Are we Surinamese people are going to ignore what he said? Suriname has almost every two weeks a holiday 😂😂

[@cekecekebambam9512]

Been living in USA for 30 years. My dream is to go back to Suriname. It is the most peaceful nation in the world !

[@rijsdijkm.6595]

I love how he is so educated about our country and culture. So happy he knows it's bakabana and not bekbanan.

[@ronnybardan9084]

Ik reageer maar in het Nederlands nu ik heb gehoord hoe goed je de taal spreekt. Ik heb genoten van jouw video en je hebt mij een trots gevoel gegeven om Surinamer te zijn. Veel succes met het verder verspreiden van het Evangelie.

[@daniel_sky20]

Mannn this dude gat a dutch accent ano sranang accent dja😂😂

[@sandrachin2119]

Thank you for this. Very nice video. Must correct you on one thing though. It's not a Hindu temple next to the synagogue but a mosque.

[@sandrachin2119]

En je spreekt best goed Nederlands.

[@maki910]

I am from Suriname to thank you to being here🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷

[@hiddentalents616]

You portrayed my country very well. I feel so proud. Thank you!!!

[@chevrandyw4903]

I don't know if you know this, the Surinamese community will love you forever now. This is the sh*t that we like.

[@elinebommel893]

That is why They call Surinam THE LAND HOSPITALITY AND LAUTHER.

[@coockiehead0074]

Me a surinamese watching people talking about the country I was born and raised in, and getting prouder and prouder✌🏾😙

[@vanessavanommeren9480]

😂😂 I laughed so hard when he mentioned our time schedule. Great video 🤗🇸🇷

[@xiomarawirjosemitoh2578]

Thankyou so much for this. At the end i realized why you were in Suriname. In my street there are always 2 guys riding on a bike doing the same work you did. And they are always so nice, they always stop to ask if you need help with anything. It amazed me how well you can speak the language. Sending my love ❤

[@coolcatdozzit6482]

Greetings from Canada. This is a real nice witty video review . Well done. Good insights into what makes Suriname tick or intriguing to outsiders. Hope to visit someday. Tot sins.

[@barbercheqquardio8090]

Pagwa is in march...and yeah. .I enjoy this video.. One of the cleanest explanation of my country ever. And old year is the best of the year after that is pagwa. But this must be an video of 2011 to 2014..cuz we have iphone11 and all that..We dresses different now..also we the first that has the 5G network in the Caribbean. The infrastructure of the city especially has been much much better. .but the corruption has gone bad.. But we hope for the best

We in Suriname celebrate some of the religion's feast together whether you're any religion or if you want to . Cause we love the food . 😂

[@ourinnersource09]

Wow, your Dutch is so good! Really impressed. If I didn't knew you were an American I would totally think you were born in The Netherlands or in Suriname, when hearing you speak Dutch only.

[@stephaniebaksh6683]

I love the way you voice your experience in Suriname. It's so smooth, so honest and so humble! ❤

[@Crazy_Humorous]

[@urbnctrl]

I love how my brothers from Suriname share the same type of passion of their country as the Dutch. Same kind of comments under the video that resonates positive vibes pride and joy. BIGI LOBI. Btw the pepper you named is called Madame Jeanette, named after a famous seducer.

[@n_m05550]

Suriname is a very beautiful country and I try to visit it a lot but since I moved to the US I couldn’t visit my moms family 😔

[@twannajohnson3412]

About 6 years ago, I visited the interior. I enjoyed the beauty especially floating down the river to the interior!

[@graceburlson1307]

Yup, we don't mind about clothing. Last years I rocked my moms old dresses and blouses. If it's clean and doesn't look worn out it's good to go.

[@janblessed62]

Proud sranang man hier. Shout out to Suriname.

[@youngd8990]

Sranang na wang leker land like als het waar is ❤❤❤❤😍😍😍

[@voornaam3191]

16:43 Ik wil jullie ontmoedigen? Oops, you meant "bemoedigen", ontmoedigen has exactly the opposite meaning. Bemoedigen is to encourage, ontmoedigen is to discourage. There are some more words containing courage, and it is not always clear what they mean anymore. Try verootmoedigen, you could best ask a retired Dutch minister or priest. Ootmoed could be an ancient Dutch word for awe. Talking of awe, I think this an awesome video. Thank you very much.

[@valiesari8221]

Hartelijk dank voor uw videotje. U spreekt heel goed nederlands. Zo leuk om dit alles te zien 🥰🥰

[@lisajoann464]

Thankyou for putting my country Suriname out there. ❤.

I'm starting an eco-community in Costa Rica with a focus on permaculture and personal growth. Does anyone from Suriname have suggestions on how to find people in Suriname who might want to work on such a project?

[@SunFlower-wu7to]
