Sweet hello, Manda!Right now I am reading one simple and very nice book about carnival in Jacmel, written by Edwidge Danticat. Carnival has special palce in every caribbean society...what are your experiences with carnivals? Btw, how have you been?
Bèl bonjou zanmi m!
Ah! Carnival time in Haiti, where both men and women may take to the streets, with as little as a straw skirt, to dance the night away.
Kanaval se tan plezi
Tan kè kontan
Tan tout moun abiye tout koulè
Pou ale danse kole kole
Se tan bèl mizik tou
Gen moun k’ ap danse Konpa
Gen moun k’ap danse Rara
Si ou te Ayiti, zanmi m
Mwen panse ou ta danse Zouk :)
Anpil chalè
I'm happy for this day because it is thanksgiving and I am thankful for you in my life. (in Creole please)
Mwen kontan pou jou sa a, paske se Thanksgiving. E M'ap bay remèsiman paske ou nan lavi m.
