People in Suriname
Suriname is a country with very warm people. There is such diversity in people here.
Most of the ethnic groups created communities and stayed there with their family. It’s not until the last century that the ethnic groups started to mix. Black/Native Indian and Indian/Indonesian were the first mixes to rise. Well, I mean aside from the white slave owners who were mixing with the black slave girls. Before you know it, everyone started mixing.
One thing that is very unique in Suriname is the hospitality. It is very normal to visit someone and be invited inside to enjoy a meal together. There is some ethnic discrimination, but compared to most parts of the world, it’s negligible.
Holidays, cultural food and traditions are shared among the races. Almost everyone eats what the others cook. Religious holidays are celebrated by everyone. Even though there are quarrels here and there so now and then, the Surinamese people have a strong bond when it comes to their country.
1 week in Paramaribo will teach you so much about cultures from around the globe. One more reason why Suriname is a very good choice for vacation.
