Jamaicans are very welcome Dominican republic. Caribbean Powers in the house.
We visited there 2 years ago and we loved it there!
@@reeniepm7806🙏
Jamaicans are good people, you guys are always welcome in DR.
We are all Caribbean people.
💯
That statement sounds very very nice, but it’s actually problematic. So what people are not inherently good (as a people)?? What people are considered’bad’ as a group, so not welcome?

I am a Jamaican and I live in Dr over 10 years and been to the jamaican restaurant and it shat !!! Love it!! Amega and her sister is a whole vibe... been here for more than 10 years and can testify that she right lol they have train system and even airline cable cars....amazing country and love it here 🙏🏾♥️
Hey Craig, just came across this video. I am planning to visit DR in Jan. Hope to see you soon.
I love Mega! A fantastic interview, right attitude, vibrant spirit with alot of confidence. Sister Amega will succeed wherever she goes. Excellent representation of Jamaica and DR. If I ever visit DR I would have to visit Cafe Jamaica. All the best Mega and much success
Thanks for the report of DR, well done, God bless. Peace! Barbara
What is the name of her restaurant?
@@CarlafluffyBalvinbrownand it shat !!!
Much blessings to Amega and her Journey in the D.R. and her business. Hopefully she does very well.
Im Dominican from the states but visit my country often. I will definitely be visiting her Restaurant to get some food. I love JA food that I get here in Brooklyn NY from my long time JA friends. So I love that she brought Jamaica to D.R. its always good to have variety. Santo Domingo is an up and coming city with alot of money floating around, and like she said theres alot of tourist there. So hopefully she get blessed with alot of exposure to uplift her business.

This is a wonderful interview.
Another wonderful interview actually I would say this is the best interview you've ever done I love her, with a great personality.
This is the most enthusiastic guest I have ever seen on the program!
I meditate the same way at my job sometimes 😂😂😂😂. Continue the journey stay strong.
Amega, I'm proud of you and congratulations! Big-up.
Probably the most entertaining interview Xavier ever had...😆🤣😂
WOW! Powerful interview. Sound like me when I came to New York. My cousin told me to come stay with him. I never know he was a drug dealer. The week I was about to go to the house , my aunt told me to stay at her house. A few weeks after, he was shot and killed. I had to sleep on the floor in someone bedroom. I thought I better head back home. The job was gone, I had no income. Well, fast forward, I got a job , found an apartment, and sort myself out. You have to be strong and determine to succeed.
Amega is a whole vibe lol....I love her
All the best to you sista, you have a great spirit, God bless.
Xavier, you're such lively, entertaining host. I'm glad that I've once again found your channel. I enjoy all of your guests as well. They tell some very fascinating accounts of their respective journeys

She’s funny and down to earth!
Her stories exciting with so many parts, lol. I know time was limited why Xavier had to redirect her a few times, but I would listen to her for much longer though.
Love the story

Great interview as usual. I am from Barbados 🇧🇧 It is interesting to hear. what other people think about us.
Agreed!🇧🇧

Amega, Amega you are so real. Just last night I watched a documentary on Canadian TV about a flight crew from here that got wound up in a drug trafficking scheme, all innocent ofcourse. So right there I erased DR from my bucket list but with your testimonials of the country, I will put it back on my list.. Thanks again Xavier.
This is great

