Christmas Fair At Onafhankelijkheidsplein In Paramaribo

"Christmas ornaments made from grass at Onafhankelijkheid plein in Paramaribo"

Hello Story Time friends, it's my pleasure to be writing to you again from warm tropical Suriname. In the new year, I visited the Christmas Fair at Onafhankelijkheidsplein which was still going on. Onafhankelijkheidsplein means independence square. In the heart of Paramaribo, right across the Presidential Palace, you'll find our Surinamese Independence Square. Each year a Christmas tree is placed on the Onafhankelijkheidsplein to spread the holiday cheer. This year they went all out with the Christmas Decorations! When I drove by the new year barely started. But that didn't stop the crowds from gathering. I was no different and had to get a few shots to share with you guys. I asked someone else to take pictures for me but none of them came out well.👀😓😂 They do say that not everyone has the eye for it. Once I took out my Nikon D3300 people probably thought that I was a photographer working there.😅😂 That happens often whenever I pull out my filming equipment. But in the spirit of the New Year, I ended up taking some shots of the families spending time at the fair. You could clearly see that the transformation from the park to the Christmas Fair put a smile on a lot of playing kid's faces. There were reindeer, snowmen, and giant Christmas ornaments all around. Although at the time of shooting the video, I forgot the word ornaments in English.😂So you will hear me saying Christmas balls a lot in my vlog. Switching between Dutch, English and all the other languages I speak sometimes gets me confused with words. If you are a bilingual person like me you'll understand the struggle. Horses were giving the children a ride around Onafhankelijkheidsplein. Some stands were selling food and there was even a merry-go-round! My inner child could only imagine how much fun the kids were having going on the carousel. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this vlog I made for you.

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

Pizza Dinner At Ettore's

Pizza Dinner At Ettore's Welcome back to another Story Time foodie adventure in tropical Paramaribo. On the coast of South America, the rainy season has returned. A relief after witnessing the rivers go dry in Suriname.😤 On this particular night, I remember the rain pouring all night. That's how I knew that the rainy season was about to begin. My friends visited me and we went on an unexpected food adventure! Since we were all craving Pizza, we decided to go to Ettore's Pizza. It's the authentic Italian Pizza restaurant located on the property of Hotel Courtyard by Marriott in Paramaribo. When we walked in, it stopped pouring rain. I took that as a sign from the Gods that we were about to be blessed with some warm and delicious food. Despite the rainy weather, many people were still seated at the restaurants in the backyard of Courtyard by Marriott in Paramaribo. A hostess seated us and we received the menu in our hand. I like the cozy interior design of Ettore'

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

Lunch At Hotel Torarica

Lunch At Hotel Torarica Hello friends, as you noticed, the Story Time U.F.O. hasn't taken off from Torarica yet! When we finished checking in at Royal Torarica we were hungry! It's good that we were only a short walk from Torarica. Through the backyard of Royal Torarica, we found our way into the restaurant of Hotel Torarica. We sat in their dining room and ordered food from their menu. In my vlog, you will see the food items and prices listed on Hotel Torarica's menu. I had some chicken with corn. My plate was filled with greens and even had a chicken sate included. It was delicious! But my favorite had to be the truffle wedges! If you are visiting Hotel Torarica, I'd definitely recommend trying it! They are topped with parmesan cheese. A simple but buttery and flavorful dish. Stew ordered a fish dish that came with watermelon. It was relaxing to have dinner in the backyard of Torarica. We could hear the birds chirping and some birds even landed on our tables. But k
