Update
Hi hi! How goes it? Last week was Carnival in Haiti. This year the national carnival happened outside of Port-au-Prince. I didn’t go but I heard it was beautiful, there were no violence contrary to the Carnival in Port-au-Prince. As for me I spent 3 lovely days at the beach with my friends. It was the absolute best. Now I’m at work, working on a report, I don’t like the soud of...
Life isn't a beach!
I just realized that I put a lot of photos of the beach on my blog. Ironically, I rarely go to the beach. I only happen to have my camera ready when there’s a beach involved. I live a pretty mundane and “normal” life. I go to work so I can have some money, I have a horrible commute, I hang out with my family and my dog during the weekends. At times, I go out to the bar with my...

All the towns and cities will have their own celebrations but the main one that usually takes...

Some weekends, however, I luck out and get invited to see the contryside either by friends or either through work. These are the times when you realize that life isn’t all that bad. Whether you eat the...

Speaking English in Public
I always avoid speaking English in public. When I’m in the tap taps (public transportation) I never pick up a phone call that could lead me to speak English. However over these last few months I have encountered people who speak English extremely loud on the small buses throughout their entire ride. Once, this couple got on the bus and this lady started speaking extremely loud in English,...
