We had a day out in town yesteday, shopping for some supplies for the seminary...chalk, mops and machetes, you know, the normal things. Throughout the day I was able to catch some "everyday" pictures of how one does shopping in Haiti. First is the pharmacy, then how to buy soap or plastic bowls. You stand in line, point to what you want, take your list to another counter, stand in line to pay, and then get in a 3rd line to have them fill the orden. Picture 3 and 4 show how to buy pants or schoolbooks. Finally, the dry cleaner! Every store specializes in one or two products, so yesterday took us 5 hours and 6 stores to get 20 things...where is the Wal-Mart!?! :)
