Guyana is brought to you by Guyana Gyal from Georgetown, the capital of Guyana.

Guyana is one of the few non-Spanish speaking countries in South America. This post explains more about Guyanese English (Creolese)

Guyana Gyal has a great way with words, as she ponders over Michael Jackson’s ability to bridge generations and cultures, or what will happen to Guyana’s rainforest.

Have a read and let her stories take you there.

Ugandan Insomniac is written by Tumwijuke, a 30-something journalist from Uganda.

Her thoughtful and often funny posts reflect on everything from her favourite Ugandan towns (in case you were wondering they are Mbale, Kabale, Arua, Fort Portal and Kisoro) to health care centres without doctors.

It’s an interesting way to see life in a changing country.

Harassed Mum is written by LauraKim, a free spirit from Pretoria, South Africa.

She writes about her busy life as a single mum who is also studying. Exams finished this week so we would also like to say congratulations!

Not too busy to stop caring about others though - The South African blogosphere is currently campaigning to help out their friend who needs help for her son and LauraKim is one of the main organisers.

Thanks a lot to Louisa (previously featured in 123 South Africa on Blogs of the World) for taking the time to suggest some of her favourite South African blogs. This was one of them and we hope to feature more in future.

Now let’s hear from you. Do you think being a mother in South Africa sounds different to your country, or are there many things the same?

Written by Julie in Buenos Aires, Argentina, today’s Blog of the World is a cross-cultural experience on its own - every post is written in Spanish and English.

Julie is a mum and likes to sing, write, read, sew and knit, so these are the things which feature most in El mundo de Julie en el mundo / Julie’s world in the world. It’s a friendly place and a look at the creative side of life in Argentina.
