Afro Surinamese Women in Roatan Compare Their Culture to the Garifuna Culture
The best part about meeting all of the wonderful guests at the center is learning about THEIR culture! When the women in this video randomly stopped by Flamingo Cultural Center during their Roatan cruise ship excursion, we knew it was a move of the higher power.
The mother daughter combo was equally shocked as us to find so many similarities between their Maroon descendant Surinamese culture and the Garifuna culture. We all felt goosebumps throughout the entire encounter. The Amerindian and African mix occurred all over the Caribbean and this is proof of it. Makes us wonder, with so many similarities, the Garifuna culture must have spread farther than the current Central American countries (Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua) where the Garifuna culture is found.
The Flamingo Cultural Center is located in Punta Gorda, Roatan. It is a Garifuna owned and operated business dedicated to the preservation of the Garifuna culture and empowerment of the community. If you a seeking an authentic cultural experience during your visit to Roatan book your tour with us today!

Diving in Belize, Ambergris Caye - Esmeralda Canyons, July 19, 2016
Bobbi and I did this as an afternoon 3rd dive of the day and were accompanied by among others a father and his young son. You can see that it's an entertainment dive, with divemaster Bernie finding a mantis shrimp and enlarging its hole so we can see it better, and uncovering a sea biscuit for us. One interesting insight into the culture here is evident in the small nurse shark that followed us around and lay in the sand at our fins when the focus of the divers was on other things, such as the damsel fish in one segment. A highlight of this dive was an eagle ray that reared up off the reef and made a graceful effort.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
