Thanks for not taking my rant the wrong way. I understand the situation of being born here, as my situation wasn't ideal in the USA, so I used my passport to help met get to a more wild west economy in Cambodia, where I was able to use my multiple skillsets to thrive.

I can't imagine being from here, but I I can imagine I would've left as soon as I turned 18, had a passport, a one-way ticket to elsewhere, $500 and a dream. I just feel that in Asia, you can get by with meekness and honesty much better than you can here.

"Ego is the most dangerous drug in the Caribbean" as I say, but Suriname certainly isn't as bad as Jamaica where egos are concerned. I think the biggest problems here are sympathy and empathy, and that is something very important to me when choosing a country to reside in.

And to imagine we are trying to leave here to go the USA, a place with all the same problems, but like you we will have a bit of a support network there, and for me I only intend to stay there long enough to give the family passports so we can transit airports without hassle.
