Visiting Botopasi
Interesting is a visit to a village. In Suriname there are some kind of villages like the traditional and the Christian.One of the villages I visited is Botopasi where about 800 people are living. Remarkable in this village is the height of the doors: very small. This is because the inhabitants think that evil ghost can't come in then.To enter or leave a traditional village you have to walk through a gate with leaves hanging. This is to protect the village against the evil ghosts. Men and women have to walk through their own gate.
