#Suriname is up and "sure-I-am" about it. Yes "Sir-I-am" Okay done. ANYWAY Welcome to the most unusal country in the Americas, where rum goes up to 90% and toads give birth through their backs. Also THANK YOU to all the Surinamese geograpeeps that either helped or were featured in this video! Really wish I could've visited you guys in person, maybe in the future! Stay cool!
cant wait to watch this one lol

Indonesian here, the first time I learned about Suriname and found out that there are many Javanese and Indonesian descendants there, it was really mindblowing, and yes, my initial response was "whoa how did that even happen?". Our country has many similarities being a multicultural nation, even our national motto is the same, "unity in diversity" (for us it's "bhinneka tunggal ika", originated from the Sanskrit language)
Even for us indian
Unity in diversity (in sanskrit) is motto
Suriname's actual motto is Justitia, Pietas, Fides.
Love from suriname
Even our motto is same.. Here call it "Anekta me Ikta".. Which means the same..
Sanskrit is mother of all language ❤

Surinamese people also have a huge influence on Dutch culture, they deserve more recognition!!
they have a quite strong recognition here in the Netherlands.
quite often when there are problems with in Suriname. Dutch people will quite often try to help them where they can. (in this case I mainly mean the Dutch people that are not of Suriname decent them selves).
That’s so true
Their food is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! And you can get it everywhere here in the Netherlands. I just had a Saoto soup yesterday.
FAWAKAAAAAAAAA
All former dutch colonies, Indonesia, Suriname and South Africa are just amazing. And obviously the Netherlands
I'm a Cameroonian 🇨🇲 and it's my first time to hear about Suriname Hoping to make new friends from Suriname ❤
As a young boy I read a book written by an Scottish zoologist named Sanderson who visited Suriname. He spoke about Paramaribo and went deep into the forests. It seemed so magical. I have always wanted to go to Suriname since then.
I am from the Netherlands and I learned more about Suriname in this video than in my entire Dutch education, thank you for making this episode, it is awesome! :)
I am curious, do you get to meet many people of a Suriname background in NL?
@@mercyndirangu8903 they are literally present in all major Dutch cities like Amsterdam, the Hague and Rotterdam. There are a lot of Surinamese restaurants and Surinamese people have a noticable influence in Dutch media.
@@mercyndirangu8903 I am from the country side, so I don't meet many people in general, but in our cities Surinamers contribute a significant part to Dutch society, so I do think the Dutch education system should teach more about Suriname culture than I was taught back in my day.
Javanen en molukkers In Nederland Komen uit Indonesie...
@@efrans2627 En een deel uit Suriname. En ze voelen zich meer Surinamer dan Indonesiër. Er zijn zo'n 21,000 Javanen van Suriname in Nederland.
as a Dutch person, I'm both shocked and ashamed how little I do know about Suriname as a country. All these Dutch names (Zorg en Hoop International, which literally translates to Care and Hope International, which I found to be quite wholesome) both are funny to me, but at the same time also make me, yet again, more aware of our past (and present) colonial influence as a colonial power. This video has inspired me to learn more about Suriname, and I hope to someday visit the country and learn more about the Suriname cultures and peoples! Great video, thank you. :)

Loved this episode. My parents are Javan Surinamese and they moved to the Netherlands in the 80s where I was born. I moved to Scotland and married a Scottish girl. Our kids are Dutch/Scottish/Javan Surinamese.
Love when you do these videos about countries ppl don’t know much about. I’m from Guyana but learned some new stuff about Surinam.
Why do guyanese people call us Surinamese people Dutch?
@@apeman9238 idk cause they speak dutch🤷🏽♂️
Suriname, one of the most horribly underrated country in the Western Hemisphere. Them alongside Guyana, the most underrated English speaking country in the world.
Like NOBODY EVER TALKS ABOUT THEM!
Yea :( I love em
Thats because it is not important
Well, us Indonesian sometimes talk about Javanese Surinames people
nothing happens there anyways
The only thing I really knew from Suriname was that Seedorf is from there. I love these episodes focusing on small countries because I learn so much stuff that is so difficult to find because they're never mentioned in the media, books, movies etc.
Suriname!

