Real Guyana,i am Surinamese and i have a lot of respect for your video's.Let me first start to say that Paramaribo was also a very dirty filthy city full of garbage in the streets.The funny and at the same time sad thing was,Surinamese people like to keep their houses clean,but at the same time they threw dirt on the streets!!This is why the Surinamese government had to do something about it,because you cannot keep your houses clean only and then use your own country/city as a garbage place to throw your dirt everywhere!I think there are two keywords,and that is "mentality" and "investment".We know that it is very hard and difficult to change a mindset of a entire population,but i can ensure you that it WILL work if the Guyanese political leaders starting to use media channels to warn those people that "we are very serious now and enough is enough,if you throw garbage on the streets,we will let you pay for that!!I think that Guyana and Suriname are not that different,we have the same culture,share the same history and in fact these two countries are beautiful diamonds,but we must keep our countries clean and orderly at all times.It's better for the tourism sector also,because how can we invite people from outside to come to Suriname/Guyana if we mess up our own country.Keep up the good work,i hope that the Guyanese government will hear your voice because it's a very important message you have here for a better orderly and cleaner Guyana!Many greetings brother.
Wow. I watched both parts back to back. I left Suriname 30 years ago, and didn't realized how calm it was. You really brought out the tranquility and beauty by comparing to Guyana. Really good job, makes me want to back and visit.
I love your videos! They are real and show the reality of what needs to seen. Even though I lived in Guyana for a few years, I can still remember the filth and corruption. I love Guyana and I do believe that if positive changes are made, it can redeem the beauty that it was once had. Keep on doing what you do because I support it. I pray that this reality sinks in with those that can make a difference.
Real I love you. you are concerned about your country and you want to see it looking the best. Sometimes you don't know what to ask for and how other people use their resources. Pointing these things out to people and showcasing how other people take care of their business, they learn that they can do better.
You should submit a copy of your video to the mayor's office as well as the members board to enlighten them. The first step should be the eliminate the loud music on public transportation.
Really enjoyed your video and comparison of simple things in both countries. One thing to mention is that Suriname has very strict laws for disorderly behaviour. 😢 you can’t do as you wish that’s why. Tickets, charges and seizure of buses or disorderly behaviour id dealt with it immediately. Guyana needs more laws and control of those laws. Tickets for disorderly behaviour, trash dumping is ticked. The people of Suriname do not accepting bad behaviour. Serious crime is not acceptable in Suriname at all . 🇸🇷 vs Guyana 🇬🇾 your video shows 😢 the difference. More laws and more tickets in Guyana are needed. At the bus stations in Suriname it has a transport service officer that will ticket the bus drivers . Great video 👍🏼❤️🇬🇾 we can do better. Laws laws 👍🏼
OK. ....definitely I will visit Suriname. ..I thought it was just like Guyana or Worse...Something is definitely wrong with the mindset of many Guyanese....and if and when I visit Guyana again....I want no one pulling or tugging me...luckily it never happened yet!! because it may be might very last visit....don't understand why many Guyanese men are so crude...will always avoid them Like a plaque. If Guyana wants to improve in general...there is much to be done.
Thank you very much Jamie, stay in touch through the Facebook page if you live in Guyana and you will see more frequent uploads in the next month. Doing the shooting, editing, research where necessary and doing the work I need to get done to pay the bills like my fellow mortals, all take time. :) You are in luck this month however, as there are 6 unpublished videos on the list. Two new uploads today and another toward the end of the week with more to follow. Thanks again for your support and kind words.
Dear Real Guyana, I just want to compliment you with the good work you are doing in order to force a change for a better Guyana. You would be a great documentary maker and I really think you have a good heart and you really want to see a change for the better for your country. As a matter of fact you should be part of the government, Guyana needs honest people like you to reign over the country and make it a good place to live in. I can’t imagine that a Guyanese would hate you, they should be proud of you, because if nobody address the huge problems Guyana is facing and the corruption (which is the main cause of the misery Guyana is facing), how would Guyana developed itself? Lots of respect for you and I will keep on following you and I hope Guyana will develop itself due to your contribution. Nice footage of Suriname/Paramaribo again and I hope you have more, because there is more to see in Paramaribo then what you’ve portrayed so far (the old city, the strip (tourist section), Palmentuin (Palm Garden), Hermitage mall, Maretraite mall and several other highlights in the city. Can we expect more? Keep up the good work!

Joan Jagendort Thank you first of all for the support and secondly for being one of the people with a deep understanding of what I am trying to accomplish with these videos. It is true that there is much more to Suriname as there is to Guyana but most unfortunately a virus wiped out much of the additional footage I collected. That said I am more than happy to revisit and collect more to share the experience of driving up the mountain to Brownsberg or a visit to Brocopondo. There is footage from the Hermitage at the end of part two which is now up but this and a trip to the Paramaribo Zoo which I hope to feature in Part 3 will exhaust the footage I was fortunately able to recover. Many thanks once again for the support.
