Q&A on Jamaica
Its not a game as such just a way of sharing/learning facts about JA.......Simple, answer the question about Jamaica and then pose one of your own
 Q: What is the Arawak word from which Jamaica got its name, and what does it mean?

Re: Q&A on Jamaica
The word I believe is "xaymaica" and it means "land of water and wood".
I might not be correct but I decided NOT to google it and just go with what I know. My question: What is unique about Jamaica's flag?

Re: Q&A on Jamaica
It contains the colours found in just about every African flag. The South African flag has part of the Jamaican flag.
It also looks good when you wrap it around your neck like Superman.

Re: Q&A on Jamaica
DWL shut up Samba!!!!!!! I actually knew that about the S.African flag.
The answer is: Its the only flag that DOESN'T have any of the colors in the US flag. How many counties does Jamaica have??