As Indonesian, I'm really interested to visit Suriname one day. I want to see how how they preserve javanese culture.
I am an Indonesian i born in East Java, and I have heard that in Suriname there are many Javanese people, I have heard stories when Dutch colonialism sent many ethnic Javanese to Suriname to work as farmers, and when the Dutch wanted to repatriate ethnic Javanese, most of them Javanese people live in Suriname, if you don't believe me, just search CZcams for Surinamese people who speak Javanese, even though the Javanese there are only a minority
Barbs trying to smuggle himself in a country now, that is commitment
Worth it for that 90% alcohol liquor.
How many people now want to go to Suriname after watching this episode? I now want to. Love from the United States of America.🇺🇸❤️🇸🇷
Love from Suriname🇸🇷❤🇺🇸.
Agreed 😁
@Suriname Countryball Thanks! It's sounds amazing 👌
I'm from suriname and I'm in the us for vacation, and suriname is definitely not as technically advanced as your country lol
In the states in NYC there is Suriname Day you can eat shaved ice and other thinks there
'boom' is the Dutch word for 'tree' and 'jachtlust' means something like 'being in the spirit to hunt' 3:36
There is so much more amazing food from the Suriname. It may be my favourite cuisine. It's like the best food from India, China, Indonesia, West Africa mixed together (+ Dutch, Native Amerindian, Middle Eastern, Jewish). It's just amazing.
Aren't Jewish folks Middle Eastern 🤨 ?
@@quidam_surprise Well yes and no. (A lot of Jewish people come from Europe, Russia and Africa too.) But with Middle Eastern I meant more Levatine which is Syria/Lebanon.

It is really a relaxed place to visit.
We do take our eating food very serious over here... LOL!
Lol i live here and the food is to die for lol also on a strict diet lol! Damn you good food damn you! Lol
Hello! Which are the best places to visit in Surinam? Which do you recommend?
This is a very nice compliment. Thank you so much
I have been there once and I totally agree!
I'm actually really impressed on how much information you popped in one small video and very accurate I might say. 🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷
I love explaining to people where I'm from. I call myself a world citizen. It's not that I've traveled all around the world. But I am a Surinamese citizen, of Indonesian descent, speaking Dutch and English and Javanese and Sranang Tongo and know words in Indian and Hindi and Chinese and Portuguese and Spanish. We're Caribbean because of our membership in Caricom. We're Latinos because we're located in South America (OK this is a stretch, but I jokingly include it 😁😉). I love our culture and diversity. Suriname, mijn thuis 💚
No you are not Latin.
To be Latin you have to speak Spanish and have Spanish culture influence like people in Venezuela.
Suriname, Guyana and FR Guiana are not Latin or Latin American, as well as half of the Caribbean islands and Belize.
Thank you for that explanation. You are correct. But as I said, I jokingly include it. I just like talking about our diversity and history. We’re all part if each other’s world in some way, right?
@@Riveliniow1 sranan tongo is mostly a Dutch and English creole.
Stop your foolishness.
Learn to look up and do basic research.
There will be a few words from other languages in most Language....its called human interaction.
If you come from a Latin country and one your ancestors were Spanish only then are you considered Latin.
@@Riveliniow1 You are all over the internet with the stupid wrong info🤣🤣.
Time to get off the video games
@@zochbuppet448 You stop your foolishness too because Spanish isn't the only language that defines being "Latino", technically Romanians are just as much Latino since they're a Latin speaking country. You do your research too...
I am Dutch and have no Surinamese ancestry. But I anticipated this episode even more than the one about the Netherlands. I love Suriname so much. I visited SU in 2017 and I hope to go there once I have the money and the global health situation allows me to. Best Wishes to all Surinamese people! Love you guys.
I think you have Indonesian Anchestor?

