Like a movie: US Ambassador Donald Tapia makes ‘buzzy’ return
Apparently, Donald
Tapia, the United States Ambassador to Jamaica, has a few funny bones that we
were not aware of until today.
Yes, BUZZ
fam, he made his return in fine style on Twitter.
On Wednesday
afternoon, Tapia, who was flown to the United States some weeks ago for a medical
procedure, shared a video on Twitter to signal his return.

The 10-second
clip begins with Tapia’s back turned to the camera while a suspenseful
background score is being played. With a copy of a newspaper being held directly
in front of his face, Tapia turns in his chair to reveal his face (although it
wasn’t exactly hidden in the first place).
“I’m back,”
he says at the end of the clip, which is captioned: “Jamaica, mi deya!”

The 82-year-old definitely scored some points for the video that has been viewed more than 13,000 times. It was also liked close to 400 times and retweeted more than 200 times.
“Dah one yah
bad still. I gotta give you that,” one person said.
“Best part
of my day. Thank you. Look forward to having you stick around,” another added.
Another social
media user said: “Tapia have a buzz.”
He was also commended
for his sense of humour.
Tapia’s
return comes more than a month after it was said that he would be going to the
United States to get non-life-threatening medical treatment.
