Lunch At Hotel Torarica

Night out at KFC and MC Donald's before the gas prices went up in Suriname

 Story Time: Night out at KFC and McDonald's before the gas prices went up in Suriname


"Shachem Lieuw at restaurant de verdieping in Paramaribo"


Hello my dearest Story Time friends from around the world how have you been? As I am writing to you now, the situation in my home country Suriname is very chaotic. Mostly I avoid writing about politics on my blog. Except for maybe the old posts that I got rid of. But those were only talking about my personal experiences and adventures in the political field in this South American country. But what has happened in the last couple of days has been very shocking to the Surinamese people.  The political party that I am a part of the National Party Suriname decided to step out of government and held a press conference about that. A couple of days later protests were held that were planned and organized in advance. Unfortunately, these protests went out of hand. If you want to know more about what happened feel free to google it. The internet is full of videos and content about the scary plunderings, robberies, and fires being started in the country.  Everyone has their own perspective on what happened. The only thing I can say is that it bleeds my heart to see my beloved country in such a situation. And for what? 👀😓😤😣
I keep explaining to my people politicians and the lies. Surinamese people have put their fate in the wrong leaders so many times, and that's how we got here. 😖 The foundation that my generation, the so-called promised generation was meant to have has been destroyed. If we keep going on at this rate even the generations after me will suffer from the bad decisions that the political leaders of this country have made. We are rich in natural resources, but the debt hanging over us doesn't provide promising prospects for the future. It's no secret that the people are unhappy, but what good will destruction bring to a nation that's already drowning in debt?😓 In the last couple of years my motto has been power does not speak, it acts. I just hope that you keep the well-being of our people, our nation, and our future in your prayers. To my people be smart, and safe. I just wanted to share a bit about the overwhelming situation at the moment in Suriname. But it's a good thing the police and the military took action and caught some of the troublemakers. They even retrieved some of the stolen items from the plundering. A couple of weeks before this incident I went to visit the Hermitage mall for this Story Time episode. I went on the night before the new gas prices were announced. The new prices created long lines and traffic since everyone wanted to fill their tank up before the new rates went in. That was nothing compared to the situation today. For a country that's rich in oil, the future of oil provisions seems uncertain. The government is behind on subsidy payments. People have been standing in line for hours at the Go2 (Surinamese Staatsolie-owned service stations). In the hopes that this situation gets better, I share with you my Story Time adventure. We went to McDonald's and I got a chocolate sundae. Unfortunately, they didn't give me any peanuts to add on top of my sundae. Normally you are supposed to get those along with your order of Sundae ice cream. We also ordered a family meal combo. That came with 5 pieces of spicy chicken, 2 sides of fries, and 1 large cola bottle. I was craving some spicy food. So we went to KFC that's right across the Hermitage mall, in the same building as Posh. We made use of the MC Donald's and KFC drive-thru. At the MC Donald's drive-thru, we had to wait in their parking lot for a while before our order was finished. But at the KFC drive-thru, we didn't have to wait long at all. At the KFC drive-thru, I ordered their double cruncher with a side of spicy sauce. The KFC drive-thru is located right next to the car center with the pretty cars. You won't miss it!  I made a video about my food adventure for you guys. Before you watch it, don't forget to subscribe to my Story Time blog when you see that U.F.O. 👾👽 pop up on your screen. You could also subscribe by entering your email address under the follow it option in the sidebar. I appreciate all the support that I get on my content creation journey.💖 If you like spicy food, you will love the spicy taste of the KFC faya cruncher. The McDonald's spicy chicken has a light spicy kick to it. But that doesn't make it any less delicious than it is. Enjoy my video guys and until next time, right here on Story Time. Maybe when things settle down, and peace returns to the country you get the chance to not only experience the beauty of Suriname but to also taste its diverse food options. There are a lot of strange things happening around the world. But that won't stop me from exploring or sharing my adventures with you guys.💕

Paint Shopping And Food Stop At Warung Resa

 Paint Shopping And Food Stop At Warung Resa Hello Story Time friends, welcome back! I'm taking you along on another vlog. This video was made on a hectic day. I split the content of my adventures into different parts. So make sure you subscribe and stay tuned. There are a lot of stories that I still have to finish. I wish I had more time for my creative projects. But with my lifestyle in Suriname that is not realistic! Anyway, we're going paint shopping in different stores. I visited HJ De Vries, Malhoe's Building Materials, and a Historex retailer. When we were done combing through stores for our project, I was hungry and tired! So we decided to go to Warung Resa. Their Javanese food reminds me of my late grandmother's and aunt's cooking. It's flavorful and authentic. We had the Gudanang and the Long Tong Tahoe. Both are traditional dishes in Javanese culture. Long Tong Tahoe is made with bean sprouts, Tahoe, and chicken. It's then drizzled with a spicy

