Hello everyone,
Have you listened to a Haitian Creole song today?
Have you listened to a Haitian radio program today?
Have yousung hummed a Haitian Creole song today?
well, keep listening...
My washing machine is broken today. I had to wash some of my kid's school clothes by hand today. It was only about seven pieces of clothing thank God! And it's a good thing that my dryer is working.
I remember when I was in Haiti I used to go to the river every Saturday with a humongous pile of clothes (mine and my siblings'). I'd wash these clothes by hand, spread them over a pile of rocks, and wait an excruciating two hours for them to dry in the sun. Then I'd fold'em, pack'em and bring them back home. I hated to wash my brothers' pairs of Jeans.
When my mom first traveled to the USA in 1975 she complained that the washing machine wasn't doing as good a job as she could do by hands. She still washed most of her clothes by hand.
It is good to live in the USA. When I first traveled here I was thankful for electricity. I couldn't believe we had electricity 24/7. In Haiti we had electricity a couple hours during the day and maybe for about an hour at night. Some people did not have electricity at all. So at night, during exam times, when the lights came on you could see groups of students gathered under each street light poles studying in the dim lights. My cousin, Michel, was in law school. I remember his nightly trip to the light pole. He is now a judge in Aux Cayes, South of Haiti.
