Felt so good going to church today and interacting with Japanese Christians who just made me feel homely. And it's great how those who speak English, even a little bit, paused to extend welcome and talk a bit. Thank God for a local faith community!

Haven’t been on this platform in a while. Seems like a different world. Anyone going to Mars soon? 🥹

@JamaicaGleaner But there is a problem with just sampling a few students and making the results applicable to the entire population. Sure, those captured by the data set might be below par, but that doesn’t mean that the majority are also below the average.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan in Jamaica 🇯🇲.
The Sussexes are in Jamaica for the Bob Marley: One Love movie premiere!

They are with Paramount Film Chief Brian Robbins and his wife Tracy James. The Sussexes are among a number of dignitaries and celebrities who attended the selective viewing of the Marely movie.

The Marley family, including Ziggy—the eldest son of Bob Marley—attended and hugged Harry.
The Prime Minister of Jamaica and his wife, among others, were also in attendance.

“Bob Marley: One Love” is a Paramount film celebrating the life and music of the iconic Bob Marley, emphasising his message of love and unity. The preview includes intense moments, such as an assassination attempt in 1976, Bob Marley’s life. The film also covers his rise to fame and his historic performance at the One Love Peace Concert in 1978, aimed at bridging political divides in Jamaica.

It’s in theatres on February 14th, fitting! 📽️

Newly promoted, Corporal Salema Brown, shares a sweet moment with her son during an impromptu pinning ceremony of her Corporal Chevron at her office in Kgn. West. Corporal Brown was among the more than 100 Police Constables who took part in the JCF's Corporal Development Course.

Getting complimentary cucumbers at the car inspection is so… Japan. 😅

Watching my 3年目 students play their final tournament, I realized something that I’d never noticed before: the parents who attend the games to cheer their respective schools never cheer the opposing team for an exceptional performance. I guess the “village raising the child…

One thing’s for sure: the schoolgirls in this country are pretty much like their counterparts in the West - though for them it’s probably just part of kawaii culture where everything different is ‘cute’ - especially gaijin men! 😅

@ChrissyRoyalty I love using the squatty potty! I’m actually sorry that my current school doesn’t have one. 🥹

[Kamaaleo @_Kamaaleo]

I ain’t from this country, I don’t speak the language, and the culture is way different from my own; yet I can’t but help feeling for these students. Sometimes the perception people have of places like this differs a lot from the reality. They don’t always have it together…

[Kamaaleo @_Kamaaleo]

I tell my students that this is my favorite movie - mostly because they’ve heard the theme song in English before. 🙃

Yasuke was the world’s first Black samurai.

When a 6-foot-tall African slave landed in Japan, he stuck out like a sore thumb. People lost all modesty and nearly caused a stampede trying to get a closer look. Such a sight was so foreign in Kyoto.

A THREAD!

This student will be 13 in a couple weeks. I asked what she wanted for her birthday - she said a smartphone case. Imagine asking the same question to a Jamaican kid of the same age and I’m sure the parents would be left broke just thinking about it…😅 #differences #omedeto

Did you know there's a way to switch to Solar and have the banks pay and you save?

I am saving J$45K monthly by switching to solar. It cost me J$3.5M upfront, BUT the bank is paying for it, and I keep the savings.

The Sun is free. This is my story, folks! #Thread
