There aren’t just Hindu temples in Paramaribo, Suriname, there is an entire slew of cultures that come together in the country.  It is absolutely fascinating to experience and see, when the entire world is fighting about religion Suriname really sets the example for peace and harmony with cultural diversity.  While there are many places around […]

This mosque in Paramaribo is no regular mosque.  What’s so unique about the mosque is how it sits right next to a Jewish synagogue.  Around the world there are synagogues and mosques within a block of each other and maybe even on the same block.  But there is no other place in the world where you can […]

At the Galibi Nature Reserve in Suriname they have a completely open zoo available for those who select to come.  Normally people come for the sea turtles and if you have read my post on why environmentalists are the enemy you would see that this tour would have been completely wasted if it wasn’t for the zoo.

The Sloths can only be found in the rain forests of Central and South America and surprisingly they are very slow moving.  This picture was taken at the Galibi Nature Reserve right on the border of Suriname and French Guiana.  The place is extremely popular for tourists who want to see the massive sea turtles […]

I got into Suriname late in the evening so I wasn’t able to see any part of the city.  Driving from the airport can always teach you something about a country and after I got an experience in Guyana it was a fresh change of pace to see the efficiency on my visit to Dutch […]

How cool would it have been to know this guy?  He just oozes cool doesn’t he?  His name is Johan Adolf Pengel,  a Suriname (Dutch Guyana) born politician that gave back a great deal to his people.  I won’t tell you the list of achievements that he has, instead I will tell you the problems I had taking […]
