RE: Groningen - Then and Now

I used to often swim in this pool and I know it as "Piranha", but I was really young, so could have gotten the name wrong. What a waste that the river has broken the dam, which is the last news that I had read about it.

My family (ancestors) also used to live in Saramacca, but they had left before I was born. Kampong Baroe is where they used to reside. Unfortunately we don't know precisely where.

Sort:  

@tanjakolader It could be. I can't remember all the details also. Aah, Kampong Baroe is a nice place. I was there recently and I love that they still have cows everywhere and that kids still play outside instead of sitting behind an I-pad or mobile phone.

Ah that's some good news, that there are still kids playing outside. I wouldn't trade my days playing outside in the sun or rain: the memories. I have a friend who's also from there and he used to go with the school bus to the university and he fondly told me about the place. It's definitely chill from what I've experienced.
