"If You're Foreign Don't Walk The Streets Here" 🇬🇾 (

If you're one of the rare souls who decides to take a trip to Guyana, the least visited country in the Americas, chances are your first stop will be Georgetown, the capital city. With a population of only around 200,000, it looks and feels almost like a small town. But this city is no joke. With the newfound oil wealth driving prices up, crime is starting to skyrocket. Although everyone in Guyana suffers from theft, American oil workers and Chinese merchants in particular are hunted in the streets by muggers. I was no oil worker, but I was assumed to be one.

I'm originally from Guyana,came to the USA in 1977. Guyana is a small English speaking country in the Northern tip of South America. We have less than 1 million people living in a country larger than Idaho or the UK. We are however; culturally Caribbean. The Guyanese's political history is not as straight forward as some might want you to believe. President Forbes Burnham and Cheddi Jagan used to be friends. Guyana educated some bright and brilliant people, scattered all over the World today. The older generations are more educated than the youths of today. Burnham had restrictions on speech and imports. He thought that making us self reliant was better than depending on the West. Burnham died in 1985. The economic situation in Guyana today can't be blamed only on him. Most Guyanese are friendly, hard working, and peaceful people. Over the years, I've taken my husband, kids, and grands to visit. Thanks for educating the World on some of our history. Stay safe. 🇬🇾

Hi, is there ethnic tension between the Afro-Guyanese & Indian-Guyanese? Do they self segregate and live in their own neighborhoods etc; ?

[@yvonne237]

@@JC-wi2jz yes,there is self segregation among the different ethnic groups.

[@JC-wi2jz]

@@yvonne237 Interesting....Tks

[@islandgirl3330]

@@JC-wi2jz Not like the America. Why there are more Indians in certain areas is because after slavery most of them worked on the plantations and farms and stayed there but it is not the type of segregation like the States. Black people tend to live in the cities because they were not into heavy farming. The threw their hoes down that is why they had to bring in the Indians, Portuguese and Chinese to work as indentured labourers after slavery. You can buy a house and live anywhere in Guyana. A lot of the Ameridians live on their original land in the interior and has been discriminated against. There are more Indians because a great percentage of the other races left after Burnham destroyed the country. Indians also had extremely large families more than anyone else. But you can choose to live where ever you want.

If you were of a slightly older generation, or had attended the previous school system in Kenya, then you would know that the first black judge of the High Court of Kenya, Cecil Henry Ethelwood Miller, who arrived in Kenya in 1964, was also from Georgetown, British Guyana. He also served as Chief Justice during very politically-charged years in Kenya (the country was virtually a police state then) that the younger generation has absolutely no knowledge or understanding of.

As a South American myself I always wondered why these countries are simply forgotten and not integrated whatsoever with the rest of the sub-continent. It's not just people people farther North in the continent that don't know of their existence, for us in the South it's as though they are not even there to the point that you won't learn anything about them in your school life. The fact that Sabbatical probably had to fly all over from Buenos Aires to NY and then back to Georgetown to get there, proves to what extent these countries are just isolated from most of the region. Thanks for showing this for us so ignorant about how these people live and we can only hope that in the future we can do some work on proper integrating the region.

Tommy is so unique the way of making vlog 🙌🏿💯

[@escourse]

Tommy you're my fav. youtuber and it is sad to see that you had to be escorted around my homeland, I really wanted you to visit Guyana but now that you have I feel a bit embarassed/ashamed by the need for security. My apologies, but I am glad you are safe. If you can tell me what area in GT you stayed just curious haven't been back since 1992, and so much have changed ~ thank you and keep the videos coming.

[@milanjeftic3374]

Another excellent videoThanks

[@ariesone1878]

Thank you for sharing your many traveling experiences. Be safe.

😂 I'm guyanese 🇬🇾 thank you for checking out our country ik it's a little hard to understand our way of speaking and it tough that u have to be on your guard 24/7 because of the thugs.

[@dianeliskarusagnatoranzoro8226]

Hi, how I could know if there is a hostal at 172 Charlotte & light St? It's really important for me to check that info. Thank u

[@avant-garde2.028]

I’m female and tried vlogging my visit there and had a great experience. Though I was targeted a lot for looking like a tourist when I’m Guyanese 😬. But getting harassed by men is something we deal with everywhere. But this one guy chased me and it was scary.

The second CEO of Kenya's biggest telecom service provider was from Guyana. He was a really cool guy and people love him alot. He passed on in 2018 from cancer. RIP Bob Collimore

You're right!, the architecture is really good there, love that...

Excellent advice by the private security personnel at the end. Get someone local to take you around.

I always wanted to visit Guyana. The only English speaking country in South America. When I worked in NYC all of my co-workers were Indian/Guyanese

@@ibj3 They speak Dutch in Suriname. Yes, some English, however it's not an official language and was never colonized by England. Read a book, don't be an ignorant person.

[@Cuyt24]

@@ibj3 I am not arguing against that. English is also commonly spoken in South Korea and Germany and they are not English-speaking speaking countries. You don't even know what you're arguing about. Guyana is the only English speaking country in South America.

[@Cuyt24]

@@ibj3 Well, I am talking about the official language. You don't need to add anything. It's meaningless. People speak English in Peru as well, it's still a Spanish speaking country. You are not an educated person. I think you do manual labor for a living. You lack basic reading skills and lack the ability to think critically.

[@essarroyrupchand4007]

@@Cuyt24 You made your point and don't have to be insulting. We know what it means when it is said that"Guyana is the only English speaking country in South America". His ability to interpret it is totally different from ours.

The darker coconut oil is used for skin and hair. The clear virgin coconut oil is used for cooking (can also be used on skin and hair). The pastry is called Chinese cake or "chiney cake" (pronounced chi-knee) in the Guyanese patwa/creole. It is of Chinese origin, but the Guyanese version is made with a short-crust pastry and black eyed peas instead of black beans.

Great video. Tommy, you're becoming quite the ladies' man! And, oh yeah, all politicians play games 😎!

Keeping it real. Enjoyed the educational piece as well. 👍👍

All I ever knew about Guyana was what happened with "JIm Jones". But once again you have (learned me) with new knowledge. Thank you for doing what you do. You are one of the riskier vloggers. Love it and be careful brother. Derek

I would have laughed my ass off if the bar owner had have explained why his bar was called "Dubai bar" if it was because they pass by and "do buy" 🤣

[@boatsoar2557]

I can explain the meaning of Dubai bar. My guess would be seen as a ethnic tote to history. Dubai in the Middle East. Jesus was a Middle East Walker. Or maybe something deeper. People visit Dubai yet avoid Iran. Something like that. So Dubai is in Guyana literarily. Take that from me with grains of seasoning.

It’s so cool how they speak English with such a unique accent as if they’re speaking English as a second language but they’re actually not.

West Indian English…

Lol. Kinda rude, pal.

[@josephwinslow7613]

It no different that how people speak in the different states of America speaks with different accents. Plus, even in United Kingdom with the English, Wales and Scots. Guyana was formerly named British Guiana which means we learn the English from Britain, of course, without the British accent.

[@cobwebtheorem7538]

Island accent, very similar to Jamaican (and many a Caribbean island) patois.

[@tammibrown5074]

The crazy thing about me being in the most dangerous areas in the many places I have been is my lack of fear of death. Once you are dead it doesn't matter. I am never scared of death, but I never tempt fate.
