Where is Paramaribo?

Curtain Sunrise │ GH2 + Lumix 20mm F1.7 │ 20mm F1.8 1/25s ISO1600I admit that until moving to the Netherlands, I'd never heard of Paramaribo nor did I have any idea where the country that it's the capital of – Suriname – was located. Suriname used to be a Dutch colony, so it still has a lot of ties with Holland, including a shared language. A lot of Surinamers immigrated to the Netherlands, exposing us to their culture. Mostly though, we owe our interest in Suriname to our very kind and generous neighbours who we will spend a few days with here in Paramaribo.
