This is a little late since we’re in Haiti now, but I’m planning on posting one of these for each country. Hopefully it will make you smile and be thankful for the American luxuries you enjoy everyday!
You know you’re a World Racer in the DR when…
1. Men hiss at you like snakes as you walk down the street (this one only applies to women). You may also get the occaisonal, “Hey, white girl!” yelled at you from a car window.
2. Living in a 4-bedroom house with 50 people becomes your everyday routine.
3. The bouncer with the large rifle guarding the grocery store entrance is a photo opp.
4. The best tacos you’ve ever had are less than $2, and you will walk two miles in the pouring rain to get them.
5. The hot sauce served with the tacos makes you cry, but you keep coming back for more cause it’s that good.
6. Bulls, cows and chickens are common front-yard finds in suburban areas.
7. Toilet paper goes in the garbage rather than the toilet.
8. Your group of 50 Americans buys out the entire city’s supply of Coke Light (aka Diet Coke, but somehow much better than in the U.S.)
9. Your team argues over whether to spend an extra 100 pesos on Skippy rather than generic peanut butter, since you’re eating it for lunch everyday.
10. God blesses you richly with amazing hospitality, new friends and His love for this country!
