After a couple of very quiet months we are finally starting to have a social life. The credit goes to Inbal for being a friendly open person.
Still – in the last 2 weeks of cholera, political unrest and upcoming elections our little bubble went to a few nice restaurants, been to 3 concerts (classical music, local bands and a semi-international band called magic systems) and even attended a pool side barbeque. The Haitian elite live a very good life that includes regular flights to Europe and the US, shopping and eating in places that would be considered expensive for anyone who is not Japanese. When we stay in the city over-night we sleep in the mansion of a family that started renting a few rooms after the earthquake. Attaching some photos of how the ‘other side’ lives.
