One of the best interviews! Dewayne knew his stuff about his current country. He kept the conversation flowing without Xavier having to ask too many questions. Dewayne seemed very happy, which is wonderful. Nice that he reconnected with his childhood friend from watching this series. And, yes, Xavier, Jamaicans are surely advertising KFC and Tastee/Juici patties on almost EVERY interview. They need to be paid by these companies. 😀

I second that.
As a host, occasionally you'll have a guest who's a brilliant narrator, thereby making your show and your job most intriguing and effortless. This is one such individual, Dewayne.
Dwayne never skip a beat I was intrigued the whole time watching it would seems like he was there for over a decade. Keep them coming Xavier, have a bless Sunday y,all
Definitely a top 5 in the series - the knowledge, passion, and vivid story telling - Dewayne takes us on a deep dive. Brilliant!

Respect Xavier for this interview with Dewayne , man a feeling proud being a jamaican. Much Love and Blessings 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
He's so well-spoken! And he left the plug too 😅
This is by far my favorite interview!! The flow of the conversation; very insightful and informative. Thank you Dewayne, brought back some memories of by time passing through Bahrain as an active duty member. American Alley was my spot too😁

Thanks Sheena, you are most welcome. I love Americam Alley 😆
Well, he´s a teacher and living in an Arabic country so it goes without saying that he would be able to learn the language....he´s a smart gentleman so he has embraced the culture well
This is very impressive. Dwayne you have learned the culture and everything so well. You are a great teacher fi real. The Bahraini people are very discipline.
I love this program, 😀 Love ❤ 😍 💖 been a Jamaican 🇯🇲
Xavier I love your program I almost can't wait to see the next episodes. Very interested interviews. It gives different perspectives on what's its like to live outside of Jamaica 🇯🇲 I'm hooked ❤

Another brilliant interview Xavier and Dewayne appears to be having a great time out there in Bahrain. You can tell that he enjoys teaching and it must be so rewarding to teach those students who are so eager to learn. I wish him all the very best.
I have consistently enjoyed these interviews by Xavier but this i think is the best. Dewayne is articulate. Passionate. Knowledgable. I now want to visit Bahrain. Fabulous. Blessings. ♡♡♡🥰🇯🇲🇯🇲❤❤
Wow! I am so intrigued by this interview! DeWayne was amazing! I was completely captivated and learned a lot about Bahrain. So much so, that I was able to pronounce it properly😊. Well done Xavier! Love and Light to you as you continue to bless us with these beautiful interviews. More power to our Jamaicans living abroad and sharing with us. God bless!
Very very interesting and intriguing interview. Dewayne looked very happy in Bahrain. Xavier you are doing a very good thing, showcasing Jamaicans all over the world. Nuff respect 🙏
I love this interview.Dwayne is just a fine talker.He knows we want to hear as much as he can give in a limited time.
Another addition to my bucket list.… Have to link with Dewayne for the places to visit lol
Thanks for educating us, Teacher! I'm glad you knew how to say "goodbye" in an informal way. A lot of these interviews I've watched, when the interviewee is asked this question, the response is that he/she does not know, and he or she has been living in the country much, much longer than you've been living in Bahrain, which is only 3 or 4 years. I never quite understood that. I would imagine "Hello" and "Goodbye " are at least a couple of the first phrases one would pick up in a foreign country. Keep up the great work, Dewayne. Stay safe.
🇯🇲 Most eloquent guest. Would've appreciated knowing what subject he teaches & the nation's pay-scale for his type of work. Very sure many prospective teachers are contemplating making the leap if the scale is right.

