The U.S is undoubtedly a great nation that provides its citizens & residents with lots of freedom and opportunities, which I am immensely grateful for. But nothing will compare to the feelings I get when I’m in Jamaica. I love the culture, food, vibes, and the relaxed, simple, and peaceful nature of life, especially in the countryside ❤

Better is subjective. Happiness is my better regardless of where I live. However, I am grateful to be born a Jamaican who get to live in the 🇺🇸 for over 20 years & have access to material things just like that, so that I can compare life in 🇺🇸 & 🇯🇲. Nonetheless, I prefer Jamaica because my spouse lives in 🇯🇲 & I enjoy my natural culture & foods. Essentially, as I get older & much more wiser, I realize that happiness is more meaningful to me than material acquisition & life’s stressors such as loans or debts…

I fully agree and support the differences between Jamaica & North America. My experience being in North America has been alarming how in some sectors they still function like a big third world country. Example to name a few, is how the government treat teachers, medical professionals and homelessness. North America is more skilled in hiding inadequacies and and malfunctions.

I've never wanted to live in America, really doesn't excite me. Cannot say I like the place. On the other hand I understand why it's appealing to many. Most outsiders' idea of America is a sanitised version seen through the eyes of Hollywood. For balance it would be a great idea Rochilin to do a comparative study between Jamaica and some of America's "third world"states and cities where time has stood still. I think it would be very educational 😂🇯🇲

The big plus of being in a first world country is the job opportunities...you can make money doing almost anything and the currency is stronger...also there are convenience in alot of things as well. But being in Jamaica is also a blessing especially when it comes to health care....which is much cheaper. You get better food in Jamaica as well and the weather is better depending on the state you're in. Also America has many issues that's mind boggling as a developed country like the high rate of homelessness and education...education in the caribbean is far more advanced. What we study in Grade 7 for example they start that in grade 9 in the States and the same thing here in the UK. Our kids could excel far more than the kids in these countries.

After 10 years in the U.S., I was over the racism, mass shootings, high cost of living, and debt. I moved to Kenya in August, and the peace of mind and happiness are invaluable. I have no more car payments or insurance payment, and my Airbnb is half of what I used to pay for rent. I did a lot of planning before returning to Kenya after my first visit last year. I worked my ass off and paid off my debt in the U.S. Now, I enjoy fresh, natural (weh America call organic) food, low transportation costs (Uber and Bolt), conveniences (Uber Eats, Glovo, Bolt), and developed infrastructure. I won't say Kenya doesn't have crime, but you don't have to worry about gun crime. As a Jamaican, I would have chosen to return to Jamaica, but it's just as expensive as living in the U.S.

Hi Rochielin, good to view a long awaited vlog from you, glad you are settled in your new country. I listened to your comparison between US and Jamaica regarding pot holes, know that the world over have to contend with them, and lately with every bad thing that is going on around the world, some countries have not got sufficient funds to fix potholes, I myself have to contend with them for months in far more developed country than JA. US and Europe have much more money to spend, but as you know now the money is going in the war kitty. JA try their best but we all know better needs to be done. At least JA don't have a whole town of homeless on the streets. Be blessed.

The sky’s the limit for you, the adjustment phase was difficult for me as well. My dreams and goals of being a KZbin content creator slowly went to the back burner and I fell into the corporate abyss. At this point I have terabytes of footage of my journey over the years, vlogs back to Jamaica, marrying my 9th grade crush, filing for her, losing my job, losing my grandmother, pregnancy, home buying and the list goes on. But I never post and at this point I’m convinced these videos will never see light. Your videos give me hope that I can buckle up and take this dream serious. Thank you 🙏🏾

You did a great job on the comparisons between Jamaica and the USA. It was thoroughly researched and spot on. You are one of the better vloggers on Utube. Keep it going 👍 As for the roadways in America, I live in So Flo and the roads are constantly been worked on. In some neighborhoods the work might take a couple years but in the end it's wonderful. As for the many self check outs in the supetmarkets and other stores it is very common as Americans love moving fast so this is helpful to a lot of people. Jamaica do not need to follow this trend as the peolpe need the job as cashiers and for some it is viable means of employment. I miss your vlogs of Jamaica but life goes on. Much blessing in your new home in America ❤️

Self service has been here in the 🇬🇧 for more than 30 years but now it more widespread. I am a tech geek older person and love self service. But theft is on the increase with the cost of living crisis. Just a few days ago security and staff had to stop a man who had stolen a lot shopping. It was embarrassing to watch but self service is the main reason. Even big supermarkets close their tills at 7pm. Then it's self service until they close at 10pm or 12am. It encourages theft. You should do a part time job in the corporate world and get more insight into American verses Jamaican life. Love this video and like how you're doing your research to create excellent content.

