There is a saying that most Guyanese use to identify their roots after they have voluntarily immigrated or simply fled to another country. When we say, "My navel string is buried in Guyana" we simply mean: We will meet one another decades later and feel as if it was yesterday, reminiscing about our beloved land; lapsing into the language only a fellow Guyanese can understand. A famous Australian crooner said "I still call Australia home" and I can assure you that saying applies to Guyanese who have immigrated to every corner of the globe.