@@nicoaguswibiantoro5489 Alas, no. My ancestry seems to be exclusively made out of poor landless peasants from the province of Brabant, from the middle ages until the 20th century. I am as blend as they come... ;-)

@@nicoaguswibiantoro5489 That's awesome..... Connie is mijn naam. (Connie is my name) But now you mentioned it, I love to have an exotic name like this. I'm going to keep it.
Suriname is definitely forgotten in South America. I have often mentioned Suriname when speaking with friends in Argentina, and most of them had not heard of it. The three Guyanas are a bit more known to South Americans, but still.
Have they not looked at a map?
@@ibj3 Hmm. Could I ask you if you started a conversation in Dutch?
@@ibj3 I think they those Emmen guys got confused because of the international setting you met them in. I'd reckon every Dutch person knows Suriname, although many might not realize it's on the continent of South America and bordering Brazil.
That's because people don't educate themselves about other countries. I have many friends from S America, and I was shocked to see that many don't know that Sur is part of the continent! I think, if you live in a continent, you should at least know ALL the countries in that continent!!
@@martijn9568 Start a conversation in Dutch with someone who doesn't speak Dutch? Is that what you are asking?
That wouldn't make sense right?
Thank you for doing a video on our country and doing so much research to explain. It is very appreciated.

Jawa
only for Javanese descent
@@kotarojujo2737 Nope, not only for Javanese descent. I'm Chinese Indonesian and can easily relate to our Chinese Surinamese brothers and sisters. If I see someone with the surname Tjioe, I can guess they're Chinese Indonesian or Chinese Surinamese. Chinese from English speaking countries would spell the same surname as Chew or Chiu. And amongst Chinese Indonesians and Chinese Surinamese, many are Hakka. So through our shared origins and experiences in former Dutch colonies, we can easily relate on both a superficial and deeper level too.
There are also Indian descent in both countries. In Indonesia, many of the Indian descent are Sindhi and Punjabi in Java, and Tamil in Sumatra. I'm not sure where in India the Indo-Surinamese originated, but I'm sure the two can relate to some extent for the same reasons as the Chinese and Javanese descents in both countries.
Crazy how these ancestral lines work and how people were transported to different continents. I'm South African and most of the mixed and Asian people from the Western Cape(Cape Town) part of the country are descended from Sumatra and the Java islands in Indonesia, as well as Malaysia, The Philippines and India. Only a few of Indonesian descent can speak Basha fluently. Both my parents are mixed with Javanese and African ancestry, but my mom has Indian ancestry as well. But the weirdest thing for me, my last name is actually Filipino and don't have a clue where that came from😁😁😁
@@kotarojujo2737Indonesia used to be called Netherlands Indie in the old days. It was also a dutch colony like Suriname. That makes us brothers.
Thank you so much for promoting Suriname
really helpful
My dad fled to the Netherlands during the Brunswijk Bouterse conflict so I am half Dutch and half Surinamese. It's such a beautiful and friendly culture and I am proud to be Surinamese!
What was the Brunsjwik Bouterse conflicto buddy. Thanks for telling me.
are you by any chance had Chinese Indonesian ancestry lineage? because your name is typical Chinese Indonesian name that can be found mainly in the Indonesian island of Java, but nowadays we spelt _A Foeng_ as _Afung_ in standardized Chinese Indonesian. We even got a dish called _Bakso Afung_ (the meatballs of Afung family), originally developed from Java as well.
Amazing Episode Barbs! Suriname is truly a country of mystery and wonder, I hope to have the opportunity to visit one day. Much love from your South American Brother, Colombia🇨🇴🇸🇷❤️

This is by far the best episode I have ever watched. I love this one and I love Suriname.
It's really awesome how this country brings people together, and how this channel brings people together! Just in the comments here I've seen Indians, Indonesians, West Indians, Brazilians, Dutch, and people from Surinam itself all sending love to each other. This channel really is something special to be able to facilitate those conversations. And this country is something special too for all these people to be able to hold on to their culture while at the same time uniting together (we Americans have a lot to learn from them). Even me, as a Jewish person, now feel connected to the place cause even some of us wound up there!

