Christmas Fair At Onafhankelijkheidsplein 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.
