Guyana is known for its especially delicious and tasty foods. As someone who has traveled well, I can attest to the fact that Guyana boasts one of the world’s richest culinary blend. Our snacks are especially tasty and unrivaled in the world. On many occasions, when I spent a long time out of Guyana, I found myself craving for Guyanese snacks such as eggball, bara, poulourie, etc, and also Guyanese food such as dhal and rice which is not known in some parts of the world. In these cases, I had to make them on my own or teach my foreign friends how to make them for me. One time, I had to ask friends from Guyana to traffic a few bottles of casareep from Guyana to the south of Brazil for me.

After all, we live in a world where anything is possible, and the bible reiterates that, “all things are possible with God.” Nevertheless, what I wish to express by this headline is that the chances of the populated areas of Guyana being hit by a hurricane is so infinitesimally small that we may very well consider it a near-impossibility. While nothing is impossible, we can say that it is highly improbable.
