Jamaica

Jamaica

Though it is often seen as a multifaceted mosaic of international customs and traditions, Jamaica has one tradition that crosses international boundaries – the three R’s: Red Stripe, Reggae, and Rum. Jamaica boasts of rhythm and movement from street corners and rum bars across the island.  Stop in for a quick drink or stay to party. Jamaica – “the biggest little island in the world” – promises fun for everyone.