Hellooo I'm Cuban and I live in Suriname. Excellent video!! Very good research that you did. This is really a very calm country, without violence, with a great culture and the people are kind. We Latinos find it hard to speak Dutch, but Taki Taki (sranan tongo) is a bit easier. Now the economy is a bit difficult but hope to get ahead is not lost. Very happy and grateful to live in this beautiful country.
Hello I am Surinamese. We are very happy that you can be part of our country. If I may give you some advice about the language. Speak Dutch as much as possible. Don't worry if it's broken Dutch. You will be accepted faster by the Surinamese including me. Don't rely too much on Sranan tongo. Like you said yourself: you came from the Latino Americano speaking world. Suriname is part of the Dutchphone speaking world. 🇸🇷
Dutchophone/anglophone/germanic mindset. No Latino americano mindset☝️
Once again, welcome to Suriname🇸🇷
How does it compare to Guyana, lifestyle wise?
I heard about the recent protests. Hope you are safe.
I know Suriname thanks to Netflix's K-drama "Narco-Saint" and got me interested in this country. Love from Vietnam 🇻🇳❤️🇸🇷
I am a Surinamese living in The Netherlands and learned new things! Thank you so much for this wonderful video.✨
Next Episode: Sweden. I've been waiting for this next fricking episode for YEARS. Also keep up the good work, I always learn something new watching these videos and its also an example of content that doesn't get old. I watch these episodes over and over.

I am never going to forget about Suriname as it was the most long awaited video.🇮🇳❤️🇸🇷
I was looking forward to this episode. I'm Brazilian and even though we are neighbours (well, I live in southern Brazil but still it counts), Suriname has always been a mystery to me.
Lots of Brazilians also present in Suriname esspecialy gold mining
Pra todos nós né. A grande maioria dos sul-americanos provável nunca nem conheceu alguém de lá (nem da Guiana) kk
Many brazil person in Suriname bro
A única coisa que eu sabia do Suriname é que teve aquele episódio do suicídio em massa no final dos anos 70, que na verdade foi na Guiana...
I really love the fun format of GN videos. You can't ever realize how much you're learning.
Born in Suriname, living in Holland. Amazing video, I watch the whole thing breathless while smiling like an idiot. I was very surprised about the emotions I felt. Ashamed that I know so little about the place where I was born. So very proud that such a small country produced so many world-class athletes (sadly many represent Holland). Very disappointed the kickboxer were left out. For example: Ernesto Hoost, Remy Bonjaski, Tyrone Spong, Melvin Manhoef and many more. Also, how can you not mention Ruud Gullit and Frank Rijkaard? But still an amazing video. Thank you.
Ruud Gullit and Frank Rijkaard were on that list! The only one that I was missing when it comes to sports is Regilio Tuur.

I'm Brazilian and would love to go to Suriname one day. Nice to learn more about them!
There is a neighbourhood in Paramaribo. It is called little Belem. Guess what the people from that neighbourhood are!
So many similarities between us as Afrikaans-speaking South-Africans and Suriname...wish I could visit it someday!
You even both have countries with Savannahs.
Surinamese-Dutch sounds almost like Afrikaans in tones. Surinamese speak with a heavy accent, the Dutch a very high one.
For some reason Suriname seemed so intriguing to me since my early childhood. I also met several guys from there on my trip to Rotterdam in 2009 :)
Most of the info from this video, I knew it already, but it was fun to see the locals speaking and to find out some local musicians (thanks, Keith).
Nations that has been an British+Dutch 'history', as I know is:
i. Suriname
ii. Indonesia
iii. Malaysia
iv. South Africa
v. United States of America
Indonesia wasn't really colonised by the Brits, they just occupied parts of it for a short time during the Napoleonic wars.
And the United States :)
Guyana
Sri Lanka (Dutch Ceylon 1640-1796)
Ghana (Dutch Gold Coast 1637-1874)
Mauritius (Mauritius 1638-1710)
Not colonised: Australia (New Holland), New Zealand (Nieuw Zeeland), Tasmania (Abel Tasman).
No wonder there were not one, not two, not three, but count 'em: FOUR Dutch - English wars. Considering that, we definately have ties to England. Heck, they sort of even made us a kingdom in 1815, so we're more related than you'd think.
Really love to learn things about Suriname!
Although we're far away, but it's like having distant Javanese cousins out there in America. Peace and love from Indonesia ✌❤🇮🇩🇸🇷
I’m from Suriname and this is all absolutely true. love this video, you all did a great job!
I heard since I was a kid that many Javanese people speaking Javanese language at Suriname. But I can’t accessed much information that time in the 90s. And since the youtube era, I searched for Javan-Suriname music, then I found Kasimex houseband, which has many singles in Javanese language.
Salam rahayu nggo sedulur kabeh neng Suriname.
Thank you for the recognition!
Fun fact the guy Ronnie Brunswijk is now the vice-president of Suriname
15:05 i love that ❤️, it doesn’t matter in what u believe, we can all shear a parking lot
I just love this channel its so entertaining yet educational keep it going
In Papiamento/u on the ABC Islands 🇦🇼🇧🇶🇨🇼we call the Surinamese people, "Yiu di Surnam"🇸🇷 wich means "son/daughter/child of Suriname". Greatings from Dutch Caribbean. Nice job not forgetting the SSS islands btw.
Fun fact: Papiamento and Cape Verde creole are intelligible
Many Suriname people in ABC island and US 👍
@@nathatos Yes I know, I've met some Cape Verdeans once and I went "Bon Dia" they were like 👀🙌🏾
@@nathatos

