On Fridays, Don’t Stop Living brings you a varied range of unusual food to try on your travels.

“Here I am in Amsterdam, I like it here, they speak my language.” – Nicky Wire My long awaited return to the Netherlands came with some genuine new found love for these over-trodden, incessantly-beaten European cities.

Madrid is famous for a lot of different things down the years such as Real Madrid, the gay scene, Franco’s parades but did you know that Madrid has the world’s oldest restaurant? Neither did I until I turned up here, neither…

It’s not immediately obvious which food is Guyanese and which is not when you tour Guyana. We decided to ask the tourist board for the most authentic and real place to try Guyanese food and oddly, it turned out to be a restaurant called “Germans” in the capital city, Georgetown. Where is Germans? It’s on…
