Cool site! I am a Polish Canadian guy. I live with my cousin and her boyfriend, who is Jamaican. Since he is the new boss of the house, I figured we should learn more about Jamaica! Really interested in learning more about Jamaican culture, people, etc. and hope to visit Jamaica one day.

Welcome to ETJ.

To begin to learn about Jamaica and its culture you could start by getting to know your cousin's boyfriend. But that would all depends on if he was born and bred in Jamaica or only of Jamaican parents, as well as how "in-bred" he still is with his Jamaican culture.

You can also post as many questions here on ETJ as you would like as well as just sit back, grab a hot cup of chocolate (or a cool drink) and just dig into the myriad of threads that are already posted here.

One word of caution though... The many views and opinions that you may preview here are just "opinions" based on individual experiences, not GENERAL facts defining ALL Jamaicans.

The only sure solid way of gaining a full understanding of the Jamaican culture is to actually spend some time IN Jamaica amongst the local people.

Until such time, enjoy ETJ and post away at your hearts content.

Thanks for the great reply! Yes, my cousin and I are now addicts for all things Jamaican, so I am doing everything to get know her boyfriend better! There is a great Jamaican community here in Canada, and Poles and Jamaicans seek to mix well.... so hopefully I will learn more.

Welcome Polski!!!
