This photo was taken in 2007 at Bar Xaymaca in Fukuoka, Japan. Bar Xaymaca is a reggae bar located in the Tenjin district of Fukuoka. The name Jamaica is derived from Xaymaca, an Arawak word meaning "land of wood and water." The bartender pictured here learned English from the bar's owner, who is Jamaican, so despite being Japanese, he had a Jamaican accent.
