Where am I?

For this is surely not South America.
It took forever and 3 days to get here, busses, jeeps, hitchhiking, angry bitch-ass Guyanese imigration officials, a bunch of boats, and a few beers. Passed through Guyana for 5 days, think Africa-India in the Carribean, but speaking Creolese, which is close enough to English, and incredible Indian Food everywhere! My Guyanese surrogate family cooked me the best curry dinner I've had in ages.
Now, I've made it to Paramaribo, Suriname. Think Guyana, but heavily Indonesian and Javanese, just as expensive ($$$$), better food perhaps, speaks dutch, and everyone drives mercedes' and nice cars. And now, there are some white people, because of the influx of Dutch tourists who want to go to "South America" while still speaking dutch. Go figure. I hadn't met anybody else who had ever been to Suriname. This has been a personal goal of mine for a while. And now I'm here and well... I wouldn't say under-enthused... but where is my marching band?
So I'm feeling better, it rains every hour on the hour, but only for 10 minutes. Crazy place. But nice. But expensive. So I'm a thinking about going on a little adventure. More on that another time. ha. Oh, and although these computers are muito slow, I've uploaded some more pics into the Colombia (a ton), Venezuela (New Years) and Guyana/Suriname folders.
