Although I’m in cold Philly right now, I have to keep tapping into the “hot” Jamaica experience in order to write them all down. So here goes the Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival. The line up had people such as Babyface, Gladys Knight, Joss Stone, Erykah Badu, Maxi Priest, Third World, Jon Secada, Hall & Oates and way more. Being able to visit Jamaica was a blessing already, but then to be there for one of the biggest music festivals was even more amazing. Seeing that I was rollin’ with Third World, the access I had was crazy really. Not only did I get to enjoy the performances, but I actually had backstage access and all.

The Adventures of Pay in Jamaica (pt. II)
Where was I? Right, Tuesday evening in Montego Bay. Mimi & I ate at our regular spot again and I ate some stuff for the first time in my life. Stuff I never heard of before even. Everyone that knows me well, knows that I’m a foodie. So of course I can’t just keep eating the things I know. No sir, I travel not just to sniff up cultures and expand my horizons, I also travel to try new foods all over the world. So I dipped into the Ackee & Codfish, a typical Jamaican national dish. My brain couldn’t comprehend the taste, its not comparable to anything. I’m still not sure whether I like it or not. Still Switzerland on it. I probably have to eat it some more to take a liking or disliking to it.

The Adventures of Pay in Jamaica (pt. I)
Yes, I am in Jamaica! The beautiful island of love. Or as I would rather say, the island of sun, sea, beach and good food. Just like Hawaii, I never really thought I would make it over here. But I did. An opportunity presented itself that I just couldn’t pass up on. My friend Victor, who I met during the Cannabis Cup 2008 when I had to interview Leon, invited me to come over to Montego Bay for the Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival. The line up is too fresh for words, so I had to go of course!