The laws in Guyana needs to be be exercised with penalty for those who litter the place.People need to be charged for littering and systems needs to be put in place like having littler wardens charge people for littering.I would also encourage my fellow Guyanese to travel and see how other countries are or watch videos like this one and learn from them.Guyanese likes to blame the govt for everything but at the end of the day ,yes govt can help but ,it's up to the citizens to keep their surroundings clean.If the citizens do their part that's 90%.Another thing is attitude,Guyanese needs to be more united they are devided as hell along race and politics and that's the big problem with Guyanese and Guyana.So long as Guyanese remain this way Guyana will never get good.
Guyanese don't feel upset some rules and some organizational structures will improve the standard and services of transportation in Guyana. You do nott need a wizard not even money just common cooperation between government and the private.
Yes. The buses wait their turn & if anybody has a favorite bus that they want to get into, if 4 buses are in the line to full, they have to wait until all those buses are filled then they can get into the bus
2nd part of Real Guyana is as expected great. Thanks for that. Do hope you enjoyed your visit in a relaxed and joyable way thats what holidays supposed to be as part of life.The cathedral in indeed a historic masterpiece wish you had shown more of the interior. Looks like you havent been to the synagoge near the mosque? Nowhere else in the world they are next to each others for centuries and also well kept. Real Guyana you are Always welcome to visit Suriname and I hope Guyana will get there acts together to organise and bring structure in their society. Thanks you.
I'm glad that synagoge is still there. It helps us to realize who helped or were a major part in bringing and keeping slaves in both Guyana and Suriname
Thank you Saimo! Sadly I lost a lot of footage of trips to places like Brownsberg to a virus but I'm more than happy to return for more. I also hope Guyana can get it's act together very soon.
Real Guyana Thanks for showing me what to expect of Guyana. I will visit my neighbor, especially to visit the Caiture falls. Wishing you guys all the best.
My dear friend as I said from my comment on the part 1 video I am a senior citizen, when I was a kid growing up in Georgetown right outside of big market there us to be a bus park very organized and orderly when the buses were run by private owners in New Amsterdam it was the same thing even when the Tata buses came in I remember seeing passengers standing in line in the villages on the road to board the bus this was back in the 70's. Guyana needs structure and and adherence to the laws and the government needs more involvement in what goes on, be it transportation, healthcare, hospitality etc. People need to be professional in their jobs and the police department needs reforming. Guyana is not lacking of intellect . Be blessed be safe 🙏💕🇬🇾
Britain abandoned Guyana, also Guyana adopted socialist Marxism as its poltical and economic doctrine, an ideology that Britain was against because it is at odds with socialism. A good example of this is thr guerrilla warfare in Malaysia against communism.
Many of the problems in the world today are because of the UK. The main one being Isreal and the Palestinian problem. The UK had too many colonies. It occupied half the world and was almost bankrupt after WWII fighting a war it didnt need to fight
Zoch Buppet very true. Britain also helped create the United States, and look what mess it created by trying to fix the mess Britain created on a global scale.
Also after world War 2, Britain was bankrupt. In matter of fact, Britain was stupid, Britain could have gave Guyana over to Brazil which Britain owed billions of dollars to. Britain owned billions of dollars for its survival against Hitler. Britain could have helped Guyana out only of Guyana remained a Commonwealth in the British realm, but Guyana became a Republic instead. Times are different. After 1783,Britain resumed trade with the United States and this lead America to grow. Fast forward 200,this was the exact opposite for Guyana.
I'm from Suriname and i can tell you that the Dutch didn't do that much for our country. A great deal of the so called development aid you're speaking of flowed back to the Netherlands through consultants and such. They never even build one bridge over our most important rivers. In that aspect they don't differ much from the British.
Guyana has a British Background and English language and used to have lots of British characteristics. Guyana and Suriname are very comparable. The area that is Guyana used to be Dutch colonies and the Suriname areas used to be British Dutch creole was used in Berbice when it was a colony but it died out as the people started to speak English, when the British over the colonies
Sir i am bit curious that if all surinamese can speak English? As my knowledge suriname is a Dutch speaking country but I can see from your videos from the lady who was selling catfish and the gentleman was in the interview can both speak English. Can you give me some information on this sir. Thank you so much from Vietnam
I live in the U.S. where street commerce is largely prohibited. I wish we had it available to us, as real estate prices are excessively expensive for entrepreneurial small business people.
Ano 2019 and busses here in suriname took over the bike lane drive without lights and curse you when you don't gave them a break! Suriname changed alot right but the cops can't control the busses here. But i only see this behavior on the PL busses.
Real guyana there is more too suriname then paramaribo these days hope you make an update and if you realy want to change things in guyana have too start with attitude. Here is suriname we havent reach toplevel yet we are a long way from home but too gether we can get there.
surinamese is a much more mature people and far less hostile and more mannerly in their canduct, guyanese have a very bullyish attitude ,not all guyanese however is like that, there are some exception, good and bad is in every society,in the case of guyane the bad outnumber the good,
Hazrat Alli : So correct about that Bullyish/Rude/Crude behavior. ....I will always prefer...quiet, Courteous, orderly, respectful. ...the way God wants us all to be. So sad for some of my fellow Guyanese who exhibit those certain negative behaviours.
