"That's Haiti"


<---

The other day we hopped on a usually over-crowded tap-tap to find it almost empty, except for a woman and this little guy, on his way to become supper...! There's a saying we've learned for moments like this, when something is typical for Haiti (a really bad road, no electricity, or a chicken on a tap-tap): "Sa Ayiti"-- "That's Haiti."


Once they left, we had the whole tap-tap to ourselves... and then realized we had ridden 20 minutes in the wrong direction, turning our 45 minute commute into a 2 hour road trip.... Sa Ayiti!

  1. I Hait it when that happens. We've all done it but it's certainly more understandable when you don't speak the language and are in a strange new place.
