Recently our history professor spoke about Jamaica. It was after his visit as a part of delegation, he became fascinated with Jamaica and various cities there. Being a leftist sympathetic, he always becomes more excited while taking about revolts and rebellions. He was also enthusiastic when he spoke about Montego Bay.
“It is another city and port of Jamaica. There are many flights to Montego Bay. I used the domestic service and I caught one of the last minute flights to reach there. Actually that city was not in our tour plan. However when I heard about the Baptist War of 1831 and Samuel Sharpe who lead it I decided to visit this place also”.
As it was not in the original plan, professor had to spend from his pocket for the trip to Montego Bay. Still, the respect to the comrades of Baptist War made professor to bargain for flight tickets for cheap prices. He somehow managed to get one and went to Montego Bay.
“Montego Bay was known as sugar port. It was doing a very good business in those days. Slavery was also prevailing in those days. And there happened a violent revolt of slaves on a Christmas day. It continued for almost a year and their leader Samuel Sharpe got caught and hanged to death here. Now he is a national hero and the main center of the city is in his name.” He detailed the history of Baptist War.”
“But it is not just history, even so many other things are there that will make you interested,” Professor spoke. There are many venues for performing arts and you can enjoy the traditional West Indies cultural programs in the evenings. The rhythmic music and the fast steps of the traditional dances will certainly take you to some other world. Nowadays, that city has become an important location for tourists.” He told.
As the number of visitors increased, the number of cheap flights to Montego Bay also increased. Once it became a business center, many business people also started visiting this sea side city more frequently. Many international companies that have business interests in Jamaica have offices in this city. The climate and the proximity to airport and sea port made them select this city as their head quarters in Jamaica.
Later on, I collected more information about Montego Bay. The sand beaches and the bikini clad beauties flocked the place. I too decided to visit the city once. More than the revolution and the revolutionists, I prefer to spend the evenings at the beach and nights in night clubs. There is no scarcity for both in Montego Bay. I have already started my enquiries for cheap tickets to Montego Bay. I am planning to spend the coming holidays there. I have also discussed it with some of my friends. They have also shown interest and the more the merrier.
