Royal Haitian Port-au-Prince

... Sur Google Earth est pointé l'Hôtel Montana, où Richard a passé 2 mois, et moi 1 mois avant d'avoir la maison.<br> <br> Maintenant, le centre-ville est une zone dévastée et encore dangereuse, où on ne s'y aventure pas le soir. Lorsqu'il y a des manifestations, c'est là où habituellement ça se passe: autour du gouvernement, des facultés, des ministères. Et même le jour, on ne fait qu'y passer au travers, en voiture, pour se rendre ailleurs. J'ai pas de photos de cette "dévastation ...

... gardées par des agents de sécurité (parfois armés). Y'a évidemment des « mansions » grandioses, vertes et fleuries, avec sécurité, barbelés, caméras de surveillance...<br><br>· Il ne fait pas froid, comme au Viet Nam, entre le moment où on ferme le robinet de douche et le moment où on s'essuie. Je n'ai pas vu de chaufferette dans aucune chambre de bain encore. :-) :-) :-)<br><br>· Sécurité. On a appris que les ...

... to tradition that we are able to understand although we do not speak the language. After Mass, three people from the community get up and speak at length (and here we complain about a measly few announcements taking up our time). In total the service lasts over two hours. Afterwords we wander out into the community. We are a curiosity for sure. The atmosphere is joyous with almost a mini-festival feel. This ...

... before. Many did not know how to use a flushing toilet. A little kid with a club foot, a man with a huge testicular mass, a woman with a cyst protruding out of her stomach, a little boy with a cleft lip. <br><br>This is why I am here. Because I can complain about my feet hurting instead of just thinking about the next meal. Because I have access to health care and I have a roof over my head. "You're right, Mike."<br><br>It's been nearly two weeks since we arrived in Haiti. I've ...

... aware that I am staying in a well established, hotel, I travel in an elevated SUV with a Haitian driver, I eat at a well stocked buffet. That will all change. I cant wait. In the "relief shelter tension mounted as the residents did not understand what we were doing there. With our white skin, we should be arriving with food. Why were we asking so many questions? They are hungry, why were we asking about their plans for going home? Why did we want to ...

... plug in the Ipod and have a rowdy sing-a-long. Halfway there we are stopped by an out-of-gas tap-tap. Luckily the are able to get out of the way. We do pick up a small family who is traveling to PAP. There two year old is suffering severely from malnutrition. They are headed to the Children's Hospital so they climb in with us. People gather at the side of the road and wave Bonsoir! We pass a few rivers and apparently it is bathing day. Cover your eyes ...

... I showered with a pitcher of purified water, at least I didn't have to worry about opening my mouth. Three of the guys left at 7:30, we hoped to straighten out the truck situation. Some of us went up on the roof. The immensity of the city and situation really hits you up there. It is ironic that you see the beautiful ocean, gorgeous mountains, and then the worst of possible slums in the foreground. Especially considering the ...

... tercera fecha en que me di cuenta que, al caer el sol, la ciudad se transforma y es otra. Verdaderamente el Dr. Jeykill urbano se duerme, y por las calles se pasea Mr. Hyde ¡con tanto contento! Volviendo... el reveillon de la Pre Grand Chorale estuvo buenazo: era pequeño y de pequeños, pero aún así raspe suela. En el del ENSEMBLE 7 me quedé con ganas del bailongo con la chica más guapa de la fiesta, que era nada más y nada menos que Catherine Napoleón ...

... En español se llama "En busca de espiritualidad" de Editorial Lumen. Postdata: Rolheiser no es solo un oblato, sino un oblatazo. MISIóN EN LA SECULARIDAD Fui al cine - una experiencia muy interesante. La sala es similar a una pequeña sala de cine en México sin aigre acondicionado - pero de las viejas, sin sonido surraund. Las películas son en dividí proyectadas a una pantalla grande por un cañón. El sonido (demasiado alto - pero funcionó, porque la ...

... began massaging the lotion into her brown arms, withered like the discarded skin of a snake left shriveling in the sun. Sores punctured her arms here and there, like a volcanic range, leaving dark scars and puckered marks. They weren't oozing, so I rubbed the lotion over them too, wincing inside as I covered her fragile arms with my firm hands. I couldn't tell how old the girl was, perhaps my age, but time and leprosy had eaten away at her, until all that was left was skin ...
