Introduction

Today I am go to talk about the country of Guyana. In the next five to ten minutes as you read these report, I will go and try to show you the two sides of this country. This country has a rich but short history. It also has a stupefying side too. I hope you enjoy the next 5 pages.

Geography

The country of Guyana is bordered by Suriname to the east, by Brazil to the south, southwest by Venezuela to the west, and by the Atlantic Ocean to the north. Guyana is considered a part of the Caribbean just like Venezuela and Columbia. The country can also be divided into five natural regions. A narrow and fertile marshy plain along the Atlantic coast where most of the population lives. A white sand belt more inland (hilly sand and clay), containing most of Guyana's mineral deposits. The dense rain forests in the southern part of the country. The desert savannah in the southern west region of the country. The fifth and last region the interior lowlands which is the smallest region in Guyana, and consisting of mostly mountains that gradually rise to the Brazilian border. Demographics

Reynolds Metals and the British-Australian Rio Tinto's Rio Tinto Alcan subsidiary; the

Korean/Malaysian Barama Company has a large stake in the logging industry.

Should you go over there?

I think this country is similar to all the other countries in the Caribbean. Would I recommend this country? No. It's simply because Guyana right now is full of crime it is worst then

Dominican Republic. How is it worst then the Dominican Republic? I say this because the country has the worlds highest suicide count to start the year .
