One Week In Guyana

Everything went by so quickly.
Georgetown, Guyana is so far so good.
I have feared coming to this country because of what I have read online, this country and its people are known for being anti-gay. Needless to say, I am gay and my partner too! :)
We moved to this country because of my partner's work.
I have yet to encounter any discrimination but that is because I have never really gone out- that is to explore the city not to get bashed on the street. Haha!
The hotel we are staying is so far effective when it comes to security; the staff are okay- the female staff are nicer and are always greeting me with smiles unlike the guys. 
I am not sure why, but I find most male workers in the hotel rather unapproachable to say it modestly. They almost always have this look in their faces that intimidates me.

Grand Coastal Hotel
On another topic, I don't like soft water shower.
I'm not certain if it's just the water system in the hotel or it's a countrywide thing.
I don't like the slimy feeling after showering. No, using less soap is not an option.
I am hoping that the house I find would not have softener in the water system because it would drive me crazy.
It's been a week and I have yet to meet a real estate agent to help me find a place to move in to.
Sigh!
Anyway, here are few photos I have taken during a short trip to town.
