Bro, those canals were constructed by the Dutch for drainage purposes. Georgetown is about six feet below sea level at high tide. All along the coastal region was swamp land, which the Dutch, and their famed engineering skills, managed to push the water back. For example, that sea wall that you see when you were interacting with the accessories vendor, is where the Atlantic Ocean was kept at bay. Without that wall, the city would be inundated, which happens frequently due to global warning today. A higher wall is definitely needed. Guyana is 83,000 square miles. Jamaica is 4,400 square miles. As you go south, the elevation rises. The airport, for example, is about 100 feet above sea level. The real beauty of Guyana is its hinterland. That’s where the landscape changes from mountains, plains, jungle, hills, rivers, streams, lakes, etcetera. Guyana is that little engine that could: but hasn’t thus far!
Spot on my friend. Once I saw canals everywhere I knew the city had to be under sea level... Amsterdam is also undersea level and is protected via levees. I wonder why the Dutch even bothered building upon swamp instead of building on hardened soil. Maybe they saw controlling the mouth of the Demerara River as important? Or maybe it was cultural and they just couldn't help it.
@@KeenanLambert198 You’re correct with respect to Amsterdam and the notoriety of Dutch civil engineering. The Demerara river isn’t the problem. The Atlantic Ocean is. Actually, that area of Kingstown where you were bantering with the vendor, the currents there are extremely strong. That’s the confluence of both ocean and river. Remember that seventy percent of the population reside on that tiny strip of coastland which happens to be swamp. The Dutch did that to set up their administrative base and slave trading outposts. They didn’t want to take the jungle, so to speak. A fifteen minute plane ride out of the city and you are in a jungle where most of the Amerindian (indigenous) reside.
@@Delitewon I meant controlling the mouth of the Demerara River in the security/military and trading sense.... Instead of building on the swampland, maybe the main settlement could have been laid out slightly up river south of Harbor Bridge. Maybe not as convenient, I guess navigating the strong currents of the Demerara would have been somewhat difficult pre-steamship for traders.
, the Dutch wanted to plant sugar cane, cotton, coffee etc. They also wanted to make sugar. Coastal Guyana is where fertile lands are. About a million African slaves toil to carve Guyana out of the Atlantic Ocean. Where you are standing is the Atlantic Ocean.
@@KeenanLambert198 , Guyana has a siltation problem. All the mud from the Amazon River in Brazil has destroyed Guyana's coastline. This mud even gets into the artificial drainage system and blocks the drains causing flooding. Guyana is not even a real place. It's an artificial country. And with climate change, Guyana will not exist very soon. Every summer Guyana is underwater from the May/June rainy season.
Blessings to you fam! I hope all is well over in Holland right now. I wanted to book that Cape Verde trip... There was a special round trip price from Boston for $440 with a day stopover in Lisbon. I let it go and I'm upset with myself hahaha. How was it? Did you enjoy?
@@KeenanLambert198 Yes, it was my first time in Africa full stop. It felt kind of surreal landing in Banjul, Gambia and seeing the African continent for the first ever time. No one in my family has seen west Africa since at least 1807. But Gambia was just a stop over to Sal, Cape Verde. Nice place and to be honest apart from Tobago and Aruba, the best beaches I have ever seen. The beaches on Sal island were just long, wide, blinding white and EMPTY beside a turquoise coloured sea. The people themselves would not look out of place from Caribbean people. The whole place has a Caribbean feel to it, which I must say I did not expect. For us, who live in Europe (of Caribbean descent) , going to Cape Verde is becoming an alternative to the actual Caribbean for say just a vacation/holiday. I met a lot of UK people with links to Jamaica, T&T and Montserrat in Cape Verde. A holiday in Cape Verde is about 2/3 of the flight time to the Caribbean and about 50-60% cheaper than say a 10 day stay in the Caribbean - given variables of course. If you like fish, you cannot go wrong in Cape Verde. The next time I want an eating/resting holiday in the winter months, I will pick Cape Verde again.
@@haatpraat2993 I encountered Cape Verdeans for the first time in the late 1980s when I attended University of Massachusetts. A lot of them reside in Boston and it’s environs. They are very beautiful people.
@@Delitewon Almost all of them are descendants of Portuguese rape victims. Their history is perhaps even sadder than the histories of most Caribbean islands. The Portuguese committed centuries of crimes against Humanity against the Cape Verdeans. The local people only managed to kick out the Portuguese in 1975.
We have street food here in Palm Springs (SoCal) but they don’t dress them up as good as what you got. Another outstanding enjoyable show! I sure wish my wife and I were more adventurous and could visit Guiana. The people struck me as down to earth and welcoming. Thanks brother! 🌞🙏🌴
Blessings my brother… Part of my motivation on going was to re-introduce Guyana to people of the Guyanese diaspora that don’t get a chance to go back often as per the distance and perceived high cost to return….. I only paid 400 round trip out of New York. The prices to Guyana have dipped due to competition…. Guyana is moving up up…. Salute!!✊🏾
@@KeenanLambert198 Hehehe chuckles....U have it man. Real talk me bro. I am blessed to have found your channel and it gives me great pride to know that the alpha man is of Jamaican decent. The Most High blessings to u always me bro. Ur channel is a breath of fresh air and gives a great soothe to those of us who would like to see places, but cannot at the moment. Is always a joy man.
Thanks for the video Keenan, please goto French Guyana to make a comparison of the 2 countries, those of us familiar with Guyana have been wondering for years 🙂
@@VishnuRamdin-xe7yd yes sir!! produced in both Barbados and Guyana…. The stuff that’s exported to the NY Metro market often comes from the Bajan brewery.
NYC frankfurters (sauerkraut/brown mustard) are German inspired trash. Chicago dogs are definitely more flavorful + more for your money. I say this as a NYer who has spent a considerable amount of years in Chicago. I know I’d get knocked over my noggin if I ever said this on 34th st.
Dress up a hot dog?! Man, I live in Chicago and am a native Detroiter! Both places know how to dress up a dog. You already mentioned Chicago style. In Detroit, it's Lafayette Coney Island and American Coney Island, both in downtown Detroit.
@@KeenanLambert198 Well, brutha, besides coneys, you gotta try Buddy's Pizza, home of Detroit-style pizza. The original Buddy's is at 6 Mile and Conant in Detroit. Great place to eat and drink after a Tigers baseball game.
@@WaltANelsonPHD EL Salvador, a lot of Cuba and Panama... Argentina vids will start rolling in a few days! Come on by the channel and stop playing around!
The trenches used to be cleaned regularly years ago when I lived in Guyana. Now there is trash everywhere in the city and the waterways and drainage systems are completely neglected and dirty.
@@KeenanLambert198 I feel it’s especially bad in Georgetown for political reasons, don’t want to get into anything but that’s my opinion. Thank you for the videos, I just visited Guyana this year and all the good changes started in 2017 are gone. Hopefully things will change again and make Georgetown the garden city again instead of the garbage city. Great videos.

