Just, getting to Suriname was quite an adventure, but I will tell you about that later. Right now, I have to tell you about our adventure last night. First you have to realize that we basically do not know where we are in the city. A taxi brought us to this house and I have driving directions to the school, which is about 7 minutes away along one street. If we get off of that one road, we have no idea how to get back home. Just stop and ask someone you might think. Let me explain the problem with that. This is a very ethically diverse country. Everyone here seems to speak Dutch, which of course we don't. Then everyone has a second language which is either French, Hindu, Chinese, Papiamento, Arabic, and I could go on and on, and we don't speak any of them. Very few speak Spanish. OK, many of them speak English but there is another problem. The names of the streets are unpronounceable, at least by us...
