“Where are you from?”

“Suriname. You know Suriname?”

“I haven’t heard of it before.”

“It between the Guyana’s in South America.”

“So you’re visiting the city?”

“Naw, I’ve lived here 60 years. I’m 80 years old.”

“You look great. What’s the secret to longevity here?”

“Be good, treat people with respect, and trust in God. But if you do that, you’ll be good anywhere!”
