OK, you might not think you hate it, but when's the last time you thought of it? And is it really OK to be so passively neglectful of an entire country?* If Suriname is not exotic, nothing is exotic. The breakdown in terms of ethnic heritage is: Hindustani ("Indian") 37%, Creole (mixed white and black) 31%, Javanese 15%, "Maroons" (their African ancestors were brought to the country in the 17th and 18th centuries as slaves and escaped to the interior) 10%, Amerindian 2%, Chinese 2%, white 1%, other 2%. Suriname is one of those places that is Tiki without even knowing it. http://www.nickerie.com/nickerie (please be assured I am joking here)
