... of it, as he had kept my immigration form so had all my details (Peter had not shown his visa yet). Basically we just sat down and refused to leave. After fifteen minutes or so, having consulted with his colleagues, the policeman came back and said that there was a solution: if we hared down to Paramaribo right now and presented ourselves at the Foreign Office's consular department first and then the military police before 2 pm, they ...

... well, and this does NOT necessarily follow class lines. Now I'm studying Dutch, since I like the place and have a five-year visa. This is interesting, since I've never studied a Germanic language (except English) and, except for Frisian, it's the major European language closest to English. The goal is to have a conversation in Dutch before the week is out. Whatever, I'll survive. I can always try Bahasa with the warung people or Mandarin with the ...

... t know how the prices compare. After about 20 minutes after the last people came through from the immigration desk, they started loading the ferry, vehicles and foot passengers along the same road at the same time. A lot of shifting and nudging of vehicles up as close as possible to get the last one on. Then we set off. I guess it took 20 minutes for the actual crossing. The water was muddy. In fact the rivers and seas of Suriname and Guyana are ...

... original plan. Well we didn't want to move without our kids. Turns out that all the kids are moving with us, in addition to kids from four other secondary departments of Primary Schools in the area. We showed up to work on Monday only to be told that we were being sent to the new school at Diamond for orientation. So that's all that we've been doing this week: orientation. Speakers from all different branches of government coming to talk to all the teachers about how ...

... enkeling heeft zonnepanelen. Er is een lagere school en regelmatig vaart er een Korjaal (typisch veerbootje) heen en weer. De mensen oogsten er nog altijd bananen, papaja´s, sinaasappels, cassave en veel andere fruitsoorten. De bewoners stralen rust uit en nemen de tijd voor een praatje met ons. Over baby's en techniek In de stad kochten we een nieuwe buitenboordmotor. De kleinste die er is, van 2 PK. We waren er precies om 8 uur toen de winkel open ging. Voor ons waren twee ...

... Ethiopia. Fast forward to when it came time to applying, me hesitating at the question that asked where in the world I'd like to serve. Having never traveled overseas and being impatient to see the whole world, I couldn't make up my mind. I could have easily left it all to chance by answering "Anywhere," but in that instant Eastern Europe or the South Pacific seemed like an attractive option, so I checked those. Imagine my surprise when a few months later I get a call. "Hello ...

Hi Everyone: The mango's are falling from the trees here in the tropics. It's hard to think that in less than 2 weeks I will be in ice, snow and Christmas festivities. Christmas is just now beginning to appear, but it is certainly not the intense commercial hype of North America. A welcome relief to not see any signs of Christmas until December first. The hotels are decked with Xmas trees and some of the stores, but nothing remotely like at home. Some of the things I've been wanting ...

Good Byes Begin: Brenda left on Friday, and we are all going to miss her. Brenda is one of those idea and action people who combines an amazing ability to get things done and has fun doing it. She is enthusiastic and upbeat and she added a lot of energy to our little CCI group. She and I, being the only 2 participants over 25 worked and hung out a lot together. She became a great support and a great friend. We are 6 on the CCI team here in Suriname. We all have different ...

Hi Everyone: It's hard to know where to begin with this most recent adventure! This past weekend Brenda and I took 5 days and, at the invitation of a young Peace Corp girl, spent 3 days in an isolated village in the south end of Brokopondo Lake and then 2 days in the Brownsberg Nature Reserve. For any of you that want to consult a map of Suriname, we took a bus to Afobako on the north end of the lake and then bargained a boat to the village of Baku, a community of about 200 ...
