Mixed wedding

Being in a country with a semi-local has its advantages. Tonight I joined Anand at the wedding of his cousin's son. Although Suriname has many different ethnic groups, it is still relatively rare to see mixed marriages. Anand's family, however, has a couple and this wedding followed the tradition. The groom is Hindustani, the bride is Javanese. The mixed heritage of the couple was not only felt in the music (Bollywood and Java pop), but also in the food (roti and nasi). Of course a traditional Indian wedding outfit could not be let out either.

Back in Suriname

I'm back in Suriname again, but only for a week. No doubt our days will be jam-packed with meetings and dashes across town., and our nights short of rest. This time we are staying at the new Courtyard by Marriott hotel, close to the main entertainment area of Paramaribo. It is the second brand name hotel in the country and a good addition to the developing tourism sector.
