... photos des dernières semaines. La vie ici, une sortie à la plage, de l'art local. Allez! <br><br>Vous allez bien, vous?<br><br>Bises<br><br>Marc <br><br>Hi group!<br><br>The honeymoon with Haiti is over, it really is. Yep. But no worries, I won't get a divorce. Staying here. Last week, I went through rough days, where all the local frustrations hit me. It took me 6 moths, in Viet Nam to get there, took me 3 months here. Getting better? <br><br>Got a ...

... 8221; as they were not being targeted. Apparently, the guard at El Rauncho was in cahoots with a thief who stole from the hotel (possibly from the hotel Casino). The guard had to make a show of trying to catch the thief, and my colleague and the woman with the eggs happened to be in the street at showtime. <br><br>El Rancho was not very raunchy in my opinion, though it did seem well past its heyday. Its sumptuous reception halls and elaborate swimming pools (complete with ...

... 8217;ai qu&#8217;une idée, sûrement en partie fausse, en partie vraie.<br><br>Mais cela n&#8217;empêche pas que j&#8217;ai le goût de connaître Haïti, car comme Ric***********state, y&#8217;a beaucoup de gens positifs, optimistes, qui veulent que les choses changent. L&#8217;art haïtien, entre autres, est développé, riche, plein de couleurs! Ya pas que la misère, ici, y&#8217;a un « bon vent », qu&#8217;il fait bon de sentir. <br><br>On ne ...

... en fait, dedans. Refuge vide.<br><br>Le soleil me tombe dru sur la tête, de très haut dans le ciel, il n&#8217;est que 10 heures du matin. Pas de brise. Premier point de service, petit coin à l&#8217;ombre d&#8217;un bâtiment désaffecté, digne de squatters, qui ferait certainement honneur aux meilleurs graffitistes de notre riche monde. Mais ici, ils n&#8217;ont même pas même la possibilité de se procurer les bombes aérosols&#8230;<br><br>Des mères chétives, des petits mal ...

... ability to adapt to all of the challenges and adversity life brings on a daily basis. It always makes you think about how easy our lives are in the states and it is hard not to feel guilty or wonder why?? As we flew out of Port Au Prince, I realized that I wasn't ready to leave Haiti. I began to feel tears in my eyes...I couldn't believe how sad I was to leave. My only wish is that I left a fraction of the impression on the people ...

... Gâté airport is a bit of a culture shock. There's just so many people in a tiny space, many of which are eager to make a buck by carrying luggage, selling stuff, or just plain begging. Right after the second or third guy tried to take my bag, I quickly discovered Super Assertive Martine - Sleep Deprived Edition 3.0. That kept them at bay. We paid $20 to stop a guy from stalking us.

... at dinnner-spicey okra (yummy) and corn mash. At night we sit on the porch for cocktails and it feels just like a tropical resort (with big spiders, cockroaches, smells, and sweat). The laughs are plentiful and I think everyone is having a great time. Big discussion on health care, is it a right or a privledge?

... dí cuenta que no, que no es así, y que no son tonterías. ¿Por qué pienso esto? Porque vivimos para la fiesta, por la fiesta, en la espera, en los preparativos, en la fiesta (que no es sino un distante instante), y luego vivimos del recuerdo, de las fotos, del video y de las crónicas. Porque la fiesta da sentido a la vida: a nuestras vidas y a las de cada uno. Cierro la nota antropológica. La estructura del Reveillon a los que fuí es la siguiente ...

... va al dispensario para ver a los pacientes. La tarifa de consulta es de 25 gourdes (como US$0.65 - de acuerdo a www.xe.com/ucc/ universal currency converter, 1 USD = 38.1330 HTG, o gourdes haitianos) - y la consulta es gratis para las personas que no pueden pagar.
