Jamaica loves and supports Nintendo, right?

Okay, good.

Jamaica is one generation behind here, most gamers are still playing ps2 here.

Xbox 360 I think is played more here because of he price.

There are some people here that own PS3s. More gamers here would have PS3s but the price is too high.

.........and yes there are gamers who like nintendo but like I said we are a generation back, so PS2 is king right now. Followed by Xbox 360 with PS3 coming right behind.



1. Is reggae a big thing in Jamaica still? (i love reggae)
2. What is the countries relation to the UK? I know that the queen is still the head of state, like some of our former colonies
3. What is the standard of life like there?
4. Is it dangerous to live in Jamaica? due to crime and hurricanes
5. How true is the stereotype of Jamaicans? (smoking weed etc)



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

I want to know those things too, how popular is reggae among young people and how many young people smoke weed? Give us percentages.



Hey, man.

Fellow jamaican here. Lived in Kingston for a while before I moved, so I don't really have questions although i don't know Jamaica very well.

I've lived in Haiti, Trinidad, Barbados, St. Lucia and I'm currently in Guyana. The indian girls here are as hot as the Trini girls, so you could always check Guyana if you have no luck in Trinidad. ;D

1. Reggae is considered old school dancehall has become the dominant Music.

2. The Queen is respected but the Jamaican government makes their own decisions.

3. Once you have money you are good.

4. No it is not dangerous, some communities crime can and will happen to you. But overall Jamaica is relatively safe.

5. It's true, about 15% of the population smoke weed on a regular basis. and about 50% or more have tried it. There is about 3 million people living in

Jamaica, so about 450,000 people smoke weed on a regular basis mostly the young people. I am probably being conservative and it is possible it can be lower, but that should be the close to the real number.

Cool, thanks for the answers but 1 more question :)

What parts of Jamaica would you recommend to visit, as a tourist?

I would love to go there, just for the hot weather and beaches. Both of which, lack in the UK lol
