In the past everyone knew english, but now it seems that the younger generation don’t bother to learn english and they have created their own kind of “modern” culture. I guess that makes Suriname even more intriguing! (mixing the old and the new) over 6 years agoSuriname, the undevelop land by fhvunI have been to Paramaribo, the capital of Suriname. I was there for almost 6 months, and the environment resemble the 60’s era, where wooden house and old buildings is nice to look at.

I learn the dutch language by the teaching from my friends where I ask them Hakka and malay, and they translate to me in dutch. over 6 years agoUntitled by Jungle KatYou will never find a more beautiful country then Suriname… Learn the taal – Sranan Tongo, and speak it, because everyone will be very excited if a foreigner speaks their language.
