You are one of the most authentic UA-cam travel bloggers Sly. Big up yourself and I hope you enjoy Guyana. Nice to see you interacting with locals 🇬🇾🇬🇾
I saw someone said that he shouldn't talk about slavery. I am Afro Guyanese and I am not ashamed of my history. The enslavers are the ones who should be ashamed. Those who forget their history are likely to repeat it. Indians celebrate Indian arrival day, I would never tell them to forget where they came from.
i am from guyana and though that country need so much cleaning up, i don't love any other place more . i am sitting here in schenectady Ny . love the vid.
Hi Sly, this is an interesting video. I grew up in the sixties and early seventies about 3-4 miles from there and never visited Victoria village. This village is of great historical significance to our Afro Guyanese brothers and sisters.
Thank you for showing the beautiful people, places, food and most of all respecting the people…..some UA-camrs only like the show the worst of Guyana and other black countries, I visit 🇬🇾every summer and I am proud of my motherland. Please hurry back to Guyana 🇬🇾🤣🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🤎🤎🤎 new follower🙌🏾
I am from Victoria Village but living in New York I was really happy to see a vlogger going to the first village. That pink shop is the Luke's and the wash bay is owned by Owen McCurius. That building used to be Greco back in the days with many workers. My grandfather Ralph Moore name is on the monument in the community Center yard he was the village councilor before I was born. You should have walked forth where most of the villagers live and it's the fun side too, you would have gotten more knowledge of the village.

You should have seen it 10 years plus back. This new government is doing wonders now with oil money. Something the previous government never did. But as a Guyanese myself, I can say that SOME Guyanese are absolutely nasty. They throw their garbage around, in the trench causing blockage and just don’t care for the environment. Whenever I visited Guyana it breaks my heart to see the dismal effects in Georgetown.
@@razeka62 You can find such things in Europe as well! Especially young people throw plastic waste around, because they are too "cool" to throw it in the can and older people in rural areas which throw bigger waste in nature. In the cities there is a good cleaning service, so it looks a lot cleaner. In less developed countries there is not enough money to pay cleaning services to clean entire urban areas. I think that education system in the schools doesn't do enough to educate people about real life stuff.
@@razeka62 if it was a mess in 2014 , would that not be the pop that was responsible for that? They were the ones in power for 28 years. Y'all so racist and bias , you can't help yourselves.
We eat curry and roti with our hands. We are a diverse people. You said roti correctly. I am just confused about you talking about slavery, the gentleman told you it was the best place to be. Guyanese people are happy people. We live in the present. Slavery happened way before most of our great grandparents were even born. You have to understand that slavery was abolished in the entire west Indies, (Guyana, Barbados , Trinidad, Jamaica, and others) back in 1834, 31 years before it was in the US. ❤🇬🇾.
@@sanjeanb8075 you said the key word. "History" we are happy people. Why dwell on something you were not around for. You cyan Neva move forward if yuh keep dwelling on di past. Everyone he was talking to is happy. These people are not even in the mindset as him. People are living life and being happy. You in di states can guh on and on about it. keep it deh.
so cute accent 'Sly' guess u r american born? guyanese parents? i was born there, living in canada, now, 'stumbled' on your clip, so 'fun', u 'discovering, lol
What are your impressions on the country and people versus other countries you've been to? How are they compared to the other Caribbean countries, Europeans, etc?
Next year, Guyana is going to surpass Switzerland and Norway in terms of GDP per capita PPP, meaning average guyanian is going to have more purchasing power than a switz, but it doesn't look like anything is much different. I search videos each year to see how everything changes, but yeah, barely any improvement.
lol since you don’t know what she said at 9:40 she said yuh can’t be a 6 in Guyana “ it’s basically a gang in Trinidad that rivals another gang named 7. Hence the gang signs . Next time respond with “7 to the world “, they’ll love you
Pppc did not anything for poor black and indian they do for the families and frenz cuz they were in power for 23 and still in power and guyana is still.piss poor ,only only the rixh getting richer ,the poor getting poorer

some ppl want us to forget so bad
Hey Sly. I really appreciate how you approached people to talk. Hearing what they have to say tells us a lot about Guyana.
Thank you for bringing us to this lovely place. It was nice to meet everyone and learn about the history.
🙂💙👍Thank You Sly really enjoyed watching your new adventure Safe Travels. 🙂💙👍
I am Guyanese, and I love your videos. Making me feel nostalgic.
One thing I can salute you for is being on a journey with no so called tricking, and acting a fool..keep on traveling brotha Sly🙏🏽✊🏽

Beautiful post. I was born in Guyana and never knew about Victoria village. ❤👍🏽🇬🇾🇬🇾💯💯
My father was from Victoria Village. I have lots of relatives there.
I guess you did not go to school there either
@@yolandaclarke7949,lol
@@yolandaclarke7949 I was born in Guyana and went to school there thru high school. Never heard of this village. What’s your point?
@@razeka62 ...........i guess you missed that part of social studies, nothing wrong tho........ we learn every day
My family's home country! 👏🏾
Peace be with you,keep up the good work,❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤from New York,

So why shouldn't he talk about slavery? Isn't it part of Guyanese history!
How want to add that another slaves were indentured laborers. The British just used a different name
Just....not how

Nice to see you talking and interacting with people because you didn't do that at all in Europe

LMAO 🤣
AWW MAAN YUH SHOULD A GO TO TIGER BAY,OR LODGE OR LA PENITANCE

Some improvements
They could have given you a spoon to dip the curry sauce out and onto the roti
You should have bought your food in Victoria village. That stuff you ate was just powder spice water and whatever else they had in there.
The color of that Dragon fruit drink wasn't too enticing for me to want to sample it,..i wonder what's the local name for Dragon fruit?
Guyana 🇬🇾 🤔 wasn't that the same place jim jones lead almost 1 000 people to commit suicide 🤔??
Next stop, Suriname🇸🇷?
Did you see anything about Jim Jones in Guyana?
Next time get mauby as your drink. But I always feel that curry does not pair well with fruit juices.
🇬🇾
You ate curry n roti a lot. The way you break the roti and dipped the curry tells me that.
Looks like Belize
lol since you don’t know what she said at 9:40 she said yuh can’t be a 6 in Guyana “ it’s basically a gang in Trinidad that rivals another gang named 7. Hence the gang signs . Next time respond with “7 to the world “, they’ll love you
Don't do it, plz 😂.
hi
God Almighty Blessing to all Guyanese under the PPPC Government not under the APNU AFC where they think about them self
STFU lol, PPP are a criminal sanctioned regime and will lose the elections in 2025
Pppc did not anything for poor black and indian they do for the families and frenz cuz they were in power for 23 and still in power and guyana is still.piss poor ,only only the rixh getting richer ,the poor getting poorer
All pppc do it theif guyana resource and give to their families and frenz nothing for the poor
One word caused this in the comments😐
Hey there go and visit my cousin's in princes and Charles street they will tell you guide you around for free . Ask for Farida

interesting that everyone speaks English
It's the only English speaking country in South America. But some people in certain places speak broken English and patwah.
Guyana official language is english and we have our native language which is guyanese creole language
@@tiffineemoore2878 thank you
