The most commonly used addresses are Mr., Mrs., Ms. or Mrs., and unmarried young men and women are called young masters and young ladies. It is customary to add administrative or academic titles before addressing. The taboos of residents are similar to those of countries such as the Netherlands. If a woman's age is not suitable for ordinary people to ask, even if she asks, she won't get an answer. In Suriname, Indians living by the river have a very special fishing method. They shoot fish with a wooden bow and arrow, and they usually shoot fish without fishing nets and fishing rods.

Fishing in this way requires quite skilled and excellent technology. Therefore, the fishermen here have been famous since ancient times.

When fishermen want to fish, they wait quietly by the river with wooden bows and arrows in their hands. Once they found the fish, they immediately shot an arrow made of solid wood and hit the target accurately with a whoosh.

According to local regulations, a real fisherman must hit the fish with one arrow, otherwise he is not a fisherman and will be laughed at by children. The local tribal leader will also give him some money and say to him, "Young man, you'd better go to the store and buy a fishing rod for the white man. You can't shoot fish. " Therefore, people there should practice fishing from an early age in order to really have this ability and avoid being laughed at.

There is another interesting phenomenon. In the local gold mine, the wages of workers are settled in gold.
