Idolobha elincane eduze ne-Montego Bay linikeza amafasitela ekuphila komphakathi eJamaica
I-Reggae ne- rum iziphuzo ebhokisini lehhotela ziphathelene nokuthi izivakashi eziningi zisondela ku- Jamaica 'yangempela'. Ngisho nasendlini enkulu yokuhlala yaseMorgogo Bay , kodwa akutholakali ukuthola ingxenye yokuphila komphakathi waseJamican. INtaba yaseSiyoni iyindawo yokulima yasemaphandleni eSt. Ann Parish, ngokweqile ukuphakamisa intaba ukusuka ezindaweni ezinkulu zokungcebeleka ezibheke ogwini olusenyakatho.
Umgwaqo oya emzaneni, oqala eduze neColinon Hill igalofu, uqhubekile futhi udidekile, okwenza uzibuze ukuthi uhambo lwebhayisikili lusetshenziswe kanjani lo mzila ngandlela-thile uhamba phansi entabeni.
Imishini yamaphepha amaqabunga emaceleni omabili emgwaqweni, kodwa masinyane ufika esithombeni esamukelekile seNtaba iZiyoni.
In Rastafari isiko, Mt. I-Zion imelela iparadesi enkulu, okungenzeka ukuthi akuyona indlela ongayichaza ngayo umuzi waseJamaican wegama elifanayo. Izakhiwo ezimbili zomphakathi zibusa idolobha: iNtaba iSiyoni Yonke Isikole Sama-Ages - lapho ukudweba kwamaqhawe kazwelonke aseJamaica kuhlobisa udonga lwangemuva - futhi ngo-1838 iNtaba yaseZiyoni i-Mount Zion United Presbyterian. Lezi, kanye nemigoqo yama-rum amathathu kanye nokwahlukana kwemindeni yangasese, kuhlanganisa nomzana.
Lokho okungekho engcebweni yezinto ezibonakalayo, nokho iNtaba iZiyoni inomqondo oqinile womphakathi. Izivakashi ziyinto enhle lapha - uzobheka izingane zesikole kanye nabanoma ngubani oba yi-liming emiphakathini. I-shop rum eqhutshwa u-Willy ohlangene (futhi okwakhiwa okungenani oyedwa womngane womshado-ukubhema njalo) kwaba ukuyeka kwethu kuqala, futhi emva kokuyala i-Stripe ebandayo ebanda iqhwa, ngathola ukuhamba okuncane kusuka kumqondisi osemusha okhuthele owabonisa ezinye umkhiqizo wendawo (i-ackee, i-Jamaican yokudla kazwelonke, ilenga emthini ngaphandle kwebhu; kanye ne-avocado enkulu engake ngiyibone) ngaphambi kokuholela phezulu entabeni ukuya esontweni, ukuziqhenya komuzi.
Ngaphansi kwabesifazane ababili asebekhulile abanama-brog rag, isonto libukeka sengathi alizange lishintshe kakhulu eminyakeni engama-170 noma ngaphezulu edlule ngaphandle kwamanye amasha amasha, kodwa ahlanzekile futhi ahlala eningi kakhulu emphakathini. Sifaka ukufika kwethu ngoMgqibelo ntambama, lezi zikhonzi zasibeka isonto elikhulu lethusi lesibhakela, ngokungangabazeki liyamangaza ezinye izakhamuzi (ngeSonto kakade !?).
Izingane esizihlangabezane nazo zavusa isiphepho ngokuphila kwazo esikoleni, kanti i-bartender yaxuba ifilosofi phakathi kokuthuza iziphuzo nokuthengisa izakhamuzi zendawo. Wonke umuntu ubonakale ejabule lapho esibona, futhi sasijabule ukuthola okungenani ukuqonda okuncane okungenasiphelo kokuphila kwe-Jamaican backcountry.
Uma uhamba, akusizi ngalutho ukuba nomhlahlandlela wendawo njengo-Ivan Bowwow wethu - umshayeli wetekisi ohlala endaweni eholide i - Holiday Inn SunSpree Resort e-Montego Bay - kodwa umnotho wezomnotho eceleni, ngisho no-Ivan uthi izivakashi zingazizwa zihamba ngokuphepha imoto eqashisayo eya eNtabeni iZiyoni ukuvakashelwa (ingqondo nje i-potholes). Letha ingqondo evulekile, ikhamera yakho, namadola ambalwa ku-rum bar, ibhokisi leqoqo lesonto, futhi mhlawumbe ithiphu encane yeziqondiso zakho ezincane ezingenasiphakamiso ...
Uma ubheka ukubheka ngokuqondile isiko lendawo kanye nomphakathi waseJamicaica, iNtaba iZiyoni yindawo enhle yokuvakashela - hhayi nje kuphela ezokuvakasha kanye nemisindo, kodwa kubantu, okwenza lolu hambo kube yinye yeCaribbean engikhumbula kakhulu ukuhamba.
