in the beautiful land of wood & sunshine, Island of Jamaica. It is with great pleasure that I commend the persons who helped to make this site what it is. One love!!!!!!!!!! Peace Out!!!!!!

I absolutely love the “Jamaica Story Time” it’s unique to your site. It brought back so many wonderful memories. I appreciate the great work and creativity in keeping us in touch with the Homeland. Fabulous page!!!

This is a great web site. I love the Jamaican people and culture and am always looking for new ways to keep updated. This website introduced me to new things. Keep up the good work!

Alison Ingram

I think this web site is a good way for Jamaicans who live in London to keep in touch with what is going on. This is also a good idea for people to get in touch with their friends who they may not have seen for a while. Another thing I like about this web site is being able to get the most up to date info on all sorts of topics. What I’m trying to say is this web site is da bomb!!!

Another interesting part of this site is its Bulletin Board! It’s hilarious and informative. Found it by “accident.” It’s worth a peek!

Oswald Ferguson

Albany, GA USA

 

This is an absolutely brilliant site! I’m a Jamaican living in London for too long now. It is great to see Jamaica on-line and the ‘link-up’ where other Jamaicans (and otherwise) can communicate with each other. The discussions are very interesting and some of the jokes really had me in stitches. Keep up the good work!

Sandy

London, UK

 

It is good see that my fellow Jamaicans can come and converse about culture. It is sometimes hard to know that you are so far away from your home land and there is no way you can check out what is going on. I am to say that I am Jamaican born and breed. So keep up the good work! Irie!!!!

It is so wonderful to see and read all the wonderful things about my home. It makes me so homesick.

Thank you for helping us stay in touch with Jamaica. Visiting the Negril board brings back so much memories of the good times I once had in Negril before moving to Toronto.

I think this web site is a very good idea and allows people just an initial inside view of the beauty of JAMAICA, my favorite island and one where I do have some roots. To experience it for yourself, you MUST take a trip!!!!!

This site is wonderful. I have it book marked both at home and at work. I recently grabbed some information for a student who was doing an article on Jamaica for her presentation. I got a wealth of information for her from this site. I thoroughly enjoy the humor. I visit on a regular basis. Keep it up.

I found this website by chance and I must say it is fantastic!!! It is informative, while hilarious. I’ve forwarded the site to a bunch of friends so they can share in the jokes. It’s nice to see something like this that is really for Jamaicans, obviously by fun-loving Jamaicans and not only for potential tourists. Great job!!!!

I just happened upon this site. It is wonderful, I am extremely happy to find it. Reading every body’s stories have taken up my entire lunch hour. Anyhow, it was worth it. It is just so good to see everyone on this site.

I feel fortunate to have stumbled on this site. I cannot begin to express the pride and joy I felt in my country and nationality. This, to me, demonstrates what I have always known and that is Jamaica has the ability to be more than just a developing nation. This is truly a step in the right direction…towards an age of technology and advancement. To all the Jamaicans out there…never doubt your strength and abilities or that of your country.

This site is definitely one of the best out there on the web; all props go to the designers and staff who put this page together. Viewed the page in its entire entirety and trust me it was a stress beater. Studying all the way from home is a pain and this site was a true experience for me to kick back and laugh. Although most of the things are funny, most is true, especially the Ja-Fa-kan part. Much love

L. Brown

Your site has much useful information on the culinary arts of Jamaica. As a restaurateur in New Mexico (Jamaican Grill) you have made it possible to create house specials that are just wonderful and greatly received by my clients. Keep up the good work and thanks again. Peace.

God knows how long I have been looking for a worthwhile Jamaican site to visit. It gets lonely sometimes when you’re trying so hard to find a Jamaican on line. I have enjoyed visiting this site and I will continue to do so. Nuff respect!!! Ann
