ย ย ย ย ย Thank you @careassaktart. Well, coming from 10 years in Cambodia, we are quite excited about the upgrade in quality of life. To us, Suriname is a very wealthy country full of citizens with cars and houses. That being said, it's not comparable to western Europe or the USA as far as standard of living. All in all, it's the perfect balance of standard of living and cost of living. Suriname is off the radar of international tourism, there is much potential here, where as other countries in the Caribbean are all played out.
WoW! I didn't know that either! It would be interesting to visit the country! Is there a dark / negative side of the coin?
ย ย ย ย ย Considering the ethnic diversity and variety of cultures here, the food is surprisingly terrible. The Indian, Chinese and Javanese food here are all some of the worst I've had in the world. Vegetable and fruit prices are relatively high compared to the cost of living as well, but the country is very safe. As chefs, we look for opportunity. Considering the high food prices and cheap land costs, we are considering abandoning the restaurant business and getting into farming. @sreypov and I both have a background in farming, so we'd handle the transition quite well.
Well done! You have an excellent nose for business & fast adjustment moment! Go for it! Thank you for all the info & good luck on your travels & business plans! ;)
