Belgium sounds tempting to visit!! Great to hear that our culture is being enjoyed !! 🇯🇲

[@superpowers2366]

@Sade Jones Lol I was just go say it is a racist country you taken the words right out of my mouth thanks.😂😂😂👍

[@superpowers2366]

@Sade Jones Jamaica.🇯🇲 is the place to be I would rather be in Jamaica than Europe. 1 better food 2 better weather 3 better scenery. Hell you have white people in Jamaica that would tell you they love us.

[@superpowers2366]

@Sade Jones Lol yeah the USA is a fucked up country everyone is leaving this country is evil also to.😆 if you ever do leave the USA try Africa or South America and the Caribbean islands they best for black people period.

[@Macellaio_delle_dune]

@@superpowers2366 It's not but unfortunately there are people with that mindset (like everywhere in Europe). A lot of people however are the opposite. I for one am one of these people who love Jamaica in all its aspects 1 love.

[@jeletalewis4125]

Another very interesting interview. 🇯🇲🖤💚💛

[@1marialatoya]

Hi Vonetta and Warren! I wish I knew you guys were there. I was living in Leuven. I'm back in Ja now....I was missing the Jamaican food so much! 😭 Now, I miss Belgium. 😅 Nederlands is een moeilijke taal, maar de inwoners zal jullie meer respect geven als jullie de taal leren. Het Jamaicanse restaurant is een goed idee! Veel success! 🇯🇲🥰🇧🇪

[@donnaherman3876]

I am ecstatic to know how Belgium welcome our Jamaican culture

[@nicholettemcgregor2004]

Another enjoyable sojourn into Jamaicans living out loud and spicing up the world. Thank you for the knowledge and niceness.

[@audreymoy4923]

The laguage is called Flemish, not Netherlands.

[@richieredw2142]

Been there many times, had a girlfriend once from Bruges, and visited the port of Zeebrugge, and the eastern city of Liege, but never Brussels. It's a nice country to live in, myself I'm living in 🇸🇪 nice interview

[@duhaney123]

A relative of mine lives in Belgium. I've gotten several invitations to visit him. Interesting interview indeed.

[@xmurphy2485]

Hope you visit.

[@cecelianelson2594]

Great interview. Many thanks to your guests.

[@xmurphy2485]

Thanks they were great.

[@robinduckin3693]

The languages spoken in Belgium is Dutch (Flemish), French and German.

[@robinduckin3693]

*** languages spoken are.....

[@jahmallajaima]

You know Flemish came to mind when you asked about da languages. When they didn’t say Flemish figured I was wrong and wonder what country had Flemish.

[@elainem6832]

Sir & Madam, We the kids of Jamaicans in Europe (even if we were not born in Jamaica) can still represent too. We can cook the food, speak and represent and display the authentic culture. It’s sound like a good place to live, work and holiday. All the best to everyone. Thank you 🙏🤠

[@xmurphy2485]

Love it...passing it on to each generation

[@vlogwchris7483]

I’m half jamaican Belgian. Spent most of my time a yard but making a step back into Europe now. Watching this gives me great hope of me havin success in Belgie.

[@Sirrush-S-J]

Nederlands = Dutch 1 of the languages they speak in Belgium, they call it 'Flemish' but it's just the same language. Proud to be a Belgian.

[@dorretteprince1754]

Belgium sounds like a great place to settle down, fi real 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🙏

[@leydenfisher7807]

Belgium - Dutch - problems with prejudice, racism talk South Africa, Kongo and rip off Black Folk stuff. Trouble.

[@Macellaio_delle_dune]

@@leydenfisher7807 Sorry you encountered bad mind people. Please don't treat all Belgians the same as the majority are open minded and welcoming.

Checking in from Australia

[@xmurphy2485]

Hello Austrailia

[@InfiniteNaturalMystic]

Beautiful couple

[@Cavellification]

Tot ziens means see you later. but GOOD BYE IS DAAG and I'm also Jamaican living in the Dutch Caribbean.

[@maureengolding2980]

Netherlands is a country. Dutch is the language officially.

[@everlasting1971]

Enough of the criticism, we get what they are trying to communicate. Belgium sits between France and Holland/Netherlands. French is common language towards the French area and Dutch is the common language closer to Holland.

[@kaydenpat]

Yep. Learning a new language can be a bit tricky the older you are.

[@slicktyz7989]

I’m Jamaican living in Austria

[@Jamaicans]

Thank you for sharing. We have a great interview with a Jamaican living in Austria . There are many questions in the comments about Austria. We would love for you to reply to comments/questions with your own experiences. Here is the interview kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKnXm3SVjtGtZ68

[@ronkodak9760]

Chips is the greatest snack from Jamaica grow on that chips bad

[@donnaherman3876]

My girl, i love cherry malt..not many people don't remember that. Bulgar and chicken back a say one

[@sandralutscher9303]

Grace Campbell Belgium speak three language Dutch French Flemish I think they make a mistake by saying Nederland

[@ollifrank6255]

'Dutch' is called `nederlands` in Dutch. Flemish is the Belgium version(s) of Dutch. It's the same language but with a bit softer pronunciation

[@karenr3355]

So true, Dutch is not an easy language to learn

[@funnyansweet]

I like Belgium its central to my two favorite cities Paris and Amsterdam

[@maureengolding2980]

I can live without yellow or White yams. Also run down, never had it in my life. I am a Jamaican at heart.

[@noblegirl1991]

I enjoy this episode

[@gladysclarke7733]
