We work really hard to keep the kids happy here, but there is little food, hyperinflation and crime has gripped the country, and we have no access to our funds except by smuggling it into the country in air freight packages. The situation here is worse than in Venezuela in many ways. There is on future here for us, and even the kids hate this country too. I think we seem happy because we're pretty zen at accepting situations we have no control over.

I hate to admit I've disliked few countries I've traveled or lived in more than Suriname.
