- After a chill, relaxing morning on Isadou Island, my friend Imro and I headed out to go on a Surinamese river village tour. While I was there, I searched for a one-of-a-kind souvenir to take home! Come along with me as my jungle adventures in Suriname continue!

I was really enjoying my time on Isadou Island. It’s located in the Suriname River in the interior of the country and is about 5 hours from Paramaribo. I wanted to head over to the town across the river and explore and get a paddle as a souvenir for my wall of masks at home. But first, it was time for lunch!
Imro and I headed to the dining hall, where we had rice, chicken, and bitter eggplant waiting on us. I couldn’t wait to dive in. I was starving!
All of the food was raised right in the area, which means it’s super organic and very healthy for you! The chicken was amazing and had a tasty sauce on it. It tasted very Indo, while the chicken itself was like Jamaican jerk chicken! It’s because of the Javanese and Indian influences here in Suriname. The eggplant was a little bitter, but I could handle it because I love eggplant.
After lunch, we headed over to the Yao Yao Village across the river. Yao Yao is a sad term in the native language, and the village was given the name because they’ve lost crops because of the rapids in the river. I love the motorized canoes they use on the river. The village was just a minute away!
I wanted to find a paddle that had been used. We reached the beach and saw a thin canoe that they will burn to make to stretch so people will fit inside. My Surinamese River village tour began with a look at the houses. They’re wooden houses, and there are about 500 people in town. Married couples sleep in separate houses.
Then we saw some seeds that contain oily nuts inside. Further inside the village, I saw lots of kids and some friendly locals. There was a woman making casaba soup, which is made of yuca. It was super hot out and the sun was beating down on me.
We found a guy selling a paddle for about $25 USD, which isn’t bad. The paddle was nice and hand-carved by the man selling it. It was as tall as me! It was worth it and was super authentic!
Then, my Surinamese River village tour continued with a look at a standard house with a roof made from maripa trees. They actually have power there! Then I spotted some yellow foot turtles at a small guest house with four rooms. They actually eat the turtles there. There was a big, gorgeous, male turtle there! The guy had a shell that he had preserved. He also showed me his bird!
Further on in my Surinamese River village tour, we walked through a soccer field and met a woman who was selling some beautiful, hand-stitched scarves, which she wrapped around me. Imro said I looked cool! She sold it to me for 75 SRD. I was going to give it to my daughter.
I was loving this Surinamese River village tour. It was an authentic look at their way of life. We saw another canoe and the Yao Yao current in the river. Back in 2006, the village flooded by over 3 or 4 meters. Then we went back to the boat to leave. The Yao Yao current is insane!
We headed right through the current! Back at the resort, I needed to cool off. We relaxed for 4 hours. I joined Imro at the water to watch him fish. He didn’t catch anything, so we went up to the dining hall to get some locally-sourced brown beans and casaba bread. They were super yummy and a little sweet and reminded me of the beans you get at a Southern barbecue restaurant. The bread was too hard, so let it soak in the beans to soften it up. It took a while to soften it up!
I hope you liked this Surinamese River village tour! If you did, please give it a thumbs up, leave a comment, and subscribe so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food adventures!

The brown beans soup (bruine bonen) should be eaten with rice, or with toasted cassava flour (kwak). You can make it with all different kinds of meat - chicken, saltmeat (zoutvlees), pig's tails, whatever you have available at the time. And of course not forgetting the Madame Jeanette pepper!
The soup tastes even better the day after it is made!
Ja its so nice with rice
whats the name of the tree. is it maripa ?
Natural food, natural place. Must be great this country.🏖️
Hi David , My family is Cuban / Irish , and I've been having this yucca / cassava debate with my Cuban mom for some time now. It was very difficult to get a straight answer anywhere because I think most people just don't realize they are the same thing. In some parts of the world it's called yucca , and in other parts , like Africa , it's called cassava. In my family we call cassava bread , cassava . I recently saw you eat it without soaking it first. But it's made from yucca flour or cassava flour it really can be called either one you like. When that bread is soaked in meat juice or gravy or soup , ohhh man it's awesome. My favorite is yucca con mojo , and fried yucca.
Cassava and yuca are the same thing, just depends where you are from. It is also known as manioc in Brazil and other places.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassava
@@richardmurray4605 exactly!
I very much like how you bought that padle to have a souvenir for your home... It's made from a tree from the amazone and it's a very nice souvenir to have 😍😍😍 Good job David ❤ Keep up the good videos 😘
Marjory Rekna yes in my walk!
Yeah keep cutting down trees and killing the Amazon lol yeah so proud.. considering it's almost illegal everywhere to import any wood from the amazon I highly doubt he'll have a nice piece to show off in his house;)

