Parking
There are a few busy places where there are men wandering around the street ''giving'' you a parking space and telling you to protect your car. I give them srd 1,- after I return just not to be bothered.

Taxi's in Surinam
Taxi's are the fastest way to get around. If you're going to a town far away like Albina, Moengo or Nickerie ask the taxi driver not to drive as fast. The roads are not built for the same speeds as in Europe or the USA

If you need to visit a hairdresser check for prices first. If you can't see prices anywhere in a salon better be careful.
