Fun/Interesting/Crazy things

Cat gave us a lot of entertanment. She was not a pet, but we learned how feral cats survive in the city. It was interesting to visit the public hospital and see how primitive it is. The hospital looks like movies of hospitals in 1918. What is on the road can be termed crazy: cows, horses, goats, sheep, dogs, horse carts, donkey carts, pedestrians (there are no sidewalks), bicycles, motor scooters, vendors on tricycles and discourteous drivers. Also crazy was the way the news spread after Elder Whitehead got into a car wreeck in Paramaribo. Everyone in Georgetown knew about it before we got home and for months afterward, perfect strangers asked us about the incident especially at the Guyana/Suriname border.
