Wow,THE VIDIO HAD NO SOUND BUT THE SCENERIES OF BRITISH GUIANA WAS SO BEAUTIFUL LONG BEFORE I WAS BORNED.
my dad was born in Bel Air in 1935 of indian origin, he would have been 13 when this was shot. Very cool stuff :)
@Black Sparrow Bel Air, Georgetown Guyana!
I'm Guyanese. I can recognise a lot of these places, not much has changed.
Thanks for that view of british guiana
Beautiful Guyana!!
you're right, not much has changed. The morals and values that our people carried along the years made us some of the most magical people to walk this earth. Today I see Guyanese fighting each other over power when we have always been blessed and powerful in just having each other. In having love. One people. one nation. one destiny. It breaks my heart.
Should explain the name of the place
Asome😅
