An issue that appears to be prevalent in Paramaribo is the amount of trash throughout the city on the streets. The issue appears to be that the waste management companies have the habit of picking up trash less frequently than expected/contracted. As a result, people who have trash in their house will end up dumping it in open spaces to get rid of it.
In addition, the hours of tourism-related activities are very reduced. The tourism center is not open on the weekends or after 3:30PM. Other places, such as souvenir/gift-shops were not even open during posted hours as the owners didn't feel like opening that day.
For the last team dinner in the country, the group went with a very good Thai restaurant.
