Back to Commewijne: A Fresh Take on Warung Shaqien!

 🚀 Back to Commewijne: A Fresh Take on Warung Shaqien! 🍲 Greetings, Story Time friends! It’s your captain, Shachem Lieuw from Story Time Productions, reporting for duty! 🛸 Today, we are taking a trip down memory lane and heading back to the beautiful district of Commewijne ! 🌿 As you might remember from my previous blog posts, I’ve featured the legendary Warung Shaqien before. But hold onto your seats, because things have changed—and for the better! 💨 A Cool Upgrade ❄️ You know how the Surinamese sun likes to turn up the heat? Well, Warung Shaqien has officially leveled up with new indoor AC dining ! It is the perfect sanctuary to escape the tropical blaze while digging into some classic Javanese comfort food. 🍜 The Feast 🍱 We kept it traditional with some of my absolute favorites—the very same dishes you’ve seen during my many Story Time transmissions: Long Tong Tahoe: Perfectly textured and seasoned. 🍢 Saoto Soup with Ketjap: The ultimate soul-soother. 🥣 I also dec...

Ramblings of Inner me

    The Universe in the Mirror

The world outside is a crowded stage, A noisy, frantic, turning page. But when the curtains finally fall, And I’m the only one in the hall, The "me vs. me" begins its dance— A quiet, cosmic, inward glance.

I forget the "you," I forget the "they," As the outer borders melt away. For deep within this skin and bone, A seed of everything has grown; A silent witness, vast and wide, With the whole of existence tucked inside.

The stars you see in the velvet night? I’ve got their glow, I’ve got their light. The mountain’s peak, the ocean’s floor? I find them through my inner door. To the passing eye, it’s a tangled mess, A "crazy" rambling, I must confess.

But the poet in me knows the truth: The world is old, yet it has no youth. Everything you seek in the wind and sea, Is already breathing... inside of me.

Walk with me, family! 

That was a little something from the soul—a reminder that while we’re all out here navigating the hustle, the real treasure map is written on the inside. It might sound like ramblings to some, but to those of us who listen to the rhythm of the heart, it’s the only language that makes sense.

If you felt that vibe and want to dive deeper into the magic of the inner self (and the outer beauty of Suriname!), you’ve gotta join the circle.
