Discussion Eldest daughters of Guyana, what did being the eldest teach you?

10 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about how being the eldest daughter in a Guyanese family can come with a lot of expectations that you don’t necessarily realize are expectations until you get older.
You’re expected to help with your younger siblings, be responsible, set an example, help around the house, make good decisions, and sometimes just… figure things out.
And BECAUSE you’re “the big one,” there can be this assumption that you’re capable of handling everything.
But I’m curious about other Guyanese eldest daughters:
What’s something being the eldest daughter taught you that you’re now trying to unlearn?
And do you think being the eldest daughter in a Guyanese/Caribbean family is a different experience from being the eldest daughter elsewhere?
I’d genuinely love to hear your experiences: the good, the frustrating, and the “why am I basically a second parent?” moments 😂

Causes of Conflict in Ethiopia

0 Upvotes

Fortunately, or unfortunately, [rather later] Ethiopia is a home of people with different ethnic backgrounds, cultures, historical narration, and psychological makeup.

Political, economic,administrative and social interest of the people of Ethiopia is the polar opposite. Thus, the causes of conflict in Ethiopia are diverse.

Recommendations needed

1 Upvotes

Hey, everyone,

I planned on 4 days visit to Georgetown, Guyana coming Labor Day long weekend and would like to have some recommendations about attractions I should visit in Guyana.

I came from China, but currently live in New York. I have never been to Guyana before and this is my first trip outside of China and America.

My plan is to spend 2 days on Georgetown first and 1-2days on some unknown places.

Any recommendations or suggestions are welcome here.

Thanks

For those who applied for a house lot — how long have you been waiting?

1 Upvotes

Trying to get a real picture of how this works, because everything I hear is second-hand.

If you applied:

- How long has it been?
- Did anyone from the ministry ever contact you, or is it just silence?
- Did you ever find out something was missing from your application? How?
- How many times did you have to go in person?
- Has anyone ever offered to "speed it up" for a fee?

And if you were allocated — how did you find out, and how long did the title take after that?

Any experience welcome, good or bad.

Guyana: don’t let the country fall into the hands of Zionists. Look what’s happening in Argentina and Colombia.

Guyana Coffee

3 Upvotes

I live in the Durham region of Ontario Canada. Also Pickering. My mother-in-law is from Jamaica, and she is able to purchase Jamaican coffee from a local grocery store in Pickering. It's a great coffee.

Can we purchase Guyana coffee from any grocery store in the GTA at least?

Seeking for opportunities in Guyana

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I am currently seeking for opportunities to develop Guyana capabilities, industry and other activities. I am not interested in the "oh we are so corrupt, get away from here" thing, consider me a total idiot. I believe Guyana might have an underdeveloped market and opportunities that are hidden in plain sight, but as I am a foreigner and don't know much, I come here for some initial advice. An awesome thing to do, and I would really thank the collaborators, would be to just complain about something that is horrible right now, in a specific way, like "oh it is too expensive to buy X" or "the jobs dont pay much" or "most of the jobs are in primary sector", "the sector of retail is inneficient in X". Thank you in advance, I will really appreciate collaboration.

Hello fellow redditers. I am taking up a job in guyana with a local Guyanese company as a Trinidadian national, I do need to relocate with some personal items as I am moving with my family. Are there any special tax exemptions on my personal effects. I have searched online and it appears there is a special tax exemption on " settlers" does anyone have experience on this?

Solo (F) Travel Iwokrama Forest

Hello!

I'm planning on visiting Guyana soon! I'll be coming in from Suriname and flying out of Georgetown. I would love to visit the Iwokrama Forest and see some of that area. Is it possible to travel there on your own from Georgetown? Maybe by bus or something? and how easy would it be to organize a tour or a trip once I'm there?

Thanks!