Another thing, I heard you say that a bank helped build a children's playground and later saw an RBC sign (Royal Bank of Canada). I wonder if you knew if RBC was the said bank because as a disgruntled Canadian client of theirs it would raise my opinion of them considerably!
i have been at the bus depots in GT when i brought my friends daughter to take the bus home. taking a bus is there is a total hell. i worry that something could happen to her
Its always good to put things into perspective. And this should be an eyeopener. I'm Surinamese and the one thing we could say that in my opinion contributed to this success is that we have had much debate oabout where we were as a country. the result of this has been more political engagement as a whole. Now, we are even the first caricom nation to recognize that LGBT people should be treated equal. Sinds 2011 annually a Pride Walk is kept throughout Paramaribo, without any problems of public fighting and so on. My conclusion is that Guyanese have to start treating thereselfs better. And then it comes to this, Guyanese have to give more value on education. that's what we have been doing, rather than making money fast. However i would like to point out that its not perfect everywhere in Suriname, because in the east that is predominantly "Maroon"inhabitants, there are a lot of problems. If you were to go to French Guyana at the border, tugging is definitely a problem. The town of Albina isn't developed as its Westly counterpart Nickerie, because of the braindrain and somewhat anarchial way of living. But is definitely something that is being discussed about. Thank you for sharing. I'm a Guyanese diaspora, in the sense that my mother is from there, and i have always kept Guyana in high esteem, so i to would like for Guyana to prosper more. I have even dreamt of the to becoming a confederation.
I'm from Suriname I live in Almere the Netherlands, you should see what the goverment did in my city. They basically gave the bus their own roads, cyclist have their own road .
Guyanese and Caribbean culture is to tell people point blank what they dont want to know, whether they like it or not. And that is what he is doing I bet like most of the people on here (myself included) you don't even live in Guyana. why cant you compare it to another country.? What is so special about Guyana that you cannot compare it it to other places. How would you know if the country is on the right path if you cannot compare it to a neighbor that's extremely similar? For example if you have a business and the business is not doing well. Wouldn't you look around to see what the other similar shops that re doing better, so you can copy some of their ideas. Or would you keep doing the same thing, until you you go bankrupt?
HOLA SALUDOS DESDE RUSIA UNA CUBANA ENCANTADA POR EL PAÍS DE SURINAM ,LE GUSTA SU GENTE ,SUS BAILE TRADICIONAL. QUISERA CONOCER MAS Y TENER AMIGOS QUIZAS ME VALLA DE RUSIA A VIVIR A SURINAM
Great report Mr. Real seems too good to be named free Lancers report.....keep up the reports and looking forward to future reports consider the other side of the borders......
The problem with Guyana is that culturally it started imitating American Culture or is that modern Jamaican culture . Suriname you still have the European influence, and in Guyana ...I dont know what that crazy 3rd world disaster that is going on there. 18:09 lol Guyana is actually going to get worst or else they have to import people who who are trained in building and designing roads and infastructure....no one left with that sort of experience or training They dont even have people who can organize a parking bay for vans (minbus) so people can get on and off properly
I am proud of suriname becouse in the 80' and begin of the 90' s suriname was just like Guyana. I life in Belgium now l was born in Brazil and look what you can do when you work hard and choose the right goverment. The bigest poisen to a contry is corruption. And when this happens in front of your nose in time you will find it normal. And that is not an good example to the population and genaration to come. etc etc
Suriname has pretty bad governments to be honest. With some "regular" ones between 1990-1996 and 2000-2010. But somehow even our worst ones don't to match the worst ones in the rest of South America. I think its more to the people and the mentality. One big difference in outlook is that Surinamese tend to compare the country with Holland or USA so we always look bad and want to do better. From my experience other South Americans just compare among themselves. The Brazilians will say oooh haha those poor Bolivarians, we are soo lucky, the Argentinians will say ooh those Brazilians we are soo lucky we live in Argentina. We in Suriname we moan about everything, and we look up to those doing well, not down on others that are in a worse shape than us. Only that way you can learn and improve.
Suriname was a Dutch colonial country, probably the education background had a better impact than Guyana where British didn't give a toss on educating poor citizens. Like In Britain if you got money you go to Oxford or Cambridge if you haven't you get educated in Hackney as simple as that.
The police in Guyana take bribes from bus drivers because they put themselves in a position where they throw box hand & they have to get money by a certain time. & the Police Force isn't paying these ranks a proper salary that's why they're doing what they're doing. If they pay these people properly, we wouldn't have this problem
Sounds like you guys are talking about professional code of conduct. Question....why now are Guyanese making reference to Suriname process, especially when they can influence 12% return on their oil. I suspect sabotage??
Suriname is not a perfect country but i live next to a Guyanese woman for the pased years. That woman is a very vile lady rude never says hello beats her children not accommodating at all. Suriname here we are very polite with our neighbours so this is a major shock to us.
Only a change of mentality will accomplish this. This is not simply a case of throwing money at the problem, it is about a concerted effort to change a mindset.
+Real Guyana Great point. As Venezuela has learned, all the oil money in the world means nothing for the people if the corrupt government just want to line their pockets with it...
Kyle Sekenski In 2016 Guyana had a score of 34 compared to 29 the year before on the corruption index.(0 most corrupt,100 most clean)But there's still alot of improvement that still needs to be done!
