My guilty pleasure with this blog has been to click ‘year’ in my stats, and then scroll down to countries! So many people from so many different countries have visited my tiny little blog.
So I thought, how great would it be to do a quick internet delve and find a few cool facts about each place.
Starting at the bottom, a place which I always imagined as a supercool and vibrant place to be – JAMAICA!!!
- Jamaica is the THIRD happiest place to in the world to live
- Jamaica has the most churches per square mile AND the most rum bars per square mile – no wonder they’re a very happy nation!
- Beautiful, sunny Jamaica has a bob-sleigh team!
- Jamaica’s ladies have claimed Miss World three times
- Jamaica exports corn, yams, sugar banana and coffee, including Blue Mountain Coffee
- Need some cool music? Ska music is Jamaican born and bred, and from that comes reggae
- Speaking of music – BOB MARLEY!
- Jamaica has some rather fast runners! Shelley-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Usain Bolt to name just two!
- Blooming Jamaica! there are over 200 species of orchids growing there, 73 or which are native!
- Need a bit of a healing soak? Jamaica has mineral baths and hot springs – lovely 🙂
- Jamaican parents produce more twins and triplets than anywhere else in the world!
- A fantastic childbirth Jamaican tradition – families of new-borns bury the placenta then plant a tree on top – that tree then officially belongs to the babe!
- Jamaica – A supporter of Equal Rights for Humanity!!!!
GO JAMAICA – I may not be able to afford to see you but it’s nice to know a bit more about you. You sound INCREDIBLE!
