Ah, Jamaica. Most Americans go there to sit at a resort and down piña coladas for a few days, buying overpriced herbs from their taxi driver along the way (not speaking from personal experience here, obviously). But there’s way more to this country than that, and I had travelled to Saint Elizabeth, far from the tourist zones in Montego Bay, to go find out what Jamaica was really like. And if I was serious about getting to know the place, I knew I had to learn some patwah. Caw patwah a di real language a Jamaica, yuh see me?