No amount of oil money will make Guyana better.We need a Government of younger ,capable and futuristic politicians, well off before they are placed in Office, open minded and see all the citizens as Guyanese. Not Afro, Indo Guyanese, etc.I should be noted that we do not have a GUYANESE CULTURE. UNTIL SUCH TIME, AND WHEN THE CITIZENS ACCEPT EACH OTHER WITHOUT PREJUDICES, AND REALIZE THAT WE ARE ONE, WE WILL ALL BE USED BY POLITICIANS. WE NEED TO SEE DOCUMENTARIES ON THE SIDDIS OF INDIA, TO SEE HOW THEY LIVE. ONE SIDDI MALE TOLD AN INTERVIEWER, THAT HE THINKS OF AFRICA, BUT HE IS INDIAN.
As a Surinamese, may I suggest we annex Guyana? LoL. No, honestly, I think Guyana, Suriname and Fr Guiana just need to team up, we're too tiny on our own. Of course keep the name Suriname, Guyana(s) too confusing with Guinea and New Guinea, as a trade we' ll keep English and make Cayenne the capital, deal?
Sure every were in the world you have garbage but the sense is that you manage with a plan to clean it up. At night cleaning services are in place to avoid street litter.
Another problem for Guyana is that it can not attract foreign investors. If Guyana can attract foreign investors, it would be easy for Guyana to develop. It Nasty when Guyana a screwed over a wealthy Brazilian who wanted to make money by recycling unused machinery and structures. Such stories like this as an foreign investor, would make me reluctant not to invest on Guyana. Another big problem for Guyana is capital flight. Wealthy Guyanese send thier money to ABC countries Brazil, Trinidad and such. Guyana needs to add taxes on wealthy who send their money overseas. A Guyanese told me one thing, it's either Guyana gonna rob you, or you gonna rob Guyana. It never works in between. This is why drug trade, smuggling, human trafficking are such big thriving businesses in Guyana
I'm looking at your video to see these "Tauts" that are manhandling women and I didn't see any. I have been to Guyana many times and have not seen these "Tauts" manhandling women. My point is, i'm sure you have them, but from your commentary , one would think that its more the rule as opposed to something that occurs once in a while. Therefore, more like a fallacy of composition. The reason I point this out was because you said it to the young man in Suriname as a matter of fact., as opposed to saying that it sometimes occurs in Guyana.
It seems like Suriname is slowly copying their old mother's land, the Netherlands with their busses schedules....perhaps Guyana should work more with the Brits but dont copy their neoliberal economic nonsese (leave private sector alone because they know it better)...
This manager is bad in his explaining. The goverment doesnt maintain the buses they just pay them through contracts and the dont put head rest for the passengers the owner does that
The population density of Suriname is 3 people per square per square mile, while, in Guyana it is 115 people per square mile. The comparison has to take this into account.
Ninety percent of the inhabitants live on the narrow coastal plain in Guyana, where population density is more than 115 inhabitants per square kilometre (300/sq mi) and its the same for Suriname in the densest regions. The population density for Guyana as a whole is very low at less than four inhabitants per square kilometre (10.4/sq mi) while for Suriname is 3 people per square per square mile as a whole so please fact check.
One of the reason that the police station looks so bad, is that since the Revolution in the early eighties there has always been some kind of feud going on between the Armed Forces and the police. The old military leaders have the power now therefore the construction of the new headquarters of the police was stopped.
The Par'bo police station is housed in a carillion@ Vaillantplein Paramaribo; see 1:32 Then it is compared with the Brickdam police station in Georgetown Guyana; see 1:37
@Jumping Dumpling TV It may seem very peaceful but believe me, the nightlife in Suriname is very vibrant and certainly not diffrent from the rest of the Caribbean.
Real or whatever u call ur self I would say instead of degrading Guyana.U could go about in Guyana with a group and stimulate the citizen about their attitude. U claim there no bins Main street has a few in the.I suggest that cleanliness of ones surrounding s should be emphasize in schools. So Real change that attitude and start to schools l.THNK I.!!!!!!!??
Listen what s ur name ur doing ur job and saying it as it is.But I find u very very negative about Guy.There was a time when Regent and main street was a mes.They Government is working on keeping the place clean. I am a Guy. Living in Surname. I totally dislike the way u are misrepresented and disgrace ing my country. Give me a break no where is perfect and Guy.is building itself the people themselves must change their behavior and u stop degrading my country.
That’s the problem in Guyana. Uncivilized and racist. A positive comment is seen as an attack . For the poorest country in South America there is no hope !
Real Guyana,i am Surinamese and i have a lot of respect for your video's.Let me first start to say that Paramaribo was also a very dirty filthy city full of garbage in the streets.The funny and at the same time sad thing was,Surinamese people like to keep their houses clean,but at the same time they threw dirt on the streets!!This is why the Surinamese government had to do something about it,because you cannot keep your houses clean only and then use your own country/city as a garbage place to throw your dirt everywhere!I think there are two keywords,and that is "mentality" and "investment".We know that it is very hard and difficult to change a mindset of a entire population,but i can ensure you that it WILL work if the Guyanese political leaders starting to use media channels to warn those people that "we are very serious now and enough is enough,if you throw garbage on the streets,we will let you pay for that!!I think that Guyana and Suriname are not that different,we have the same culture,share the same history and in fact these two countries are beautiful diamonds,but we must keep our countries clean and orderly at all times.It's better for the tourism sector also,because how can we invite people from outside to come to Suriname/Guyana if we mess up our own country.Keep up the good work,i hope that the Guyanese government will hear your voice because it's a very important message you have here for a better orderly and cleaner Guyana!Many greetings brother.

