Late night food adventure at Popeyes Lelydorp in Suriname

 Late-night food adventure at Popeyes Lelydorp

Hello my dearest Story Time friends from around the world, how have you been? Well, I had one rough week.😓😒 I hope your days were a lot better though. 💓People often like to write and share about the positive things in their life. I'm not always someone who opens up like a book to read. That energy I'd rather put into creating the books that you enjoy reading. 😻 At least that's one of the good things happening in my life. Okay, you have the good and the bad. Life is giving me quite a beating and this wasn't how I imagined 30 to be. Something that I hyped up a couple of months ago on my blog. Now I'm just breathing and taking the smacks in my face as I realize it's a part of my journey. It helped me understand my strengths, but it also exposed my weaknesses. I'm not going to burden you with the details of what I call a stroke of bad luck or maybe an intensive adventure the universe is preparing me for? Sometimes I like to mention these things in my stories to remind people that it's all in the game of life like someone once taught me! We all go through bad episodes and struggles and for a while it wanted to play with my mind as I struggled to find time to breathe or time to write and create! Hence it's been a while and I've had so many more unfinished adventures to finish. I know this is a foodie adventure, but not all adventures have a happy beginning, twist, or end! When I face rough times I just remind myself of all the self-love articles I wrote. That's what keeps me inspired to believe in myself! In this rough chapter of my life most of the time that's the only thing I hold onto. But this hasn't been my first rodeo with bad experiences!😤 I might judge it as the toughest right now, a momentarily vague truth as the priorities in life constantly switch!😒 The reason I'm starting this Story Time adventure is to inspire others to not give up, no matter how rough your week was! I met someone and he told me about the bad things that happened to him, and although in my mind he had a mere scar compared to my inner bleeding he spoke about depression. He told me about how he felt like his life was falling apart because he was falling back compared to other people his age. That's when I realized that we fall for the illusions. We're so fed with positive stories on social media and in society that we create imaginarily standards and timelines in our heads. I on the other hand am aware that there is always someone stuck in a deeper gutter. But I am also aware that in the end, it won't matter. When our coffins hit the ground there is no more incentive to stress.😥😭That's the sad less glamorous reality of life. So it doesn't matter if I'm doing good or bad, I'll always root for you!💓💋 If you're grounded, it brings more stability to our society, and for you! As I make my mistakes and learn I leave this hopefully eternal wisdom laying around on the world wide web. Now back to the Story Time foodie adventure! It feels good to be writing and sharing new adventures with you guys again! Sometimes I really just need to get away from all the sound and people around me just to get some time squeezed in for my stories.😣It's scary the changes life forced me to make. And I often get the feeling that the people around me don't understand 😪. This is the part of the story where the superhero shows up late for class, work, and everything else they got going on in their life because they were out saving the world. Nevertheless, our hero has an interesting food adventure to unravel for you. Our late-night food adventure takes us to Popeyes Lelydorp in Suriname. That's right Louisiana's kitchen found its way to Lelydorp! It all started one night when I was tired from working and felt overwhelmed by a lot of things! I was hungry and my friend suggested let's go to Lelydorp to pin some cash and get some Popeyes. I didn't want to leave my house, especially since I felt stressed out and had a lot of paperwork to finish. But my friend insisted and said it would be good for me to get some fresh air. ( When will I learn to listen to my gut instinct? Inner me is already like ugh see why you get into these situations!)👀😹😹My friend offered to treat me and that's how I got dragged out of my house. We got a ride to Lelydorp but when we got there none of the ATMs worked.😧We almost got stranded there but at least Popeyes Lelydorp let us buy food. The banking system in Suriname is very stressful right now. That's why some locations also take an extra fee from your bill for card payments. If you're traveling in Suriname, don't take risks! Always have cash on hand! In the following days, I heard many people complain about the out-of-order ATMs throughout the country. A lot of people on Lelydorp were also disappointed! An emotional man was complaining about how he had to buy food for his kid.😱😰 Lately I've also noticed that the situation in Suriname has become so demotivating for locals that a lot of my friends have left the country for good!A decision I understand, but I'm not one of those people who want to abandon my beautiful country! It's tattooed in my heart! This is my home and despite the stressful situation or how limited the growth potential for writers in Suriname is, I believe that some good people need to stay behind. It's not the first time this South American and Caribbean country has had to deal with brain drainage. I like to live and roam with my people who do stay behind. Let me explore the depths of my country and see how far I can take myself despite the odds! I'm already breaking barriers by simply having the opportunity to take you guys along on my food and travel adventures! At Popeyes, we got the spicy chicken 4-piece meal with fries and the bun. I love their bun and fries! That grape jam flavor included in the meal blends so well with Popeye's bun. I made a video for you guys about my late-night food adventure at Popeyes Lelydorp in Suriname. In this video, I'm also reviewing the apple pie on Popeye's dessert menu. On the day I went they were open till late at night because the next day was a national holiday in the country. On the 5th of June 2023, 150 years of Indian Immigration were celebrated in Suriname. The descendants of the first Indian immigrants have integrated well with the other cultures in Suriname. A country where we share each other's food and culture with love! In my future blog posts, I'll explore more sides of the Indian culture in Suriname with you guys. It might be fun to see the similarities for my audience from India.💓Thank you, guys, for being the biggest audience on my Youtube channel. I wanted to bring you guys fun activities that were held in honor of the Indian Immigration but like I said I'm having an interesting adventure of my own with the universe. One I look forward to conquering on my own! Wish me lots of love and luck on my adventures! I'll try to share some more stories with you when I can. That's why it means a lot to me when you jump onto that Story Time U.F.O. and subscribe to my blog!👽👾By becoming a part of our tribe the Story Time saucer will zap my adventures straight to your inbox. 🛸
