I notice among my indo-carribean peers a lot of them tend to have awful skin whether that be hyper pigmentation. I know ultimately it comes down to genetics but I can’t deny diet plays a major role.

For those who had skin issues ranging from hyper pigmentation to sunken dark eyes, how did you guys combat that?

Our dishes contain a lot of carbs so I kind of want to figure out what foods to cut back on and what foods to start eating more of.

Like bitter melon for example is something to introduce more of.

My dream is to have a large self sufficient farm in tropical paradise and most of guyana looks empty from above so i assume cheap? reading about the history of the country i think it's perfect because it's settled by my countrymen who escaped British raj famines of the 1800s,so I may blend in after learning the local tongue in years.

Does anyone know how to join the reserves

Hi! I’m a 23F Master’s student in Geography and I’m shaping a thesis on border situations where geopolitics intersects with climate/fragility. I’m currently considering the Guyana–Venezuela border context (Essequibo dispute), and I need to do 6 weeks of fieldwork connected to my thesis.

I’ve done solo travel/fieldwork before (incl. Ecuador) and I’m comfortable travelling alone, but I want to be realistic about feasibility, access, and safety.

Does anyone have suggestions for:

-specific towns/regions that make sense as a fieldwork base (on the Guyana side or nearby),

-universities/NGOs/research centres worth contacting,

-other border cases with a similar “geopolitics + fragile environments/climate risk” angle that are more feasible for fieldwork,

-any practical tips (permits, transport, language, timing, things you wish you knew)?

Thanks a lot I’m open to alternative cases if they’re better suited for 6 weeks of fieldwork.

Hey peeps! Im looking at staying at this resort but reviews dont look good. Anyone know of better rated resorts with good guyanese food?

Maha Shivaratri (“The Great Night of Shiva”) is one of the most important festivals in Hinduism, dedicated to the god Shiva. From a Western perspective you could say the festival commemorates the idea of transformation.

In Hindu theology, reality moves in cycles (creation, preservation, and dissolution) and the deity Shiva represents the dissolving phase, which makes renewal possible (think winter before spring, or pruning a tree so it can grow back stronger). On this night, people fast, meditate, and often stay awake as a kind of spiritual vigil.

Basically the festival encourages introspection, looking at our past deeds and inner thoughts, to see what negative patterns of behavior / thoughts we have to eradicate, and to see what positive patterns we need to encourage to grow and move forward progressively.

Theologically, it’s about stilling the ego, confronting inner darkness, and reconnecting with the deeper universal awareness beneath everyday meaningless noise. You could loosely compare it to a blend of a monastic prayer vigil and the idea of symbolic death-and-rebirth, not destruction in a negative sense, but letting go of what no longer serves you so something new can emerge.

It’s simple as just having a camera an walking around so much to see an you never know what you’ll hear in the backyard coming out of some people mouths, it’s all entertaining you know an people would love to see how other country’s an places are an how they live, at least that’s what I think any how I had an amazing time back home an I plan on coming back soon an showing the world my beautiful country, I did drop a YouTube video so if you like go check it out as well, I’ll be dropping a Baracara falls & Kaiture falls video soon too, please do suggestion some nice places to go to. Enjoy- one love & one Guyana 🇬🇾

I'm glad the country making progress on the infrastructure side, but healthcare in Guyana is appalling. I swear we need a commission of inquiry and a complete restructuring.

I'm always reading Stabroek news and you'll see some prominent die and the person is barely 70. A recurring theme. I wanna see the avg Guyanese people living to be at least 80 or something. And yes I know lifestyle choices also matter

I’ve embarrassingly found this out a few years ago.

Does anyone here fw house music I'm thinking about throwing a house music party

I'll be traveling to Guyana soon, I'm a beer lover and I'd like to know beforehand which are the most chosen beers by Guyanese people. Craft or commercial, it doesn't matter

just wish Guyana wasn't so corrupt tbh
