4. The Moon
Like the Sun and all of the stars, in Maldives also the Moon rises and sets vertically.
The result is a curious effect: the “horns” will be facing upwards or downwards. We’ll see … in short, the Moon sideways.
The photograph on the left shows precisely a Maldivian Moon with horns facing almost exactly upwards.
Unfortunately, the Moon and the wonders of the sky do not go hand in hand, indeed. The lunar light disturbs the observations, which should be performed in the waning phase of the moon or near New Moon.
5. Gulab Jamun
Gulab Jamun is a very popular dessert of India and is also widely famous in Maldives. Whether you are a sweet tooth or not, Gulab Jamuns are a must try delicacy. This is prepared with milk-solid-based balls which are dipped in sugar syrup until they are spongy and soft. It tastes even better when served hot as you will be able to get the enhanced flavours of this sweet. Some gulab jamuns are also stuffed with dry fruits and cardamon. This is the ultimate dessert!

What a phenomenon!
1. Butterfly Park
Suriname’s high forest cover and abundant water supply make it a perfect habitat for butterflies and birds.
Suriname is also one of the top countries for butterfly species due to its temperature and vegetation. The Neotropical Butterfly Park, located just outside Paramaribo, is a lovely nature reserve with dozens of Surinamese butterflies.
The park also has an insect museum with examples of several bug species peculiar to Suriname’s rainforests. An exhibition hall adjacent to the Insects Museum houses a collection of remarkable paintings.
4. Dutch ties.
In 1954, Suriname became one of the constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
On 25 November 1975, it left the Kingdom to become an independent state.
In contrast to Indonesia's earlier war for independence from the Netherlands, the path toward Suriname's independence was an initiative of the then left-wing Dutch government.
Suriname continues to maintain close diplomatic, economic, and cultural ties with the Netherlands.
@ angel, that might be the reason for Dutch being their official language.
5. Culture
Suriname is one of the smallest countries in South America, yet its population is one of the most ethnically diverse in the region. Suriname is strongly influenced by Asian, African, and European cultures. Suriname's population includes Hindustanis, Creoles, Javanese, Maroons, and Amerindians. The diversity of its population is a point of pride among many Surinamese people.
