Ways I have not become Haitian
1. I still like my alone time
2. I still like having times of silence
3. I don't wake up at the break of dawn or before
4. I Do NOT like Roosters or listening to them "sing" before the sun comes up
5. I don't write my last name first


Ways I need to be more "Haitian"
1. Have better concept of space (especially in driving)
2. Be able to balance and carry objects on my head
3. Haitians have a way of totally releasing every muscle in their body, especially when they sit, travel, or whatever. I have yet to be able to do this well, but I have made some progress from my normally tense self!