You have to soak the cassava bread in water in a shallow bowl or plate for a few minutes . I don;t understand why they didn't tell you
Tomsawyerspit Jajaja I wish I had known that
@@Davidsbeenhere It's all good bro , we live we learn.
@@Davidsbeenhere if you like to eat it that way it is oke.I eat it dry many times just like a snack and i like it.The ones i buy are not so hard so i manage in eating it dry.It os delicious.

Hello David, ived been watching your vids, and i love it. youre improving a lot. Hope to hear from you. ❤️
Love Suriname 🇸🇷 ❤️❤️❤️👈🏽
David, you have been in readytex earlier. There they sell crafted peddles for almost the same price. Downtown there are alot of souvenir shops.
Gitta Fung yes but not as authentic as buying it in the rainforest
@@Davidsbeenhere aah ok. I get it.
Authentic and less expensive.
Dont forget supermarket is not around thw corner... So they have a turtel cages
The Javanese ( Indonesia food ) food in Suriname
I wonder if you were able to bring the paddle home
That is not the way Suriname people eat brown beans
Awesome video 👌🏼
nice
This is jungle life.
35 for the Pangi that's very cheap. And I would loved if you would've talked more about the Saamaka people instead of calling everything Asian 🤷🏾♀️. And the eggplant we eat it bitter like that.
That guy is just denied the Marron culture , maybe he is just a white racist !
Awesome👌
Brown beans.. You can eat differt ways... Like with anijs.. Salt meat
Tsk tsk. No life vest. Lol. Loved the video!
When most westerners/europeans refer to Asia - they mean East Asia mainly)). Because countries like India, Iran, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, UAE, Israel, Qatar, etc...are also all Asian countries.
U should try some Indian Surinamese food it's Amazelicous!!
Nice videos
Those kasavas are giving tough work to your teeth David 😆
The casava bread 😅😅😅
Not eggplant dude - bitter gourd (that's why it was bitter). Yes, yuca = cassave, and what the root is what you eat. I have never seen anyone wear a pangi around their head - seriously... Pretty sure the bruine bonen (brown beans) came from a can - they don't grow them in Suriname.
Neen,
Antroewa = african eggplant, bitter eggplant
Sopropo = bitter melon, bitter gourd, karela
YOU SOUND LIKE JESSE PINKMAN AHAHA
sighs@ him calling it village food!
Wonder how he got that idea. The only village food item is the cassava bread i think.
You suppose to eat the beans with white rice
You have to eat the beans with rice
Can you tell us how you got the padle back to the US?
You'll have to get a permit allowing you to take the item carved from local wood out of Su.
C'mon, beans (bruine bonen) with cassave bread, no meat or side vegetable...
Oh c'mon Suriname, u can do better then that...
Another time, try some good restaurants in the city...
So was the paddle worth it for 25 bucks?
Geno E I think it’s actually worth more. David got a good deal.
Sunburn u arm?
Antruwa.. Bittawieri.. Soppropo.. He hasn't eaten that.
Bruine bonen 😆🇸🇷
i would love to swim there 😍🏊
You got soaked it first...is easier to eat it...listen to imro he's been eating it for years..Thats how you eat it..doesnt anyone showing you how to eat it..just make it wet with a little bit of water and its easier to consume..
Come to north east India.... U didn't go to arunachal,vutan,sikkim,Manipur,Nagaland.. Thare is more... Come hare waiting for u r north east Indian vlog..
I can tell he down for the coco..

Wendy J. 😂