Agreed!
The way this guy compares Guyana to Suriname is how I compare Suriname to Japan. ✊🏽😎 love the vlog
Beautiful place. GT can learn a lot from them.
Makes me feel even prouder of my country Suriname I miss it,I'm all the way in Mexico.
Nigel Haaswijk kong esi baka ! Sranan grong e kari joe ! Sranan grong e wakti joe !!!!

Real Guyana no doubt bruh!
Estoy muy muy Encantada muy impresionada con este país
hi real love you're videos please keep uploading more often
Guyanese don't feel upset some rules and some organizational structures will improve the standard and services of transportation in Guyana. You do nott need a wizard not even money just common cooperation between government and the private.
Just came across your video and I definitely enjoy watching it... Thank you. :)
Yes. The buses wait their turn & if anybody has a favorite bus that they want to get into, if 4 buses are in the line to full, they have to wait until all those buses are filled then they can get into the bus
Same system in Grenada.
2nd part of Real Guyana is as expected great. Thanks for that. Do hope you enjoyed your visit in a relaxed and joyable way thats what holidays supposed to be as part of life.The cathedral in indeed a historic masterpiece wish you had shown more of the interior. Looks like you havent been to the synagoge near the mosque? Nowhere else in the world they are next to each others for centuries and also well kept. Real Guyana you are Always welcome to visit Suriname and I hope Guyana will get there acts together to organise and bring structure in their society. Thanks you.
I'm glad that synagoge is still there. It helps us to realize who helped or were a major part in bringing and keeping slaves in both Guyana and Suriname
Thank you Saimo! Sadly I lost a lot of footage of trips to places like Brownsberg to a virus but I'm more than happy to return for more. I also hope Guyana can get it's act together very soon.
Real Guyana Thanks for showing me what to expect of Guyana. I will visit my neighbor, especially to visit the Caiture falls. Wishing you guys all the best.
Real Guyana Hello from Latvia ;) Keep up the good work! ;) maybe in 50 yrs i will move to South America ;) I would like to move there ;)
My dear friend as I said from my comment on the part 1 video I am a senior citizen, when I was a kid growing up in Georgetown right outside of big market there us to be a bus park very organized and orderly when the buses were run by private owners in New Amsterdam it was the same thing even when the Tata buses came in I remember seeing passengers standing in line in the villages on the road to board the bus this was back in the 70's. Guyana needs structure and and adherence to the laws and the government needs more involvement in what goes on, be it transportation, healthcare, hospitality etc. People need to be professional in their jobs and the police department needs reforming. Guyana is not lacking of intellect . Be blessed be safe 🙏💕🇬🇾
I like how these people used a lot of wood which came from their own forest something we could lurn from
I think it would be fair if Britain helped Guyana the same way how the Netherlands helped Suriname with development aid.
Britain abandoned Guyana, also Guyana adopted socialist Marxism as its poltical and economic doctrine, an ideology that Britain was against because it is at odds with socialism. A good example of this is thr guerrilla warfare in Malaysia against communism.
Many of the problems in the world today are because of the UK.
The main one being Isreal and the Palestinian problem.
The UK had too many colonies. It occupied half the world and was almost bankrupt after WWII fighting a war it didnt need to fight
Zoch Buppet very true. Britain also helped create the United States, and look what mess it created by trying to fix the mess Britain created on a global scale.
Also after world War 2, Britain was bankrupt. In matter of fact, Britain was stupid, Britain could have gave Guyana over to Brazil which Britain owed billions of dollars to. Britain owned billions of dollars for its survival against Hitler. Britain could have helped Guyana out only of Guyana remained a Commonwealth in the British realm, but Guyana became a Republic instead. Times are different. After 1783,Britain resumed trade with the United States and this lead America to grow. Fast forward 200,this was the exact opposite for Guyana.
I'm from Suriname and i can tell you that the Dutch didn't do that much for our country. A great deal of the so called development aid you're speaking of flowed back to the Netherlands through consultants and such. They never even build one bridge over our most important rivers. In that aspect they don't differ much from the British.
Very interesting to watch! I love seeing from local's perspective!
Suriname people have a dutch background and s lots off they bahaviors and even the dutch language(the netherlands)
Guyana has a British Background and English language and used to have lots of British characteristics.
Guyana and Suriname are very comparable. The area that is Guyana used to be Dutch colonies and the Suriname areas used to be British
Dutch creole was used in Berbice when it was a colony but it died out as the people started to speak English, when the British over the colonies
Ammiel Debarim And ??
