Things you just have to get used to in Haiti

-Sweating most of the time
-Taking VERY cold showers
-Being a minority
-Not understanding a word anyone is saying around you
-Random Cows, Goats and Donkeys pretty much everywhere
-Sleeping in a mosquito net
-Always smelling like bug spray
-Constant dogs barking
-Not being able to sleep in even if you have a day off
-Spider webs and spiders everywhere
-Rats in your room at night
-Eating lots of rice
-Hand washing clothes & hanging them out to dry
-People walking up the mountain carrying large buckets and such on their heads and never breaking a sweat
-Men carrying machetes
-Walking into a store and the “guard” up front has a massive gun 
The list goes on and on….TIH