This was a good video, very informative and clear. I visited Canada and spent some weeks there and all the things you highlighted in this video I've observed in Canada. No potholes on the road Driving on the right side of the road Allowed to turn right unless it says no right turn Self pump at the gas stations Self checkout at the supermarkets Other things I noticed though were that there was generally more reverence or respect towards the environment and nature than in Jamaica people drove better on the roads and were more considerate of other drivers food (groceries) was way cheaper than in Jamaica utilities were way cheaper than in Jamaica as well housing was generally more expensive though

As a born Jamaican who grew up in America returning home, my driving experience is opposite. Driving in Jamaica has been a complete rewiring. I still check myself when making turns. NJ is one state that still ONLY have gas pump attendant, so self-service pumps. I love this luxury. 😊

It's illegal to pump your own gas in New Jersey and Oregon. Back in time, there was no such thing as a self serve station, however, it was not unusual to get shortchanged at some stations, but that's another story. I do miss the complementary windshield wash and checking of oil but used to it now.

Hi Roch, watched a couple of your videos before you left JA. Love that video about the trains in JA, learnt a lot. 😍 I live in UK, about the self serving check-outs, I like them because they give me that freedom to scan the item and I can easily decide not to buy it if the price is too high because the correct prices are not always displayed. 😉 Also I can easily check my total sum if I want to keep in budget. However, when they first came, they were always breaking down, or just stuck and customers have to wait on the cashier to come and assist. I also left my £10 change in them a couple of times.😪 I’m surprised these checkouts are not yet in JA. They are usually quick to instal technical-advanced items. But I wouldn’t rush it because from MY experience this advancement still needs much improvement. In the UK they still give trouble, customers waste a lot of time waiting for the cashier to come and get them going again after they are stuck. Nevertheless, Jamaica is NOT a third world country, we should eradicate that term. It is used by the Big countries to impose superiority over small nations with less money and naturally in certain areas less advancements. Just to remind you not so long ago China was called a 2nd world country but China is now financing USA debt. 🥹🌏 Many years ago When the term ‘came in’ I heard a speech by a word leader who remind us that - God made one world. There is no ‘third’ world. ❤🌍❤

You still need to stop before turning right, consider the red light a stop sign.

Hi, this is my first time listening to you are I'm not even sure of the correct terminology. I'm an older person from Jamaica and I definitely I'm subscribing to your podcast or your spodcast though. Are you sure I really like the way you communicate? Your voice is soothing and touch a lot of topics that I agree upon.

Hi I'm a Jamaican who migrated from Jamaica 28 years ago and lived in crazy NYC for the first 10 years. I migrated from there18 years ago to the state of Georgia and have really enjoyed living down here. I have since learned that all the southern states have adopted this practice of making a right turn on read. I go back to Jamaica for vacation every year and have to recalibrate my too as soon as I get in the rental car.😊

Hi good day I am from Bermuda I was married 15 yrs to a Jamaican who lived and worked in my country so I've visited Jamaica 12 times. I come from a small island too but in the interest of time you can research it we drive on the left side also. While visiting and driving in the USA I found myself doing the same thing mentally telling myself stay right I did fairly good until I turned off the main highway onto the left lane and met a line of cars facing me people said no your on the wrong lane and directed me to the right right lane everyone was kind to wait for me to correct myself.

Jamaica is natural. America is Material and paycheck to paycheck, to credit cards, very few own anything, just an illusion. Whatever you can achieve America you can achieve in Jamaica. Jamaicans running from Jamaica, and foreigners Flocking to Jamaica 🤔 because of opportunity in Jamaica. Best wishes my sister, Raspect.

What are the chances of starting up a tech company in Jamaica and finding talents to build it? I am talking a tech company that do cloud services, AI, 3D animation, etc.? I think the chance is very small. Those things are in my skill area and I’d like to start a business that does those things. So, I don't think anything you can do in America can be done in Jamaica.

Jamaica doesn't have road engineers, you can turn on the left in Jamaica too, you pump your own gas in Jamaica too at some gas stations. A which part a Jamaica you did live? You can use the bathroom without buying anything at the gas station
