Koewarasan Birthday Party

Greetings from Tropical Suriname! I am dragging you to a Surinamese Javanese Birthday Party in Koewarasan in this Story Time episode. A close acquaintance of mine was celebrating her birthday. I couldn't resist sharing the Surinamese party vibes with my dearest readers Koewarasan is one of the 7 resorts in district Wanica. When we arrived at the party it was crowded! The band was busy giving a speech and my friends and I didn't want to be rude. We took a walk to this BBQ restaurant nearby. The last time I had been in this part of Koewarasan this place didn't exist. But now it has become like a small recreation spot in Koewarasan. There are even pool tables available to play on. Music fuelled the atmosphere. After our short curious scroll, we returned to the party to congratulate the birthday woman. She looked gorgeous in her outfit with a fabric that hinted towards the Javanese cultural roots. The party was overcrowded in no time and most people came to dance. The band is popular among the locals. The floor was filled with dancers. They were all in sync with their Potjo Potjo moves. Potjo Potjo is a dance that has become a symbol of the modern Javanese dancing culture. People from other cultures join the dance floors and swing along. Others travel all around the country to showcase their Potjo Potjo skills during different events. This is the beauty of Suriname and its people. Hidden somewhere underneath all the economic stress the country faces, our people are still passionate and vibrant in expressing and sharing our culture. Of course, no Surinamese party is complete without food. When it was time to call it a night, we left the vibrant dance floor behind us. Under the night sky, we found our way home and ended another day and chapter in this part of the Caribbean. I made a vlog of our night out and I hope you enjoy watching it. I can't wait to share more adventures with you soon. Are you traveling soon? Let Expedia save you the stress! Book your flights, accommodations, and car rentals in one place.