If you goin to blog about Guyana in Guyana you should atleast used Local song. FORREAL FORREAL! I find it abnormal!!
@@daggerin4life726 check the new RUclips Music library and let me know which local song was available.
I'm thinking of buying a house there a summer house
The paradox is the Venezuelans are not escaping a war, but they are escaping their one government basically.
A sad reality.....

Great content Keenan, seeing your view on travel is truly refreshing!
Thank you so much for your support! Keep it locked family 💪🏾🙏🏾✊🏾
Another nice video. Makes me feel like I should look into a Surinam/Guyana trip next year. A few months ago I was in Cape Verde, west Africa.

That hot dog looked straight out of some Bushwick/Williamsburg brick and mortar upscale restaurant. Looks mad appetizing. 😮😮😅
So much action on it! I just wish she had made it a little more.... Well done..
Banks beer is popular in Barbados too.l think Peter deguar opened a brewery there.
@@VishnuRamdin-xe7yd yes sir!! produced in both Barbados and Guyana…. The stuff that’s exported to the NY Metro market often comes from the Bajan brewery.
Lovely. I love your editing
Connect with me on IG in my bio
Thanks Clint! Keep producing videos on your side…. You’re almost there!
The boy got that international rizz. 😂😂
What was that song at 8:59? That was a rocking track.

Thanks for watching Don! Much love brother!
Bro when are you going to Africa?
When they lower the price of the flight! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Breakfast in the Ozarks: pancakes, bacon and coffee.
Walt Nelson! Brother where the heck have you been.
@@KeenanLambert198 Very busy. Come to think of it, I have not seen your videos of late. Where r have you traveled recently?

@@KeenanLambert198 I feel you, Bro. No blocking intended.
I was being 100 percent literal though about the dudes fishing in that nasty drainage ditch.
@@puirYorick oh yeah!!!! That was one of the wildest things I’ve ever seen! Crazzyyyy
Polygny must be common out there the way she express herself. I see Islam big out there as well.
It’s hard to gauge just how much they were joking….. I have to examine this further
Trust me. Guyana is not Africa. Polygamy is not popular there.

That frank has too much going on. In NYC we want to eat on the go not be forced to sit and eat. Too much going on with that frank.
LMao you have to try it at least once
Hope you got the money for two wife’s .
Looks wack

Bloodclaaaat SHREK! Always talking too much!
You love me a lot…. Just admit the man crush and move on
@@KeenanLambert198 Love for you to back to Guyana so I can say HI! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is not true. Don't spread false information and give the wrong impression.
What is not true?
Thats not our culture 😂
LMAOOO
Indian girls should marry black Guyana boys too!
In Guyanese communities in the states and Canada it’s happening for sure.
NOOOOOO! We love black Guyanese women
Why?
That big woman looked like she wanted you dude.
My dad said the same thing 😭🤣
@@KeenanLambert198 Yeah she was definitely smiling about some MEAT 🤣
