Our mother country will always be the best cuz that is the place that we took the first breath of our life as a baby. Although I am a Canadian my heart is still in Guyana. I grow up there.
You are a part of the Guyana family Sir. 6 heads is better than 2 . Dirvisty is our Strength . Guyana is a bueatyful Bookay , with different colors As of 2021 there are more then six races in Guyana
Brian James you are absolutely correct sir. Guyana does not belong only to the "Indians" or to the "Africans" it belongs to anyone who contributes to the nation in a positive way whether that be employment, business, education, etc...
In the 70s many Chinese and Portuguese who were mostly in the middle and business class, left Guyana for Canada and US. Yes, i know Afro and Indo also left for foreign shores. The impact, however, was felt much more in the Chinese and Portuguese community, because they were a small minority to begin with. It's really a shame and an ethnic cleansing of sorts. This is the sad legacy of Burnham and the PNC.
@Mario Z Marxism is an Economic Model and Communism is a Political Model. Not the same thing. You need to get an education. Jagan was a Marxist. You need to read up what Marxism is about and the value of labor...😏
1:19 She lists the things she likes about Guyana:- Weather is nice- People are simpler (in a nice way)- Lots of business opportunities in a less developed country 1:59 The husband says:- We had the opportunity to come some we gave it a shot and it turned out to be better than I could have imagined back in China and I ended up liking Guyana quite a bit- Saw that there was a lot of room to develop particularly in the dining scene 2:49The wife says:- I stayed because the country's people were kinder and simpler/purer than back home- When started as a small restaurant, and found joy in making food for people and we felt welcome by the Guyanese people. In 1996 we decided to grow the business. It was just the two of us running the business. 4:12The husband says:- We get along with the local people quite well. Local people make up more than 100 of our staff. Many of them have worked with us for over 10 years. We really get along well and have done so for so long and in spite of the language barrier. Many of them have risen up the ranks as well. 5:25The wife says:- She didn't learn English well enough but thinks it has to be the number 1 priority for others who want to succeed.- When she first arrived there were only two people working in the kitchen, she had literally no time to do anything else but cook. The husband:- Language should be the number 1 priority- Have to understand the local people's feelings/emotions and identify with them. Language is key. If you can integrate with the local people and speak with them it much more convenient and easier to get a long. 6:59- We are looking to open a hotel- Guyanese hotels have their own special charm but we think there is room for improvement in the area of food and beverage. So we can help raise the standard for guests. - We first did fast food and we will also make western food 7:46- Guyana's development has accelerated in the past few years- We are grassroots small business owners focused on food and the hotel industry
I loved thos series! However I was extremely interested in what the owner of New Thriving had to say since she has lived in GT for 20 years. Is there any transcript?
These are hard working, smart , successful people who are now Guyanese citizens. That's why it's even more disappointing that they didn't take the time to at least learn the Language of their new home. Great series though.
you sound racist , Did you forget to mention the fake Reader man, The ones that promise to bring riches to your life if you PAY him to take away SPIRITS...
There has to be a requirement for some sort of fluency in English for Guyanese Citizenship. I mean, most of their customers are Guyanese, and they have been there for 20 Years, and they don't speak English. They owe their success to Guyana, because they couldn't do it in China, the least they can do is learn the darn English!!!
I agree with you none of us has the right to say that go back where you come from.
My brother in law family had one of the first Chinese restaurant 🍗 on Albert town called K.Y Chow Chinese restaurant 🍗😁😁

We don't want America in our country.
Does anyone know if parts 5 and 6 are available on youtube? This does not sound like Mandarin. Is it not Cantonese the main interviewees are speaking?
They are speaking Cantonese in this video

Thanks for posting this up, Juanita!

I admire these people going to a strange country and taking the risk of opening a new business. Most probably their life savings invested in Guyana.

I've translated in my response to the comment above.

this is the type of People we want in Guyana, not people who come and lime all day and beet drums in the street or look to thief. We love the chinese.

It's the Chinese govt you need to worry about.
