We're excited indeed, but of course we miss Cambodia the most. Shame the pandemic made us lose a couple of years from our lives, because had things gone differently, we would now be heading back to Cambodia with American passports in hand. I am excited for Guyana, but still awaiting the interview date.
Should the interview be months from now, we'll have to make a choice to stay here or move to Guyana in advance. I personally would like a change, so I would be happy moving as soon as we have an interview date. However, we just learned the COVID-19 tests here are $100 a piece, the highest I've ever heard anywhere on Earth so far.
Even in Cambodia the COVID test is free, and offering free tests is one of the best ways to control the pandemic. In Guyana the test is free, so luckily we won't have to lose $400 there again. If I was a Surinamer and knew the test was $100, I'd be rioting in the streets.
The stupidity has no end, overpriced testing combined with curfews and lockdowns that cause everyone to do their shopping in condensed timeframes shoulder-to-shoulder with other people short on time too. I doubt there's much of a crypto scene in Guyana, but I have more contacts there than I do here, so I think our social life will come into existence there. !ENGAGE 15