I live in Rotterdam my best friend is from Cape Verdian desent and the other one is from Korsow (Curaçao)
Much love from french caribbean in Martinique !
As a Dutch person I had been waiting for this for a while
I am so glad to have found this video. I am born in Canada and my dad was from Suriname. He died when I was young so I never really got to learn much about the country . I haven’t met another person from there before. Most people I tell about it have never even heard about it. I hope one day I can visit and get in touch with my family roots. It looks like a beautiful place to travel.
Do you still want to travel to Suriname?
I learn more from Barbs and the crew than I ever did in high school. You all rock! An awesome group of humans and positivity!👍
Everytime when i heard suriname is about javanesee diaspora and my parents told me that A lot of javanesee community there, and as A javanesee Indonesia, i really want to go there someday to meet my javanesee community, and i think A lot of javanesee Indonesia knows about Suriname 🇮🇩❤️🇸🇷
Same here eventhough im not a Bihari in ethnicity i'd love to see the Indians and other people of suriname
Hope you can come visit us some day, I think you would love it here. Sending love from one Javanese community to another ❤️🇸🇷
I am Javanese. Love Suriname

The "Eenheid in verscheidenheid" word is the exact same word in Indonesia if we translated unity in diversity into Indonesian language, which is (very obviously) written "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" or "Bersatu Dalam Keberagaman"
Makes sense somehow, doesn't it?
And it's on the coat of arms!
@@PendelSteven Yes, it does...
not your pp being red velvet, fellow geographer and reveluv 😳
@@anotherone. Yep, it's clearly written!
I binged watched most of your vids Barbs! You are a great man
Congrats Gary, many blessings upon you and your family!!!!!!! It is so amazing that a mosque and temple can share a parking lot. That is nothing to just brush over. That is truly an amazing thing. With love from Barbados.
Suriname is a very underrated country!

And every tribe has their own dialect.
Most of the dialects are a mixed of the 2 larges tribes

Saramakaners
Aucaners
Paramakaners
Alukus
Kwintis
Matuariers
This was the best video I've seen about my country in such a long time
Thank you so much, I wish this video was even longer 🤣🤣🤣🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷
Suriname is quite a gem of wonders that can come from people from different parts of the world.
Greetings from Poland!
Everyone that lives in Suriname, apart from the native Craib en Arowak people, is a decendant of someone that came to this country...either willingly or unwillingly.
Not long ago a Polish family came here on their Trimaran they made really great vlogs about Suriname i forgot their channel name tho. Much love from Suriname.
Greeting from suriname
Greetings from Suriname/ Groetjes uit Suriname!! (Surimaribo)
I randomly searched what people had to say about our country and came across this video. AHAHHA the way you pronounce the words is so funny.
Thanks for covering a video about our country.. and you should come! Especially in december. 🇸🇷 you’ve done so much research, all there’s left to do is to visit..
I learned so much about a country I knew nothing about before clicking here. Awesome channel!
