I spent my second WE in PaP which was pretty nice.
I finally found a house but will be able to move in only in May. Actually, I will take the house of a former colleague from Abidjan who came to work in MINUSTAH last September. It is funny because we used to leave in the same compound in Abidjan, Residence Cascades in 2 Plateaux. The house is located in a nice and secure compound 5 to 10 minutes drive to the Office. My office mate, Vaness is also leaving there which is quite handy for the car sharing (here we are not allowed to take public transports and there are almost none anyway so it can be difficult to move around without a car). The house is on three different levels, the 3 rooms are upstairs, the living room downstairs and the dinner room and kitchen in the middle floor. There is also a small garden with direct access to the swimmimg pool. We (Aspa and myself) have already planned to organize a house warming party yay!
At the moment we are staying in the house of a colleague (he is from Guinea) who went on leave. We moved in last Saturday and already almost blown up his house with gas and finished the whole water tank because of a water leak in the bathroom…No comments. I think the landlord is already missing Saliou and might think that we are real nuisances.
On Sunday, we went to Fort Jacques and Kenscoff, up in the mountains. It was beautiful, there is a nice view of PaP from up there (see pictures).
Yesterday evening Aiss cream arrived in Haiti and went directly to Leogane (a city located an hour away from PaP). I have not seen her yet. For the Eastern break, I would like to go to Santo Domingo with her, Aspa and some other friends. We will see if there are still some tickets left.
I am getting used to Haiti little by little....still not used to wake up at 6 am everyday boo.
I wish you all a nice Easter.
