Hosting Our First Tour In The Village Foetoenakaba

 Hosting Our First Tour In Foetoenakaba Welcome back my Story Time friends! I am excited to take you guys on another travel adventure. We're going to Sipaliwini again. I instantly miss the place whenever I sit behind my laptop and create content about the villages. Sipaliwini is the largest and greenest district in Suriname. When I was 15 years old I visited Sipaliwini for the first time and arrived in Foetoenakaba. It was the first time I visited a maroon village in this part of the country. Years later, life brought me back to Foetoenakaba. We headed there a day earlier before our guests arrived. It was the first tour we organized and the first time my boat would have passengers. A special moment, that has become a fond memory. Getting there was hectic. It involved a lot of preparations and we left late from the city. Thanks to our friends in Paramaribo and Sipaliwini we arrived to catch the last boat at Atjonie. The boat was loaded with barrels since this boat was initially me

" Animation of glow in the dark tetras in an aquarium"


Hello friends, welcome back to another Story Time adventure. Lately, I've been creating a lot of content about pet shops. I plan on combing through all the pet stores in Suriname. My obsession with fish and aquariums takes me to these stores. I am especially fond of the glow-in-the-dark tetras. In Paramaribo Noord, there are a few pet stores. One day we were in the area to finish a job for a client. We wrapped up our work earlier than we thought we would. I opened my Google Maps and Google showed me a few pet stores in the area.  The first pet store we visited for the day was Pet Premium. But they didn't have any fish in the store. They did have lots of supplies and toys for cats and dogs. The store had a sign that indicated they also had a kennel and provided pet grooming. The lady in the store was nice enough to recommend another pet shop that deals in fish and aquariums. I couldn't find this store on Google Maps. But that was because I didn't know the store's name. The Spanish-speaking lady from Pet Premium only gave us directions. Despite the directions the nice people from Pet Premium gave me, I didn't immediately find the place. I stopped at a Chinese store and asked the guy sitting behind the register if he knew about a store in the area that sells fish and aquariums. For my luck, the store owner knew exactly where The Pet House was. The Pet House wasn't far from his store and the Roopram restaurant on his street. With new directions, it only took me a few minutes to arrive at my destination. We had no trouble finding a parking space on their large property. Before I even stepped foot in their store, I got distracted. The fluffy bunnies, exotic birds, and fish caught my attention. They also had turtles in an aquarium outside of their shop. For some reason, most of these turtles were sticking their necks out of the water. Maybe they were as curious about me, as I was about them. I felt like a kid visiting a mini zoo. Once I visited all the pets outside, I finally went into the store. They mostly sell small aquariums and food for fish, dogs, cats, and other animal friends. It was busy inside! I took a moment to stare at the pond built inside the shop. The fish that they had in there were big! They swam around unbothered by the humans surrounding them. I made a vlog of my visit to the Pet House in Paramaribo Noord to share with you guys. I hope you enjoy it, after a while I had to turn off the camera. I spoke to the lady and she was friendly. She only spoke Spanish, so I had to brush up my rusty language skills to communicate. But despite the language barrier, she was still helpful and answered all my questions. I did notice that all the pet stores I visited up until now, have Spanish-speaking women working there.It could be that our Latin neighbors know more about fish. What pet from my video would you take home with you?
