i liked your essay a lot. its a funny ting dat about jamrock for some of us. first time i set foot years ago i felt this tremendous deja vu and feeling of home. i could not describe it. since that time i have come to realize that it is home to me, tho i was nevah born deh, i feel like i was!

since the culture, music, people, food of the islands are the things that make me happy.

first time some one told me, "yah walk like a Jamaican gurl" i felt it was the nicest compliment paid i in me life!

glad to see so many others feel the same.
