1. Even though there are 2 lane roads, it is acceptable to have 2-4 cars driving simultaneously while going any direction. Idahoans, our driving skills would never hold up here.
2. Goats, cows, dogs roam freely... even in the city.
3. Car horns are always honking. Horns are not used in the same way we use them for. They are used to inform pedestrians, motorcyclists, and those alike that they are close and to get out of the way please.
4. You are not to drive slow. You will get passed on the left and on the right. Sometimes, at the same time.
5. Motorcycles rule the road. They weave in and out of traffic at all times. 100% acceptable. Their may be anywhere from 1-4 people at a time on a motorcycle.
6. The roads are heavily congested. However, traffic rarely comes to a stop.
8. Haitian's dress to impress. We could take take note on their insistence on looking presentable at all times.
9. Blinkers are not used here.
10. Common transportation here is called a (Tap Tap). This resembles a cab, sort of. Most of them are older pick ups with a shell or a van. You run and jump on them to get a ride and you (Tap Tap) when you are ready to get off. We are still trying to figure out how one is supposed to know where they are going.
11. You can ride in, around, or on top of any vehicle.
12. Anywhere can be a market
The list could go on and on..
