Welcome to The Jamaica Squidoo Lens!
Whether you just love Jamaica or are interested in knowing more about it, you've come to the right place!
As written in Wikipedia, Jamaica is an island nation of the Greater Antilles, 234 kilometres (146 mi) in length and as much as 80 kilometres (50 mi) in width situated in the Caribbean Sea. It is about 620 kilometres (385 mi) northeast of the Central American mainland, 145 kilometres (90 mi) south of Cuba, and 190 kilometres (120 mi) west of the island of Hispaniola, on which Haiti and the Dominican Republic are situated. Its indigenous Arawakan-speaking Taíno inhabitants named the island Xaymaca, meaning either the "Land of Springs," or the "Land of Wood and Water." Formerly a Spanish possession known as Santiago, it later became the British West Indies Crown colony of Jamaica. It is the third most populous anglophone country in the Americas, after the United States and Canada.

- There are so many things come to mind when I think of Jamaica. Regae, Bob Marley, Ziggy Marley, but probably the one that gives me the most giggles is the Olympic Jamaican Bobsled Team!