You're funny as hell!!... 😂
Dominica sounds such fun. I would love to visit.
Don't get confused with the names, Dominica is another Island smaller than Dominican Republic. Republica dominicana in Spanish and Dominican Republic in English. You also you can call it DR for short.
@@eddiemonesti5671 Yup. DR short in English and RD short in Spanish.
@@poorweakcua6372 You got it my friend.
Dominican Republic, not Dominica. Two different islands.
Very interesting and inspiring 👏 went to Tarrant Jr Secondary! Big up!
Sounds So Intelligent🫶🏾
Heyyy love this!!!! I'm a British/Jamaican living in the DR for 6 months now. I would love to contact some of you.
Real vibes
Great that she's doing well in Dr now she is our.
My respects to my Jamaican brothers and sisters
They are nice people.
Hello, I'm a Jamaican and bought land in DR a few months ago. I would love to be in touch with Jamaican there.
she have me in stitches 🤣🤣.. Amiga will survive any we're she land's. because she have a buz
Me love she like cook food! 🇦🇬 🇩🇴
I'm Dominican and I dont know exactly which Domican restaurants or people she visited, we eat tons of pork and beef, craziest thing I ever Heard, maybe the people that ate chicken only ate that because that's all they can afford.
What she saw about dominican foods wa fast foods places, what we cook at home and eat is totally different.
I am Jamaican raised in new York with Dominicans from catholic school and their food is off the chain I don't know who u hang with that was cooking,
It surprised me when she said Dominicans don't eat pork and beef.
What about their Sancoch that soup they make with all different meats
@@slim9978 Sancocho.
Bistec encebollado, which is beef and onion.
white rice with stew beans and stew beef or chicken.
Pastel en hoja.
Chivo liniero wich is stew goat.
Rostisiroe chicken with wasakaka.
Yuca empanda or all flour empanadas, which Similar to Jamaica's patty.
Kipe
Fish with coconut sauce wich is popular in all Caribbeans Islands.
Locrio de cerdo or locrio de pollo, which is rice cooked with pork or chicken the same way you cook rice beans together. I just think some Jamaicans can not find anything good that doesn't have curry in it. Very used to curry and jerk which I like both of them.
@@eddiemonesti5671 the thing about most Jamaican not all they just love their own food expecially if they live most of their lives there but I guest that’s for most people yes they love their curry and jerk
I know She's crazy wow she's bugging out
Not only a fun interview but also very informative. However, I would have love to get her views on the local DR attitude with their Haitian neighbors.
Lennox, thats a touchy subject, last week the police raid all the Haitian shops, close them down and took away there stuff. Thats a wound u dont want to open, if u live there.
If people are upset over the DR immigration policy toward Haitians, then don't travel to Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, or Cuba, these nations also share a robust immigration strategy against Illegal Haitians.
Any other questions?
Your real question should be, 😂 why wouldn't Dominicans hate Haitians back.
Hello! Very informative video. My family is Jamaican and I am wanting to retire there. I am interest to know the areas where our community is living. Wanting to be in a nice modern area where we can easily get to the ocean, shopping, and activities. Where would you suggest? :-). Blessings!!!
Hello love the program. Is it possible to get a link with this young lady?
Jamaicans are welcome in DR 😍
Amen
They have done a lot to change their country for the better
Girl" Which Dominicans people are you living with?? Dominicans don't eat pork and beef?? 😁😁. We don't use spicy like curry and cumin.
Here some Dominicans dish
Chivo Leniero- Liniero Goat.
Bistef encebollaro- Beef onions.
Sancocho which is made with 3 different meat, Pork, beef and chicken.
Pastel en hoja made with plantain, Pumpkin and Yuca.
Empanada which Similar to Jamaica's patty
White rice with stew beans
Rice and beans
Rice and guandole wich is rice with green peas.
Bacalao wich is dry cod fish, The same you Jamaicans use with ackee
With stew it and eat it with green bananas or other root vegetables.
She's taking lies She's bugging out saying we don't eat pork and beef She's crazy wow
Yo también quiero saber que dominicanos son esos si nosotros amamos demasiado el puerco ay virgen
When you know the Lord He will help you 🙏🏽
That's my friend
Does she have a big booty?
I’m happy since the beginning she was helped by a Haitian to find the job, and when she was in Chubble in DR there were still Haitians to help her. That can give her a different perception that every single foreigner should have of Haitian, they are in struggle with some politicians they voted and who robbed them. But they are not bad people overall. About the Dominican food any Jamaican or Haitian is not going to like it, we like seasoning our meat, blend or smash our peas for stew peas but they don’t.
