Haiti
Haiti was discovered by Christopher Columbus on December 5, appearing first in the opening of his expedition to India. Names
of La Hispaniola, he became the first point of contact of European
civilization with the Indian cultures of the New World, becoming in the
arena of bloody clashes between the tribes who inhabited the land and
the Taino Arawaks, who called him Kiskeya ("Mother Land"). Most
of the Taino Indians ("friendly people"), who saved, by the way, the
crew lands on the reefs of the caravel Santa Maria, were ruthlessly
exterminated in some quarter of a century by the Spaniards and
introduced their illnesses, and their lands turned into a source of
enrichment of the Spanish crown. However,
their words, is widely known throughout the world, "Haiti", "barbecue",
"tobacco", "canoe" and "hammock" to live on Earth so far.
MODE OF STAY AND MOVEMENT
Shops
are generally open from Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 12:00 and from
13:00 to 16:00 on Saturdays, most shops are open from 08:00 to 12:00. Many
cities in the country have a good selection of shops and private shops
and markets selling everything you need at reasonable prices, but you
should pay particular attention to price tags - many outlets operate in
the designation of goods prices by three currencies - the Haitian
gourdes, Haitian dollar and U.S. dollars, what causes constant confusion. The present value of any commodity may be for "blanc" (foreigner), the most terrible secret of the country. Here you can pay $ 1 for a great lunch at a street cafe or $ 50 for it too, but in some restaurant. Decent
hotels are usually quite expensive ($ 70 per day), while budget hotels
exhibit very reasonable prices ($ 8 per day), but are still not very
comfortable or safe.
Can
be traded in markets and individual shops, large stores it is quite
useless - the prices are usually fixed, but discounts are given a very
limited number of stores.
