Dear Editor,
I am a Senior citizen and was carrying two hand bags on the Caribbean Airways flight—- my regular hand bag and my C-Pap machine.
I suffer with sleep apnea and am allowed to carry the latter item without any extra cost. A senior flight attendant saw that I was struggling with the two bags and stopped me. He summoned a porter to get me a wheel chair. I was most grateful. On several occasions I went to the National Park and found that the walkers were mostly friendly. They were very courteous with a “good morning” greeting and a smile. That gave me a positive feeling.
At the corner of Norton and Camp Streets motorists were waiting their turn to proceed at the Stop Sign. There was no accident at that busy intersection during that short period. I was happy to see that there seemed to be no animosity between the two races. It would appear that the economic situation in Guyana has helped.
As soon as I landed in Guyana I noticed a glaring discrepancy at the airport. I could not believe that I was in Guyana. The porters and other workers were predominantly of one race. Guyana is supposed to be multiracial! It seemed that Guyanese do not like to wait their turn when shopping. My nephew who was also in Guyana, told me that he had to comment loudly when he saw some individuals forcing their way up front.
Noise Level. Some drivers turn up the volume of their music in their vehicles. They do this during the day and even in the middle of the night. It is deafening! Can the police do something about this?
Sincerely,
Hector Lachmansingh,
Guelph, Ontario, Canada
