You know you’re in Haiti when…

The coolest place to sleep at your house is on your roof.

There’s a thin layer of dust everywhere.

You have an entourage of children following you the minute you walk out of your gate.

You eat rice and beans every day.

French and Creole are what you speak on the streets.

The buses look like murals.

People carry heavy things on their heads.

Water and electricity and gas go off and on.

The physical exertion of a worship service is the same as running a 5k.

You have to fight goats for the shady part of the street.
