Also, if the earthquake didn't happen, would Port Royal remain Jamaicas' main port of entry?

​@kyafikaloo7268 the Institute of jamaica (IOJ), National Museum of Jamaica, and the national library of jamaica are some places that houses these records. As you can imagine, guided tours such as those that would be given at like Fort Charles are so on are at times a little "dressed up or diluted" for the tourists.

He just bored

The reason if u come to tastees and cant bother to join the line and wait to collect the patties, its quicker to buy it from the vendors. Its like $30 more or so. U should totally try juici cheese patties

@@oneilchambers1938 bro. I did it in 2023 and first I had to get over the anxiety and the stories about traversing the corners but I definitely agree with you. I was happy to see that a soup vendor that me and my uncle used to stop at to get corn and soup was still there.

I can give you history of Port Royal bro👊🏾

@Po'JoTheBackpacker Great vlog, really brought back memories of school trip as a child in prep school (about 6 years old). What happen to Giddy House, that is the attraction at Port Royal. Living in New York almost 50 years. FYI...That was not a term of endearment. It never will be considering that Buju Banton spent time in US prison because of his lyrics, plus Jamaica does not have a pleasant history - see asylum seekers who claim Homophobic and discrimination as the reason for wanting to leave Jamaica. Your host may have been trained on cultural tours in Jamaica; however, being call a ba**yman is NOT! Don't ever let anyone disrespect you like that, especially if you don't know them. No-no-no!!!!!!! Please read, and research. Just like BBC is NOT appropriate language, it wreaks of vulgarity, it is foul, classless and ignorant - Spice (Dancehall entertainer) actually glorified it (the word) on a trip in Europe and my people forgot their self respect and respect for others. "Nuh mek nuh ghost fool yu!" Some Jamaican Patios (DIALECT/pronounced Pat-wah)
