So today I went on our errand run with Miguelson my translator and Fennel my security guard. We had to get some floor fans because last week the power was being weird and we burned out every single fan in this house!
Let me tell you about this ridiculous place- you walk in and they have floor samples of lots of electronics and stuff. There are three desks all next to each other with three women sitting at them. They were all watching a Spanish sopa opera dubbed in French, and they were TOTALLY into it.
Here's how it works- you decide what you want, and then tell the lady at Desk #2. She types up a long receipt. Then you take the receipt LITERALLY RIGHT NEXT TO HER to Desk #1 and pay and she gives a new receipt. Then you take the old and new receipts 5 STEPS AWAY to Desk #3, where she checks your ID just in case you switched identities between Desks 1 and 3 and then they bring the stuff out of the back rooms.
IT WAS A RIDICULOUS EXPERIENCE.
And another reason why Haiti is never a boring place.
P.S. I saw a SECOND Dentist/Gynecologist today. Yes, that's right. A SECOND. That means I have seen another one. It must be a thing around here. One stop shopping! :)
