New Year's in Haiti

After breakfast, Natasha takes me to a slum area of Port-au-Prince (PAP) to visit an orphanage and a school where she works. It's very very interesting to see since the life here is so completely different from say Sweden or USA. Even at Natasha's place, things are not exactly the way I'm used to at home. For example, there's no running water so we have to go get water from a well.

Tonight we're having a new year's party at Natasha's place. Jason and I spend most of the evening cooking and grilling. There's also beer and dancing. Suddenly it's 2009 and everyone is hugging and kissing. After midnight I leave with two Haitian girls to a club called Jet Set in Petionville, a rich suburb. There are plenty of westerners here, something you don't see in other places in PAP, they turn out to be from the UN peace keeping Mission in Haiti. It's a good day. A great end to 2008 and start for 2009!
