And they are always so nice, they always stop to ask if you need help with anything. It amazed me how well you can speak the language. Sending my love ❤

    One of the cleanest explanation of my country ever.
    And old year is the best of the year after that is pagwa.
    But this must be an video of 2011 to 2014..cuz we have iphone11 and all that..We dresses different now..also we the first that has the 5G network in the Caribbean.
    The infrastructure of the city especially has been much much better. .but the corruption has gone bad..

    16:43 Ik wil jullie ontmoedigen? Oops, you meant "bemoedigen", ontmoedigen has exactly the opposite meaning. Bemoedigen is to encourage, ontmoedigen is to discourage. There are some more words containing courage, and it is not always clear what they mean anymore. Try verootmoedigen, you could best ask a retired Dutch minister or priest. Ootmoed could be an ancient Dutch word for awe. Talking of awe, I think this an awesome video. Thank you very much.
