Nara is a must visit for fans of Japanese history, Buddhist temples and.. Deer. Not just any ordinary deer but deer designated as “National Treasures”, all 1200+ of them. Up to the mid 1600′s killing one of them was a crime punishable by death as before World War II they were considered...

The yearly One Love Jamaica Festival was held last weekend and as it has been since its first staging in 2004 was a resounding success.

It’s that time of year again when Jamaican culture overtakes Yoyogi Park in Tokyo Japan for one day. I made posts about the festival in 2007 and last year but some visitors expressed via comments that they wished I would post about the festival this year BEFORE it happened, so that’s what...

In an effort to enjoy the last bit of summer (although in Jamaica summer never seems to end) I accepted an invitation for a trip to Negril over the weekend. I endured the 5 our trip from Kingston by car and enjoyed the countryside views while realizing that it’s been 3 years since I’ve been...
