Rice and Diarrhea
Well as you can tell by the title this should be interesting and it really is. And if you don't really like slighly graphic things than read no further. So since we've gotten here...well since we've got back from the mountian village we've had some problems with people being sick. Diarrhea the most common and experienced by everyone! I think they call it Haitian Happiness, cause most people get it when they first come here for a while. Which is NOT a fun thing let me tell you! Some have had it for up to 2 and a half weeks now. It isn't a very pleasent thing when your insides are churning and feel like they are gonna come out either end - meaning mouth and butt - at the same time! Although it is possible and did happen to someone on our team. lol And then when you get to meal time you realize that you get what you have had EVERY OTHER DAY - that's it, you got it, rice...some more rice...and then some more rice. lol It is quite exciting let me tell you. Although it is very stable to always know what we are having for dinner here. I was a fan of rice before, you can ask my Mom, I was one of the only people in my family who actually liked it. But now I don't want to eat rice for at least month when I get home. Although I am afriad that when we go back and start eating other things - such as pizza, steak, burgers, cheese, well anything other than rice, chicken, and mangos we might get sick. Sorry if that sounds like complaining...cause I don't meant it to be...I am very greatful to be able to eat every day three times a day. I just am not a huge fan of the way it is decided to come out my butt. haha We do have some interesting topics at the table though. Some about how they wish it would stop coming, and one girl who hasn't gone anything - solid or explosive - in a week..so she is slightly wishing for anything right now cause it is starting to hurt. lol So there is some interesting news from here in Haiti.
