Does anyone know about Suriname's culture?

Suriname has an extraordinary ethnic variety deriving from Dutch colonisation, the importation of African slaves and an influx of indentured labourers from India and Indonesia. Its capital is rich with Dutch colonial architecture and there's a well-ordered system of nature parks and reserves.\n\nActually, my visit there was like visiting a miniature of Netherlands.  Everthing is too Dutch for comfort.  Yest lots of people hail from Africa, India and the Caribbean Community.

poor time keeping is definately something to remember. Also know that in Ghana its considered rude to use your left hand when dealing with people. The locals will understand if you don't follow this standard since you aren't from their culture but they will be impressed if you know. \n\nDon't be surprised or frightened if in more casual settings people, especially children want to touch your skin or your hair and ask you a lot of questions. They're just curious thats all. \n\nYou will see some of what you would consider poor hygene but keep in mind that people do what they know and what they've been taught so try not to look at people as if they're unclean or inferior. \n\nIts a wonderful country with welcoming people. Have fun!

That can be a tough question.We all know that they have American an Cuban cultures.But they have a lot of people from all over the Caribbean,as well as Central and South America.An most of these countries have many cultures.Including the United States.So the only way to answer this would be with a rough guess and say they have Hundreds of Cultures in Florida.

That's very, very vague.  Cultural influences among with nations or aspects of those nations?

like the US, there are far too many different ethnic groups and languages and cultures and people in south africa from so many different places that describing one tradition or custom would be impossible.\n\n(if this is for a school project then you should do some research and go back to your teacher and ask him/her to specify what they want.)

Culture of Costa Rica\nPopulation and Ancestry\nMany of the Spanish colonists who settled in Costa Rica during the 1500's and 1600's married native Indians. Their descendants are called mestizos. Today, whites and mestizos of unmixed ancestry consist of more than 97 per cent of Costa Rica's population. In addition to mestizos and whites, Costa Rica has two small minority groups - about 70,000 blacks and about 10,000 Indians. The majority of the blacks live along the Caribbean coast. During the late 1800's ancestors of Costa Rica's black population came to the country from Jamaica to build railroads and to work on the banana plantations. The Indians of Costa Rica live, for the most part, in isolated communities in the highlands and along the Caribbean and Pacific shores. They keep their tribes' traditional ways of life.\n\nCosta Ricans take great pride in their country's heritage of democratic government and social equality. The also value their own personal dignity and strong family ties. Nearly all Costa Ricans speak Spanish. However, many blacks speak a Jamaican dialect of English. About 90 per cent of Costa Ricans belong to the Roman Catholic Church.\n\nHousing\nAbout half of all Costa Ricans live on farms or in rural towns. Many farmers live in adobe cottages with white stucco walls and red or pink-tiled roofs. Other farmers live in brightly painted wooden houses. Most city people live in row houses. Such houses look much alike and are attached to one another in a row. Many Costa Ricans decorate their homes with plants and flowers. Some of the more affluent families in Costa Rica own large ranch-style or Spanish-style homes surrounded by gardens.\n\nFood\nThe diet of most Costa Ricans includes beans, coffee, corn, eggs and rice. In addition, many tropical fruits such as bananas, oranges, guavas, mangoes and pineapples are common. Most families also serve beef, fish, poultry, and many kinds of soups. The often prepare tamales (ground pork and corn meal steamed in corn husks) and tortillas (thin corn-meal pancakes).\n\nEducation\nAbout 93 per cent of Costa Rica's people can read and write, a higher percentage than in any other Central American country. By Costa Rican law, all children are required to complete elementary school. Students graduating from elementary school may attend secondary school, which, upon graduation, enables them to enter a university. The country has several universities, including the National University in Heredia and the University of Costa Rica near San José.\n\nRecreation\nCosta Ricans enjoy spending their leisure time outdoors. Many of them play football (soccer), the national sport, in neighborhood fields. Basketball, tennis, and swimming are also popular. Many Costa Ricans take part in colorful festivals on religious holidays. Bullfights, fireworks, and masked parades attract thousands of Costa Ricans and foreign tourists to San José during the annual Christmas festivals.\n\nTourists from all over the world, enjoy visiting Costa Rica's wealth of national parks. Costa Rica's national park system includes sandy beaches where sea turtles lay their eggs, tropical rain forests home to diverse species of monkeys and colorful birds, as well as several active volcanoes.\n\n\n\nYou will also see Costa Rican families appreciating the daily miracle of the sunset (puesta del sol). Young men surf the sunset session, often when the waves are best, while their younger counterparts play in the sand on the beach.

I think Native Americans are sooo nice!  I knew several full-blooded NA's from the Menominee tribe.  Very friendly folks. I think everyone believes NA's are still one with nature, even today.  I watched a lot of the Native American Grammy's (Nammy's?), and thought it was cool how the music ranged from folk music, pop, a reggaeton sound, and even almost hip-hop. I also liked how their dress, onstage, was from native attire to waaay more up-to-date than what I wear. I thought it proved that NA's don't just wear leather & feathers and play drums.  I think everyone feels guilty about the land that was taken away from people who initially welcomed the new visitors.  I have Shawnee blood in me from the Algonquian tribe.

Thats not something common in the culture I dont think becuase my best friend was doing her family tree and never came up with any. It could be a regional thing, like only certain countries, it could be a social class thing and it could be a cultural thing. Try contacting a museum of African history to ask, but as far as I know, there are none. Sorry :(
