wags Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 So, I am leaving for Haiti on Saturday. I'll be there for a good amount of time. I was wondering if any of you guys have been there and can tell me places I need to see, any experiences, any food I should try.. that kind of stuff. I know it's not really a hot spot to travel, but maybe a couple of you have been there. Yeahhh, and if you can give me any travel safety tips for a female in a corrupt place, lemme know hahah. :D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampFightOner Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Why don't you go to the other side of the island and have a good time at a resort? Channel Zero folk sure do like to travel to some weird destinations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUGR Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Be careful. My friends family lived there in the late 80's early 90's. All he told me he remembered was gunfire on the regular and that his house security guard was murdered in front of his house...RIP. BTW are you going for work or play.

Plus it's cool to travel with/visit someone who knows local stuff instead of sticking to the tourist bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gat Bush Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I'm sayin'. I've been checking out some of the intensive Spanish programs where you stay with a host family and all that jazz. They look good and aren't overly expensive, but I don't think the host family would take me to the right club to meet teh ladies and get wasted/not get beat up and robbed.

Tavaruawon Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 hah! Really though... I only know of one person who's gone to Haiti and had anything decent to say about it. Homeboy stayed in Jacmel on the South side of the island. He did bring back a lot of interesting pictures. I really doubt you're going to get any inside knowledge from the oontz set on this one. Google is your friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STAN51 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Grew up with Haitians and my next door neighbors are a Haitian family. My ex roommate (white boy) went there for a couple of days to pick up his crazy mother and his his granmother who has Alzheimer's cuz they got in to some crazy situation where the bf of the mother was extorting them. some gutter type shit! Some real heavy stuff, i feel bad for my boy. All this to say that i only heard bad things about it. I hope everything works out for you! Take flicks, start a thread.

george jetson Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 my buddy went there a few years ago... said it was probably one of the worst places on the planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Definitely worst place in the western hemisphere from what I know and filled with AIDS. Not to say it wouldn't be an experience and there aren't any good people there. I'd watch out though and bring porn and lotion, Haitian AIDS must eat through latex like acid.

kolohe Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 7.3 according to dom rep news. my wife and our daughter is in dom rep right now (she's from puerto plata.) i was on the phone with her and in the middle of the conversation she's like "ohhhh shit there's an earthquake!!" then the phones went down and i didnt hear from them for 15min (longest 15min of my life) wifey's internet jus came back so she told me what happened on i.m. i guess it didnt hit d.r. too hard but haiti got rocked. my daughter was napping at the time i guess she didnt even wake up from the earthquake only commotion in the streets after it was done. there's also a tsunami watch on the north coast of domrep. i've never been over the border to haiti, but i've heard it gets pretty real over there. my wife's dad said they eat dirt cookies and rotting goat heads with worms crawling in them. like they literally make cookies from dirt, animal fat, and sugar. edit: update from wifey i guess the skies in haiti are full of dust they say it looks like katrina over there. (even more than it normally does) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
