Haitian Radio Show in English = bad idea/ hilarious
Q: Do you like Rap Music?
A: Yes, Especially R&B and Techno
Q: Thats not Rap...
A: Yeah, that's why I said Especially
Interviews such a this and others similar kept me awake and entertained on the longgggg curvy dark car ride from Port Au Prince back to Les Cayes. I was especially alert and entertained as the show’s host and guest debated the true meaning of the word “Shawdy”.
I was extra grateful for the distraction provided by these humorous broadcastings as I tried not to notice the driver’s compulsive door locking and praying. Each time he made the sign of the cross in front of his chest and forehead I was positive we were moments away from meeting our demise.
Fortunately, after five hours of holding my breath we arrived safely.
Dropping my bags in my rat-infested house with a sigh of relief, I quickly discovered the water to be out. However, a resourceful Gracious had planned ahead, leaving buckets and bowls out in the rain. As I happily bathed in the chilly but fresh rain water, and flushed the toilette with the sloshing-a-bucket-o-water into the toilette trick, I couldn’t help but think about how much happier I was in Haiti, than I had been in the freezing cold Dominican Republic hotel room that had been my prison for the past week.
Good to be home!
