The city is filled with abandoned buildings
Dear Editor,
Kaieteur News – On my way to French Guiana, I spent two days in Paramaribo, Suriname. Based on that experience, I would not recommend visiting Suriname. The city is filled with abandoned buildings and has the appearance of a neglected, ancient town. It reminded me of the ruined structures I saw in Iraq after the U.S. military bombings.
I also found the immigration officers to be impatient and downright rude. If you’re traveling to French Guiana, I strongly advise avoiding an overnight stay in Suriname. The country is not tourist-friendly—especially not toward Guyanese visitors.
Regards,
Anthony Pantlitz
