So a week has come and gone and I love Suriname!! Uitkijk is an interesting place with its own tempo. Things are just slower here. People move slower, talk slower, and live slower. I love it here!. My apartment is nice. I will hopefully remember my camera next week to upload some photos. My house is hot, bug loaded and just beautiful. We have A-C in our room which has saved me. I actually get cold at night. But Uitkijk is a little farmish town in the middle of the country. We have a store and a chineese resturant and that is about it. There is not much out here. But its pretty easy to catch a bus here and get to the city. The only thing is that the buses don't have schedules. When the bus is full they leave. So who knows how long you will be waiting. But I love it. My dutch is coming. Everyday I can say more and more, and understand more and more. I have been speaking 100% dutch with Elder Fernandes which has been amazing. I have also been trying to learn Saranantongo (street Creole). It is going to be a little bit harder than expected, but the kids have been an amazing help. I loved watching conference. It was a treat!!! I absolutely love it here. I haven't had anything too to eat strange yet. The most lekker thing has been Roti!!! It is curry, meat. beans and a whole bunch of other sutff that i dont know. And you pick it up with the Roti bread which is kinda like pita bread or naan!! It is so so so so so good!! I love it. I was hoping to lose weight so hopefully that happens!
My zone is the beans knees!!
