These are pictures of some of the cultural events that we witnessed while in Kingston. The first two photos are of a local Rastafari service that we walked to from campus.

A few of us with one of the Rastas at the service. He gave us some insight and background information about the Rastafari lifestyle, movement, and historical culture.

The Reggae Dance Championship was the Jamaican version of "So You Think You Can Dance". Local dancers competed against each other for the first place title.

This particular group was Japanese, they won 2nd place but they should have won first place. They danced like they were born in Jamaica!

Mello-Go-Round, another cultural event we attended. They showcased poets, storytellers, dancers, singers and actors from differnt parishes in Jamaica. They were the best of the best in their categories.
