Apre 20 a 30 lane, tout moun ap bwase nan kan pa yo, ou pa konn kiles ki te kay mere, ni kiyes ki te lekol national... Aprann ABC w tande pitit, epi konen kisa w vle...

June 2019, The Haitian currency is approaching 100 gourdes for one US dollar. All of this Haitian money you see here, it's only worth about 50 dollars US.

If you count it, there is 5,000 gourdes here, once upon a time it was worth about 1,000 dollars US, nowadays it's only worth a measly 50 bucks!

When I was growing up in Haiti, a U.S. quarter was 'Goud e ka' (1.25 Gourdes) and 5 gourdes was equivalent to ONE U.S. Dollar. it was written right on the currency. Read more Haitian Money - Why has the Haitian currency depreciated so much in value?

Virtually 90 percent of the rice sold in Haiti is American Rice. Whether is says diri Mega, diri Bongu or diri Tchako, it's all American rice. Once upon a time Haiti was self-sufficient in producing rice.

Growing up in Haiti I used to eat diri pilon, diri chode, all Haitian rice grown on the country side.

I remember going to the countryside at my auntie's house she they would hand us kids a quantity of rice with the husk where would put it in a "pilon" and mash the living daylight out of it to remove the kernel (pay diri a) but the rice bran (the outer layer of the rice kernel) and the germ would would remain, all nutritious, all good for you.

Do you know why rice is sole white and why the bran was removed? Read the related article below.

Times are hard in Haiti these days, the average Haitian consumer cannot afford all the produce needed for the family meal.

Yes, you to market and you see all these foods, rice, corne, beans etc, but the money in your pocket, if any, cannot afford to buy it because most if not all these products are imported and you have to buy it "au taux du jour" (at the current exchange rate).

"The Haitian middle class of today exists between poverty and misery," says Haitian politician Louis Gonzague Edner Day.

My wife goes to the gym almost everyday and keeps asking how she can get a flatter stomach and a bigger buttocks, what Haitians call "gwo bouda!"

There are many videos on you youtube with workouts for a bigger butt. I even saw a 3 minute butt workout but, after watching this video, my wife told me she does that everyday and seems to be getting the results she is looking for.

If you have you own exercise that give you a flatter tummy and a very nice looking bouda, please share!
