Day 507 { Jamaica 13 - Hanging Out  }

I promised my new Japanese friend that we would hang out for the day. So, I picked her up and first we went to the Fort Clarence beach which is about 10 mins from my house in Portmore....
She went into the water but I stayed clear of it.... At the beach I saw my friend from University, as well as my cousin's wife and child...

We then left Fort Clarence and I treated the Japanese lady to Ox-Tail at Captain's Bakery in Portmore. She said it was the first time she was having Ox-tail and thinks it is delicious.... I had stewed peas and rice, which I haven't had in I don't know how long.



After leaving Captain's, we went to watch G-Force at the Carib Theatre. It was the first time I was watching a movie using 3-D glasses. It was interesting, even though it was a kids flick...

After the movie, we went to an inner city community name Kencot, to visit this Japanese guy who has been living in Jamaica since August last year.... He is actually from my prefecture, Okayama.... He was born in a town called Tsuyama and he now lives in Kurashiki.... He is completing his Ph.D in Cultural Anthropology and writing a paper on Reggae Gospel music in Jamaica.

Then they introduced me to this reggae dancer Japanese girl.


After meeting up with these Japanese in Jamaica, I dropped home my new friend then went home.