Guyana also has some Dutch background, just not as much as Suriname
Sir i am bit curious that if all surinamese can speak English? As my knowledge suriname is a Dutch speaking country but I can see from your videos from the lady who was selling catfish and the gentleman was in the interview can both speak English. Can you give me some information on this sir. Thank you so much from Vietnam
I live in the U.S. where street commerce is largely prohibited. I wish we had it available to us, as real estate prices are excessively expensive for entrepreneurial small business people.
great report
Ano 2019 and busses here in suriname took over the bike lane drive without lights and curse you when you don't gave them a break! Suriname changed alot right but the cops can't control the busses here. But i only see this behavior on the PL busses.
Real guyana there is more too suriname then paramaribo these days hope you make an update and if you realy want to change things in guyana have too start with attitude. Here is suriname we havent reach toplevel yet we are a long way from home but too gether we can get there.
surinamese is a much more mature people and far less hostile and more mannerly in their canduct, guyanese have a very bullyish attitude ,not all guyanese however is like that, there are some exception, good and bad is in every society,in the case of guyane the bad outnumber the good,
Hazrat Alli : So correct about that Bullyish/Rude/Crude behavior. ....I will always prefer...quiet, Courteous, orderly, respectful. ...the way God wants us all to be. So sad for some of my fellow Guyanese who exhibit those certain negative behaviours.
Another thing, I heard you say that a bank helped build a children's playground and later saw an RBC sign (Royal Bank of Canada). I wonder if you knew if RBC was the said bank because as a disgruntled Canadian client of theirs it would raise my opinion of them considerably!
i have been at the bus depots in GT when i brought my friends daughter to take the bus home. taking a bus is there is a total hell. i worry that something could happen to her
1 question>> Im from Surinam,born here,visit Guyana once in 2005 but why are the busses in urinam bigger then Guyana?
You have a good expose documentary. Keep up the stellar efforts.
Guyana sure looks like a scary place to visit.
Guyanareal nice place but our system real basin organized we can change if we tried, change the ugly policemen and put new ones.
Bad Gov,people can do,itthemself,make changes, and go ahead about the futures
It certainly is
It’s alright, not as organized as Suriname, definitely has charisma though...
North is very beautiful and clean, you should film up north next time. Thats outside of the city.
Real Guyana you really hit the hard with this comparison. ,
Real Guyana, where did u attend your education. Your very educated. Good Job.
Excellent Thanks again. Just wondering if English is widely spoken in Suriname ? Greetings from James J in Limerick city Ireland
Yes, absolutely, english is almost a second language in Suriname, especially among youngsters, as English is taught in all secondary schools....
Guyana reminds me of Philippines.
Its always good to put things into perspective. And this should be an eyeopener.
I'm Surinamese and the one thing we could say that in my opinion contributed to this success is that we have had much debate oabout where we were as a country. the result of this has been more political engagement as a whole. Now, we are even the first caricom nation to recognize that LGBT people should be treated equal. Sinds 2011 annually a Pride Walk is kept throughout Paramaribo, without any problems of public fighting and so on. My conclusion is that Guyanese have to start treating thereselfs better. And then it comes to this, Guyanese have to give more value on education. that's what we have been doing, rather than making money fast.
However i would like to point out that its not perfect everywhere in Suriname, because in the east that is predominantly "Maroon"inhabitants, there are a lot of problems. If you were to go to French Guyana at the border, tugging is definitely a problem. The town of Albina isn't developed as its Westly counterpart Nickerie, because of the braindrain and somewhat anarchial way of living. But is definitely something that is being discussed about.
Thank you for sharing. I'm a Guyanese diaspora, in the sense that my mother is from there, and i have always kept Guyana in high esteem, so i to would like for Guyana to prosper more. I have even dreamt of the to becoming a confederation.
That LGBT thing is not exactly something to boast about...
I'm from Suriname I live in Almere the Netherlands, you should see what the goverment did in my city. They basically gave the bus their own roads, cyclist have their own road .
I love this video🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷
So Real I will never stoop so low like you to compare Guyana with any other country.
Guyanese and Caribbean culture is to tell people point blank what they dont want to know, whether they like it or not. And that is what he is doing
I bet like most of the people on here (myself included) you don't even live in Guyana. why cant you compare it to another country.? What is so special about Guyana that you cannot compare it it to other places.
How would you know if the country is on the right path if you cannot compare it to a neighbor that's extremely similar?
For example if you have a business and the business is not doing well. Wouldn't you look around to see what the other similar shops that re doing better, so you can copy some of their ideas. Or would you keep doing the same thing, until you you go bankrupt?
Great video keep up the good work hope the Guyana government learn from this video post more videos
HOLA SALUDOS DESDE RUSIA UNA CUBANA ENCANTADA POR EL PAÍS DE SURINAM ,LE GUSTA SU GENTE ,SUS BAILE TRADICIONAL.

Great report Mr. Real seems too good to be named free Lancers report.....keep up the reports and looking forward to future reports consider the other side of the borders......
Suriname still has a long way to go, but i understand your comparison.
Real Guyana; when part 3 ?
The problem with Guyana is that culturally it started imitating American Culture or is that modern Jamaican culture .
Suriname you still have the European influence, and in Guyana ...I dont know what that crazy 3rd world disaster that is going on there.
