Things I Learned In Haiti

Things I learned in Haiti:

1. Haitians love to stare. It’s not rude or impolite.
2. They call white people blanc and boy did I hear that all the time!
3. If you have clogged the toilet, just add more water to help flush it down.
4. I have learned to love beans and rice because we had it with almost every meal.
5. I love Haitian traffic, the chaos and unpredictability is my jam.
6. Children and adults walk around naked in Haiti. Ain’t no big thang. 
7. Mosquitoes can and will bite you anywhere. I stopped counting after 80 bug bites on one leg.
8. Haitians eat the whole chicken, bone and all.
9. They believe bats come from rats just like butterflies come from caterpillars.
10. I have accepted and learned that I will be sweating for the next 11 months straight.
11. Haitians eat cats.
12. I learned if I just put a small smile at the end of my jokes, my sarcasm is funny internationally. 
13. If you put Grace in a truck, home girl can pass out quickly even if her head is bobbin all around.
14. Trash is thrown everywhere anytime.
15. Avocados are so enormous!
16. So after leaving Haiti, I still have about half of the dust with me.
17. I will miss everyone I met in Haiti, y’all have blessed me more than I could ever say!