Thank you very much. I would be happy to give you some info anytime.
Dewayne is so fluent great storyteller…..his students are fortunate to have him
I have been to Jamaica, worked in cayman islands, and now I'm in bahrain, true yah tell Sir Dewayne.
One of the best interviews I've watched. Keep up the good job Xaviere. Dewayne you did very well🤗
Dwayne look him belly... I love his interview from the start to the end, he is so inviting with his conversation.
Wow!! Very informative
Excellent interview. Very interesting and informative. Keep up the good work Xavier. Dewayne, you represented Jamaica very well.
Dewayne is very knowledgeable about the culture, I learnt a whole lot! I also love his expression! He is so animated and joyful! I think part of it is the fact that he is a teacher! My mom, also a teacher, is the same way! Love it!! 😄
Excellent interview, seem like I could not get enough, I could listen for another 30 minutes ❤️❤️🇱🇷🇯🇲
Another great interview 👏Xavier Murphy. Thanks for sharing 👍😊. I enjoyed this interview 😀. Thank you Dwyane.
Wow…another great interview….Dewayne is very articulate, intelligent, on point and a pleasure to listen to!! All the best…love how you represent JA…all the very best!!
You can tell from the get go when the person is going to be fun and riveting ....NOT that the others aren't but sometimes they tend to be a bit shy and less forthcoming ✌️
A very interesting interview, I had no idea that Jamaicans would go there. Jamaicans are really international and are very adventurous,
Dwayne is such a delightful person so knowledgeable. I could continue listening awhile longer.Great interview makes me want to get there sometime soon.
Dwayne is very impressive in educating us on the culture. Phenomenal personality. I could have listened to him forever. Dwayne what side of the road they drive? Will you be visiting your friend in Malta?
Another excellent interview,so appreciate it. Great job
Xavier please interview a Jamaican living in Saint Lucia
Great interview D.B.
Very good interview 👏
Dwayne you are a wealth of information and very interesting to listen to.
Another lively and informative interview. Learnt a lot about the Bahraini's culture and practices. Diwayne is a true Jamaican with good sense of humour.
Best interview in my opinion. Dewayne is jovial, a great communicator, very intelligent and undoubtedly a Teacher. Thanks Xavier for bringing him on your show..great job!
Wow! I enjoyed this interview immensely!🤗 Dwayne never stopped; he seemed to have taken in quite a lot about Bahrain during his short time of being there. He sold the place to me and makes it sounds like it's easy to live there as a foreigner. Thank you Xavier and Dwayne for an awesome interview.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤗❤
Bahrain the best place to be am from kenya currently working in Bahrain awesome place.
Very good interview, the information flowed so well. He spoke so well and it was informative. Thanks again!
This is one of the best interviews and I am very impressed with Dwayne’s responses. Keep up the good work Xavier
Really,, really enjoyed this conversation Dewayne. Truly wonderful seeing you.

Dewayne, it's a joy listening to you about your awesome, experience teaching in a new country with a different culture from yours.
Blessings all the way my brother ☝
This is the most interesting interview that I've seen from this channel so far👏
DeWayne's interview was powerful. Blessings! I can see he's having a great time in Bahrain.👏I had a colleague who went to teach in Bahrain and wrote back to say she enjoyed being there. I've lost touch with her, so I don't know if she's still there. When you mentioned the US military base, I remembered that, and also her saying, there was loads of entertainment.
Very interesting
I enjoy your channel so much.. it is so informative..I am learning so much about how truly big this world is... I have never heard of Bahrain before this interview. Thanks Xavier for bringing the world to my front door.
Great interviews ! Big Up Zaphia! We de all bout a di world 🌎

Great interview.....conversation flowed freely and was quite upbeat and informative.
Lovely interview keep up the good work.
Great interview, wonderful young man who represents the Country very well. I look forward to watching these every week and this one did not disappoint. I think Dwayne should stay in Bahrain, he seems to have found his groove there and I am sure any side hustle or business he may develop would do very well. Yes...I also like those Arab. Oud Colognes, here in USA we're often just getting copies but he's getting the real deal over there. Anyways..keep up the good work.
Vey interesting and informative conversation.
Great representation of Jamaica, Dwayne. I salute you!!!
High accuracy, very captivating guest and great attention to detailed and vivid explanations 🌺
Very impressive 👏

As Ugandan living in Bahrain really enjoyed the interview 🙏
Very nice interview. We have a mutual friend living in Bahrain that sent me this video 😅. Hopefully one day I'll get to visit and we all hang out..Bless
Dewayne have such positive energy. Definitely number 1 in the series for me.
Grate that was nice.guyanese and j.are oll over the world.god bless
Very good interview, he is ur best guess hands down. Very knowledgeable and engaging.
Wonderful interview! Xavier, you are doing a great project...Informative, educational and inspiring! Keep up the good work...Jamaicans to the world!👏❤💯
Xavier I just can’t wait for more virtual tours around the world through our Jamaicans who are living in different parts of the world. Once again this was a great interview. The patty and the kfc thing again, mi mouth a wata.
Wonderful
Yea Middle East is the best region to work!!
Another brilliant interview! Dwayne undoubtedly is very knowledgeable and insightful. I am truly living vicariously and learning a lot through these interviews. One thing I learned from this interview: My favorite pair of earring is the tree of life pattern. I did not know about this iconic tree in Bahrain, so I had to do a quick Google search and learn something new today. Fascinating! 🇯🇲🇨🇦💞
Wow!! I didn't want this interview to end, Dwayne is so articulate, fluent, intelligent, and fun, Jamaica loss Bahrain gain (brain drain). I would love to hang out with him when I visit Bahrain 🍗🍞🥙🍇🍺🍻🥂🍾🧃
Hi Dwayne I saw you an KZread on this program
Another great interview. Im a big time foody so i will do well there. 😄😄..On a serious note im getting a bit restless and seriously thinking about a change. Dewayne do you have any idea on what is the start up capital for that restaurant?
