Many young people in places like Benderoff could not wait to leave, but after living for a few decades in the city or overseas, they will give anything to go back. Many of us lived without electricity and running water in the house, but we accepted it as normal. Until we lived in house with all the conveniences and have difficulty going back.
When people passing us smoking cigarettes and we get a different smell, we look for skunk, but now the different odour is someone smoking a joint.
I never had a country life. Born and lived in GT all my life but respect the simplicity of the rural folks. It was for this reason why I planned on heading to the essequibo coast in April. The place I was going to does not have all the modern conveniences but that's quite alright by me. Sadly, dis antiman coronavirus came tru and American Airlines cancel all flights to Guyana.
Ah vex bad.
Shiek ,you will enjoy the stay in country areas .I am a country man born an grow up on WCD. Lived in GT for awhile, returned home then went back to work only,no living. Travelled on the coast land of Guyana from Crabwood creek to about 3 miles from Charity on the Essequibo Coast ,visited the major Islands in the Essequibo River ,Mahaica and Mahaicony rivers.One of my aunt was living in Hubu,went all the way to Nameless. There are currently asphalted road up to that area ,potable water and electricity. Even where i live in the US is like country area .I don't like to live and work in large cities ,disliked crowded areas feels claustrophobic .
Why only 3 miles from Charity, the farmer had a shotgun ? 
One time Leon and myself went on a two week trip to Catherina, Regina and Charity [Including CI seawall]. It was wonderful in the ferry when they had easy chairs for lying down and the most relaxing vacation.
Sheik, when you trip is rescheduled, take the ferry for part of your journey. It stops at some of the islands before reaching Supernaam on the Essequibo coast.
Same here, me dislike large cities. Main reason for moving north, with wide open spaces. I went to a wedding in Saskatchewan and that was one big flat open space.
