What I have learned about Haiti

  1. The trucks they transport people in are called tap-taps... because when the people want out, they tap-tap on the side of the truck to let the driver know.
  2. there are a total of like 3 ATM's in the country, and the one that we stopped at today I was told is not in working order normally.
  3. Stuff that doesn't get eaten the first day or so, goes stale REALLY really quickly, especially if it's not closed very well. :grin:
  4. Frozen chips are actually really good! (byproduct of the last one... :grin:)
  5. It is cheaper for me to call out of Haiti, than for people to call in. :grin: (So, if you want me to call you, you can donate some money to my trip, and I will use that money to buy a phone card and call you! :grin: Just be sure to include in the comments what number you want me to call! It costs about 2.50 for 20 minutes.)

  1. In Antigua, Guatemala there's a restaurant called "Mono Loco" that advertises "Nachos as big as your head!" Perhaps in Haiti, they could advertise "Tarantulas as big as your head!" :)
