Re: Jamaican Girl Giving Directions To Her House

Thank you Xavier. The video is fabulous.
I have been living abroad for too long now.
It is pure joy and listening to this girl brings tears to my eyes.
All around the island I can remember getting and giving directions with references to gas stations like Texaco or Shell.
In the real county parts we get directions with references to Breadfruit, Mango or other fruit trees.
Sometimes hills, houses or gate posts.
When you are walking everything becomes important and significant.

Re: Jamaican Girl Giving Directions To Her House

Let’s get back to the video. Turn off the sound.
Concentrate on watching the girl. Her hand gesticulations are perfect.
Her facial expression is perfect. No twitches of any facial muscles.
So many stage and screen stars started out by advertising soaps or perfumes.
This girl could be the next big discovery.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Wendy</span>, you need this girl on your team in Jamaica and the rest of the world.
OR you could use the video clip as part of the advertising for your interesting book <span style="font-weight: bold">A SOH IT GOH. </span>

But don’t mind me……. As a true Jamaican I love everything about our lovely island.

CurtisD, yuh need to buy and read Wendy's books. There is a GPS character in there that gives driving directions the said way! And now let me embarrass Wendy

From Wendy's web site , here's an excerpt from <span style="font-style: italic">A Soh Wi Do It!</span> where the GPS is giving Adolphus driving directions:

<span style="font-weight: bold">GPS</span>: Jus mek sure yuh no pass Vernice fry fish place pan di carna a Russet Street.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Adolphus</span>: Oh, si Russet Street a come up. Den mek yuh neva seh soh all alang instead a gi big man hard time. Now weh mi di do?

<span style="font-weight: bold">GPS</span>: Mek di secan ar tird right at di stap light, an look out fi wan foo-fool goat weh always a crass di street when cyar a come.

One of my other favorite lines from A Soh it Goh...

------------------------------------------

<span style="font-weight: bold">GPS:</span>..... When yuh reach di en a Barbican Road, as yuh si di primary school pan yuh right, tun dung dah road deh.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Wayne</span>: Weh di road name?

<span style="font-weight: bold">GPS</span>: A mi yuh a ask? Fram di road buil, all now govament noh put up road sign. All mi know is, whole heapa rubbish dash all bout pan dah road deh. Yuh cyaan miss it.

Re: Jamaican Girl Giving Directions To Her House

Thank you Peasie.

Thank you for sharing these lines with me.

The comments are hilarious
Since Friday I have been investigating how to get these two books in Spain.
Unfortunately for me the shipping and handling costs are double the price of the books.
So I will have to seek help from family in the USA or the UK.
Then they can bring them to me on their next visit to Spain.

Hello Wendy,

I love your style of writing and your sense of humour.

Thank you for just being who you are.

All Jamaicans can be very proud of you and what you are doing to bring our sense of humour to the rest of the world. .

Re: Jamaican Girl Giving Directions To Her House

No no Curtis .. I don't want you to pay all that international shipping from Amazon. That's a killer

Please order from HERE and I will ship to you. You need to Use the ADD TO CART button.
I will get the notification. The shipping charge is $2.99. I dont mind paying the additional charge to get them to you.

If I can ship to Botswana and the Cayman Islands, I can ship to Spain
Not a prob.

Thanks for the support