18:09 lol
Guyana is actually going to get worst or else they have to import people who who are trained in building and designing roads and infastructure....no one left with that sort of experience or training
They dont even have people who can organize a parking bay for vans (minbus) so people can get on and off properly
Well said Zoch!!
Zoch Buppet The European influence is long gone out of Surnamese culture its been 44 years since our independence.
why is this one filmed by a different camera?
Nice video bro..
Keep it up..
You should visit su now its more diffrent
Nice video who can explain me what happens in the minute 20:25. I did not see any police in the street
I am proud of suriname becouse in the 80' and begin of the 90' s suriname was just like Guyana. I life in Belgium now l was born in Brazil and look what you can do when you work hard and choose the right goverment. The bigest poisen to a contry is corruption. And when this happens in front of your nose in time you will find it normal. And that is not an good example to the population and genaration to come. etc etc
Suriname has pretty bad governments to be honest. With some "regular" ones between 1990-1996 and 2000-2010. But somehow even our worst ones don't to match the worst ones in the rest of South America. I think its more to the people and the mentality. One big difference in outlook is that Surinamese tend to compare the country with Holland or USA so we always look bad and want to do better. From my experience other South Americans just compare among themselves. The Brazilians will say oooh haha those poor Bolivarians, we are soo lucky, the Argentinians will say ooh those Brazilians we are soo lucky we live in Argentina. We in Suriname we moan about everything, and we look up to those doing well, not down on others that are in a worse shape than us. Only that way you can learn and improve.
Suriname was a Dutch colonial country, probably the education background had a better impact than Guyana where British didn't give a toss on educating poor citizens. Like In Britain if you got money you go to Oxford or Cambridge if you haven't you get educated in Hackney as simple as that.
Hey bro. I'm an American dude hitting up Suriname in February 17. I might hit Guyana up too. get back at me so we can chop it up!
Just drop me a line on the Real Guyana facebook page when you're ready Dave and I'll send you my number.
Ok
Real Guyana check your messages bro
Real Guyana bruh, did you check your youtube message box?
The police in Guyana take bribes from bus drivers because they put themselves in a position where they throw box hand & they have to get money by a certain time. & the Police Force isn't paying these ranks a proper salary that's why they're doing what they're doing. If they pay these people properly, we wouldn't have this problem
Willing to pay MORE taxes?
We call them maxi taxi iin Trinidad.
Dear R G, thank u for the comparison tours of two countries, yes Surinam is so much better to visit or live in rather then Guyana.
Sounds like you guys are talking about professional code of conduct. Question....why now are Guyanese making reference to Suriname process, especially when they can influence 12% return on their oil. I suspect sabotage??
The Guyana Govt need to take all the BUMS OFF THE STREET,,,and put some BINS.
Maria Storm u are very very right. The British led the then British GUI.Now Guyana is crawling up.
Suriname is not a perfect country but i live next to a Guyanese woman for the pased years. That woman is a very vile lady rude never says hello beats her children not accommodating at all. Suriname here we are very polite with our neighbours so this is a major shock to us.
Hopefully the discovery of oil will boost Guyana economy and help it develop its infrastructure and turn it into a developed country.
Only a change of mentality will accomplish this. This is not simply a case of throwing money at the problem, it is about a concerted effort to change a mindset.
+Real Guyana
Great point. As Venezuela has learned, all the oil money in the world means nothing for the people if the corrupt government just want to line their pockets with it...
Kyle Sekenski In 2016 Guyana had a score of 34 compared to 29 the year before on the corruption index.(0 most corrupt,100 most clean)But there's still alot of improvement that still needs to be done!
No amount of oil money will make Guyana better.We need a Government of younger ,capable and futuristic politicians, well off before they are placed in Office, open minded and see all the citizens as Guyanese. Not Afro, Indo Guyanese, etc.I should be noted that we do not have a GUYANESE CULTURE. UNTIL SUCH TIME, AND WHEN THE CITIZENS ACCEPT EACH OTHER WITHOUT PREJUDICES, AND REALIZE THAT WE ARE ONE, WE WILL ALL BE USED BY POLITICIANS. WE NEED TO SEE DOCUMENTARIES ON THE SIDDIS OF INDIA, TO SEE HOW THEY LIVE. ONE SIDDI MALE TOLD AN INTERVIEWER, THAT HE THINKS OF AFRICA, BUT HE IS INDIAN.
I don't like the fish eyes lens camera. Try different lens.
yes. suriname peacefull country.
I like your comment, there's no "boom boom"😀
As an uninformed Canadian, were is the French Governments responsibility in all this?
Or is this the former British Guyana we are taking about?
@@brian13105 This video is about Suriname
🇦🇼🇸🇷
Gayana you can do it to .
Call bauterse for help.
He not president anymore
There are a lot of bus park and this one is the filthiest bus park I must say.
As a Surinamese, may I suggest we annex Guyana? LoL. No, honestly, I think Guyana, Suriname and Fr Guiana just need to team up, we're too tiny on our own. Of course keep the name Suriname, Guyana(s) too confusing with Guinea and New Guinea, as a trade we' ll keep English and make Cayenne the capital, deal?
Nice job expose these people for who they are this might be one of the worst government I have see. in Guyana
Thanks RG for a great video. Guyana is a semi failed state .
