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
