Random thoughts

Hello again! I am taking advantage of the fact that I still have internet to write again! Just wanted to write a couple of things about Haiti before I forget:
- I hate cockroaches, especially when they fly in your hair.
- I also hate ants that bite. Though I found them quite interesting when they walked in a little line up my mosquito netting and ate the dead mosquito that I killed there a couple of days ago.
- Haitian rum and Haitian coffee are two beautiful things.
- Buying a huge bag of mangoes on the street for something like $2 rocks.
- There is no such thing as multigrain bread, hot water showers, or vegetarianism here.
- Virtually all volunteers have developed some kind of bad habit while here - for some it is smoking, but for me, I am now the diabetic who drinks the occasional Coca Cola! What??!! Bad, bad diabetic. Though I have to say that since being in Haiti in this scorching heat, I've become mostly non-diabetic. Only 1-2 insulin injections per day, instead of 4-5. In some kind of weird way, despite the copious amounts of fried food, refined sugar and lack of vegetables in our diet here, I have actually become more healthy!
- It is not unusual to receive daily marriage proposals from Haitian men. They are very, very persistent.
- My dorm room now seems eerily quiet with Amy gone and Tanya sleeping in her own room! I've lost Elleana and Amy all in one week! Luckily a new volunteer is coming soon... Until then I will play musical beds.