Guyanese Owned & Operated EPC/CM/PM/GC. Based in Canada. www.damaze.ca
Garbage on the ground at the Surinamese bus park. :)
But bet your bottom dollar it's going to be picked up! That is something we can learn from as well. :)
Sure every were in the world you have garbage but the sense is that you manage with a plan to clean it up. At night cleaning services are in place to avoid street litter.
Guyana have more garbage than suriname on the ground...nobody have to tell cause i've visit guyana many times
sad....its really sad!!..
call me when you visit again or notify me
Another problem for Guyana is that it can not attract foreign investors. If Guyana can attract foreign investors, it would be easy for Guyana to develop. It Nasty when Guyana a screwed over a wealthy Brazilian who wanted to make money by recycling unused machinery and structures. Such stories like this as an foreign investor, would make me reluctant not to invest on Guyana. Another big problem for Guyana is capital flight. Wealthy Guyanese send thier money to ABC countries Brazil, Trinidad and such. Guyana needs to add taxes on wealthy who send their money overseas. A Guyanese told me one thing, it's either Guyana gonna rob you, or you gonna rob Guyana. It never works in between. This is why drug trade, smuggling, human trafficking are such big thriving businesses in Guyana
looks like the money is going in the wrong pockets in GT
I'm looking at your video to see these "Tauts" that are manhandling women and I didn't see any. I have been to Guyana many times and have not seen these "Tauts" manhandling women. My point is, i'm sure you have them, but from your commentary , one would think that its more the rule as opposed to something that occurs once in a while. Therefore, more like a fallacy of composition. The reason I point this out was because you said it to the young man in Suriname as a matter of fact., as opposed to saying that it sometimes occurs in Guyana.
It seems like Suriname is slowly copying their old mother's land, the Netherlands with their busses schedules....perhaps Guyana should work more with the Brits but dont copy their neoliberal economic nonsese (leave private sector alone because they know it better)...
Neo-liberal economic nonsense, yet what has socialism done for Guyana except turn it into the mess it currently is?
@@shauncameron8390 Guyana never had a socialist government.
@@Mateus-ib2sf
Yes it did. In the 70's and 80's.
This manager is bad in his explaining. The goverment doesnt maintain the buses they just pay them through contracts and the dont put head rest for the passengers the owner does that
The population density of Suriname is 3 people per square per square mile, while, in Guyana it is 115 people per square mile. The comparison has to take this into account.
Ninety percent of the inhabitants live on the narrow coastal plain in Guyana, where population density is more than 115 inhabitants per square kilometre (300/sq mi) and its the same for Suriname in the densest regions. The population density for Guyana as a whole is very low at less than four inhabitants per square kilometre (10.4/sq mi) while for Suriname is 3 people per square per square mile as a whole so please fact check.
Suriname seems less populated and the racial makeup is different than Guyana also.
The racial makeup isn't that different, and Suriname is less populated true but somehow has a GDP that is much much higher
My country
One of the reason that the police station looks so bad, is that since the Revolution in the early eighties there has always been some kind of feud going on between the Armed Forces and the police. The old military leaders have the power now therefore the construction of the new headquarters of the police was stopped.
You got it wrong dude; the police station you are talking about is in Georgetown Guyana.
Watch the movie again: this is about the police station in Parbo.
The Par'bo police station is housed in a carillion@ Vaillantplein Paramaribo; see 1:32
Then it is compared with the Brickdam police station in Georgetown Guyana; see 1:37
is remmy single?
I wish Jamaica was this peaceful. Lol. But on the other hand it looks boring. I would more visit Guyana lol
@Jumping Dumpling TV
It may seem very peaceful but believe me, the nightlife in Suriname is very vibrant and certainly not diffrent from the rest of the Caribbean.
No gbti in suriname
Real or whatever u call ur self I would say instead of degrading Guyana.U could go about in Guyana with a group and stimulate the citizen about their attitude. U claim there no bins Main street has a few in the.I suggest that cleanliness of ones surrounding s should be emphasize in schools. So Real change that attitude and start to schools l.THNK I.!!!!!!!??
Because too many Jamaicans in Guyana
Ppl not all over Guyana nasty 🤦🙄 really really come on man 🙄
Listen what s ur name ur doing ur job and saying it as it is.But I find u very very negative about Guy.There was a time when Regent and main street was a mes.They Government is working on keeping the place clean. I am a Guy. Living in Surname. I totally dislike the way u are misrepresented and disgrace ing my country. Give me a break no where is perfect and Guy.is building itself the people themselves must change their behavior and u stop degrading my country.
he is not degrading guyana,but forcing a change fo better guyana.surinam was the same in the 80s and the 90s
That’s the problem in Guyana. Uncivilized and racist. A positive comment is seen as an attack . For the poorest country in South America there is no hope !
This place nasty come on man 🙄 (20:00)👀 an (20:35) come on now 👀🙄
And suriname money is lower than guyana crazy
The srd is higher.The rate is 30 gyd. To 1 srd.
Suriname's money is higher

If you have 20.000 srd in guyana. ..you a lil rich man😉
The women in Guyana are prettier though.
