What’s It Like Being a Jamaican Living in the United Arab Emirates?

In this episode of “Jamaicans to the World”, Jamaicans.com founder Xavier Murphy speaks with LaToya and Nicky. They are Jamaicans who live in the United Arab Emirates. We discuss the food, culture, customs, the people, things to do, the language, music, and adjusting to living in the United Arab Emirates as an expat. Xavier asks what are the must-eat foods and must-visit places in the United Arab Emirates. #WeJaminate #United Arab Emirates

I went to the reception, they ask where came off the taxi and i said at the back. Next morning I picked up my phone and all my cards we intact that was in the case. I plan to live there for at least three years.
