Описание: Drone video of Suriname here:    • Paramaribo, Suriname (+Brownsberg) 4K HDR ...  

Suriname was not at all what I expected. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it was different that what Suriname presented me. And I'm glad! What an amazing adventure, meeting cool new people, trying new things, and exploring a culture I knew absolutely nothing about.

Welcome to the newest adventure! 🇸🇷 In this vlog, The TMax travels from Guyana to the rarely-visited country of Suriname, exploring its capital Paramaribo and diving deep into the multicultural heart of South America.

From practicing my Mandarin at the abundant Chinese stores to learning the local language Sranan Tongo (including the common greeting "Fawaka"!), Paramaribo is a true cultural melting pot.

Join me as I:
🇸🇷Hike Brownsberg Hill to a jungle waterfall and discover the unique flora and fauna of the Amazon rainforest [10:22].
🇸🇷Explore the historic Fort New Amsterdam and learn about the Maroon people and Chinese immigrants [05:06].
🇸🇷Try the local Surinamese Indian food with an international crew [02:15].
🇸🇷Challenge my liver by trying a notorious local rum that is 90% alcohol! 🥃 [18:09].
🇸🇷Experience the vibrant music and culture of Maroon Day celebrations [20:48].
