Guyana Nice!

The other day I saw one of my church sisters who now resides overseas. She was visiting Guyana for a few days for her organization. She said to me, "Y'all don't know how good y'all got it in Guyana."

What she meant was the fact that the freedom we have in Guyana is not found elsewhere. Also implied in that statement is the fact that "There is no place like home." 

While we have an appreciation for what God has given to us, we tend to have a deeper appreciation for the things that we no longer have. This reality may have birthed the statement "You don't miss the water until the well runs dry."

Consequently, many Guyanese who now resides overseas have a much deeper appreciation for Homeland Guyana. The truth is: Guyana nice! Infact, Guyana nice bad (if you are a Guyanese or have resided in Guyana long enough, you would understand what that means). 

Guyana was once one of the world's best kept secrets, but now the secret is out. This once largely undiscovered aspect of South America is now becoming a centre of attraction for the world. People in Guyana and around the world are discovering more and more how Guyana nice.

The places and scenery are nice:

In the comments section below, share what you think makes Guyana a nice place. Thanks in advance.



Happy 53rd Independence to all Guyanese.
