Dreaming of a Passion Fruit Jubilee in Guyana 2026
Passion Fruit Walk in the market and see apples for GYD100 each and a young woman with a tub of passion fruit. I ask her how much and she doesn't turn around as she tells me 5 for GYD1000 .. she leaves me to pick out the five because I think passion fruit is good for me, and that a passion fruit a day has benefits like an apple a day though the way things are in Guyana.. it seems like is foreign things, things imported from outside are cheaper, and so economically better (even for rich people like me) than things from Guyana Bus driver says 'dis guvament is stupid' as the bus with people from different origins laughing and celebrating the wheelbarrow of coins which one friend take to pay his other friend costs a few weeks ago. 'New Wheelbarrow..' Does the guvament care that locally grown passion fruit is more expensive than imported apples? Do people care anymore? 1616 to 1966 to 2026 1616 - the Dutch come and found Essequibo 1966 - British Guiana turn Guyana...
