Countdown 5 must-dos before you die
published: Saturday | May 3, 2008

Alexander Mitchell, Gleaner Writer

5. FIVE must-do activities during your lifetime: When you need to take a break from it all, here are some activities that might do the trick.

Parasailing.

Cruising.

Road trip across all 14 parishes.

Helicopter sightseeing.

Travelling to countries that have interesting cultures such as Australia, Japan, France, Ethiopia or Fiji.

4. FOUR common things done during Easter in Jamaica: Although Easter is a time when Christians and even non-Christians celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, here are few other activities that stand out:

Going to church - Good Friday and Easter Sunday are both holy days in church tradition.

Eating Easter bun and cheese, and fish, are prime favourites, though many people avoid eating meat during the season.

Jumping carnival - It's arguably one of the most-anticipated events of the Easter, certainly for the carnival fanatics.

Having family gatherings - The extended family and friends tend to make visits or even have a gathering at a hotel or family home and catch up on ol' times.

2. TWO brands certain to be found in every Jamaican household cupboard:

Grace

Lasco

Need I say more?


3. THREE prominent black magazines to read:

Ebony - Being one of the oldest, not to mention most successful magazines catering to the black community, covering the fields of business, health, fashion, sports, entertainment and general news to entice any reader's appetite.

Essence - A magazine that caters specially for black women with topics ranging from lifestyle, entertainment and fashion for them to indulge in.

Vibe - A widely read magazine when it comes on to hip hop and urban culture, with in-depth interviews, exclusive reviews and unique articles.

1. ONE car everyone should experience:

The car of your dreams! Whether your dream car is a Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar or even a Honda, don't settle for anything less than having the ride of your life.
