Morememories of my stay inParamaribo:Our nrighbours across the street with their own private zoo. it ncluded a "tapijtslang", the most economical pet I've ever seen.a few dead rats per month and it was content. i remember going into the bush with neighbour boys and coming out welll stung by every mosquito for miles.I remember the wreck of the German freighteer Gotha, which the crew sank in May 1940.I also remember playing in Fort Zeelandia, where Boutrse had his opponents shot many years later I fondly rememberan escaped turtle by the-ide of the road abd a/swimming teacher who was so strong he could lift us kids over his head and throw us in the pool. We loved that!. I retain many fond memories of that land....
Dad warning us not to get any scraped off ice cream("Thypoid on a stick" were his2ords). Andbgoing inland. My sweet sister Esther, having seen too many Tarzan films, trying out a vine to sling from, andcrashing to the ground with twenty yards of vine!

Heheh. There's nothing more fun than telling embarassing anecdotes about siblings. Esther, time to return the favour I think! Knowing Frank you should have a few juicy ones...

naughty, naughty, Zaagje! stop making naughty suggestions. One more thing I picked up over there is a fondness of the local soft drink, Fernandes. Now it turns out you can find it in virtually any supermarket over here. Just a taste and I am back in Suriname. Beautiful country.

Fernandes... Yech. I remember that from when I lived in the Bijlmermeer. I had one sip and all my fillings spontaneously detached themselves.

Tyopes = typoes. (Technically of course it's only one typo. Oh well...)