Green Key Expo At Torarica

 Green Awareness Expo At Torarica Hola mi amigos welcome back to a new Story Time adventure! There is a vibrant city in the beating heart of the Amazon rainforest! This city is rich with multi-ethnic culture and flavorful food. Of course, I am talking about Paramaribo. Living in the Amazon Rainforest, we're surrounded by greenery. But these parts of the Amazon Rainforest haven't been unaffected by global warming. The recent droughts where multiple rivers and creeks were empty is an example. The gold mining and wood exploitation that happens in our jungles is affecting the beauty of our land. Protecting the Amazon Rainforest means protecting the lungs of the world. Green awareness is a topic that's often mentioned in this part of the world. Hotel Torarica organized a Green Key fair and of course, I had to visit! Now I can finally share the Story with you guys! Creating these Story Time episodes takes a lot of work. So I'd appreciate it if you subscribe and join our tri

Shadows Of Love

 Shadows Of Love Sometimes you must shuffle the deck a few times to be dealt the right hand. And sometimes you meet that King Of Hearts in the first move that the game will demand. In the shadows of love, there are many secrets hidden. Something about you felt familiar, calm, and at the same time forbidden. I wonder what the universe was conspiring when our paths crossed. From a distance, I felt your eyes capture my soul. Maybe this is a story that should never be told! But they say that if you want to enter the paradise of lovers you have to pay the toll! A friend once asked me a question, he said: " What is it you are looking for now that we are getting old?". I told him I wanted someone who could spark my mind, soul, and maybe my inner sexual being. After he exposed the beauty hidden in my poetry, thoughts kept flirting with this hidden feeling. Sometimes we need the right people to ask us the right questions! But sometimes when the ones we hide in our hearts want to kno

Story time with Donovan Dongo, Dongo brothers selected for W.W.E

   Storytime with Donovan Dongo, Dongo Brothers selected  The Dongo brothers holding the Surinamese flag in front of the  W.W.E performance center in America. Today I have some good news for the people of Suriname. I know I am a bit late with this story, but what can I say. I have been having problems with my Internet provider for a while now.  If you live in Suriname, you probably can relate. But on with Storytime, today we are going to talk about the Dongo brothers.  These guys have proven that dreams do come true, with a lot of hard work and effort.  The World Wrestling Entertainment (W.W.E) has selected Donovan and Leandro Dongo to represent Suriname. They made it past their last tryouts and were selected out of 30.000 applicants. The Dongo brothers have proven what they are made of, but they have also put Suriname on the world map when it comes to wrestling entertainment.  Donovan Dongo shares his experiences with Storytime in a video he recorded. But since I have a

Blogger notes: Happy new year! Storytime in 2022

Happy new year, Storytime in 2022 Hi guys, I want to wish all of you a happy new year. I am learning to stay positive no matter the circumstances. Throughout the years I have become a professional at it. The weird thing is, the better I get at it the better my skills become. I have to say I am proud of myself for getting through last year. There were some painful lessons, as usual. I have come to learn that they are a part of the journey that helps me build my successes. The more I embraced positivity the less my anxiety became.  Anxiety can be a messed-up demon, but the warrior in me kind of grew tired of it and decided to stab it. That's the problem when you know how strong you are.  The only thing is, I just wasn't in a hurry to grow up. Especially if you grew up in the public eye like I did. But I have no regrets. Because each step that I made in life also led me to beautiful people and beautiful experiences. The more content I feel with my life, the more my inn

Hotel Torarica

I am back with a new Story Time episode. Fingers crossed that my schedule allows more posting this year. I have a lot of stories to share with you from my different adventures. In this adventure, we are having a pool day at hotel Torarica in Paramaribo. When I filmed this video I had just reached my first 10.000 views on Youtube. That was a while ago when I just started my Youtube journey.  Filming for Youtube and my blog has been quite the learning journey. From all the technical difficulties to the content I lost and figuring out how to get better shots. But when you are as determined as I am you learn while you are on the go. I am excited to see what fun content I'll create in the coming year. It helps a lot when you subscribe to my blog by filling in your e-mail address when that Sto
