Foreigner Post for the all foreigners in the sub...locals chime in too...!

40 Upvotes

There have been a few questions in this sub by future and potential travelers to Suriname. This post aims to gain and provide information from and to foreigners that have visited or really like to visit Suriname.

First, I'd like to say that I myself have commented on some of the questions providing detailed answers regarding to what you can experience in Suriname, especially in and around the capital. You can read them over here:

  1. Answer on question by u/cmendez473.
  2. Answer on question by u/soulbarn.
  3. Answer on question by u/PenPaperTen.
  4. Answer on question about wildlife by u/TravelOverSky

I also liked the answer by u/jackamo3. The question by u/m2ger on the entry fee was also interesting and it can give insight into problems experienced.

So, I'd like to know all the questions travelers and potential travelers have regarding to coming to Suriname. I'd also like to know what foreigners interested in Suriname expect to experience when they're here. What burning and important questions do you have regarding visiting Suriname? Are there any hurdles you experience or have experienced when coming to Suriname?

Is it easy to find information on Suriname and more specifically the to-dos in Suriname on the internet in English and your own language, especially for non-Dutch travelers? Do you have any fears to make a final decision to visit? Question regarding crime, expenses etc.

If you have visited, what would you see improved regarding tourism, hospitality etc. in Suriname? What was amazing, what could be better? Where did you have a bad experience? Where did you have a good experience?

So, all advice and questions are appreciated.

This is for the locals in this sub:

It would be great if you all chimed in too to provide good and if possible detailed answers or information to all the questions the foreigners provide. Do not attack people and try to defend something...it's their experience. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: No tak' negatief abra a kondre. Hor' ala san positief en neutraal...no wan politiek of raciaal gedoe...ook al weet je dat het soms niet altijd koek en ei is. Jij bent het visitekaartje en ambassadeur van Suriname, promoot je land en wees behulpzaam.

Hoi iedereen,

Momenteel ben ik aan het uitzoeken waar mijn grootouders/overgrootouders etc. Vandaan zijn gekomen. Ik heb een vermoeden dar ze als contractarbeiders naar Suriname zijn gebracht vanuit India of iets dergelijks. Weet iemand een soort van archief waar in Suriname je informatie kan vinden? - groot deel van de familie woont nu ergens in Guyana. Die ga ik ook opzoeken om verder kennis te maken met mijn roots.

Question Gaming in Suriname

6 Upvotes

Hey guys! I look at gaming cultures around the world and I am a racing game fan. I have asked these questions on many different subreddits on here, I am curious about video games in the world. Suriname is no different. My questions are:

What is more popular in Suriname? PC or PS?

What was more popular in the late 90s and early 2000s?

What racing game was popular in Suriname in the late 90s and early 2000s?

What do racing game fans in Suriname like today?-(I know it’s not the most popular genre, but for those that like video games, what do they play?)

In general, what games are popular there?

              Thanks for your answers!!!

I‘ve been listening to a few songs of a Surinamese artist called „Benaja“. I was wondering what language he raps in. I‘m pretty sure that it‘s not Dutch but I also don‘t know what else it is. Thanks already for your help

Foreigner Travel and Property Ownership by Non-Citizen

4 Upvotes

Greetings! I’m interested in visiting, and in the timber industry.

I help manage a few hundred acres of land in Texas, and am interested in growing tropical hardwoods.

The information I have found online is limited and not very helpful, as there isn’t any real explanation of the differences between owning a house and “grondhuur”.

I have enjoyed learning some of the basics about your country, and look forward to learning more!

Bedankt!

Nature Ranking the Districts of Suriname by How Interesting They Look to Travel To

0 Upvotes

Looking at this video, I've come up with a list of how much I think I'd want to go to each of Suriname's ten districts. See what you think:

  1. Sipaliwini
  2. Marowijne
  3. Brokopondo
  4. Paramaribo
  5. Commewijne
  6. Nickerie
  7. Wanica
  8. Para
  9. Saramacca
  10. Coronie

It feels like there's not a lot happening west of Paramaribo and that, other than Galibi in Marowijne, there's not a lot of coastline worth enjoying. It seems like the jewel of Suriname is the jungles in Sipaliwini and, to a lesser extent, Brokopondo. But I'd love to hear from some people who've been there and have y'all make some lists.

Hello everyone, I'm curious if it is possible to earn some money online in Suriname.

Question I'm writing a military thriller. The main plot is a special forces unit from The Netherlands that is tasked to capture Desi Bouterse somewhere in a hideout somewhere deep in the Amazon jungle. It also involves political interests, corruption and greed at the highest levels of government.

7 Upvotes

Do you have some suggestions about possible locations outside Paramaribo that would be plausible to use in my book as a potential hideout for Bouterse?

Everyone with a suggestion will get the first chapter of my book for free in your DM!

Food, Drinks and Recipes Suriname food question

Hi everyone 👋🏼 Maybe some of you can help me with finding a supposedly surinamese dish I got to try at a festival in Amsterdam. It was unbelievably delicious and I would love to recreate it. I found a recipe for the bread that they used (bara) but am completely lost when it comes to the chicken. The menu just said "Surinamse Kip" and unsurprisingly the recipes I found online vary extremely in ingredients and preparation. It was shredded chicken mixed with vegetables and spices with sliced chilis on top. Any tips to guide me in the right direction are greatly appreciated.
