I returned from Leogane, Haiti, late last night. After an In-N-Out Burger to celebrate a late 4th of July, I spent some quality time with my two kitties and called it a night. Today I've been catching up with a month's worth of snail mail, email, and other realities. I'll be posting some pix and stories of my month-long adventure doing humanitarian work in earthquake ravaged Haiti. The trip involved tarantulas, lightning storms, Creole, and lots and lots of rubble. I can't wait to share my experience.

Unfortunately I couldn't post anything while overseas. Our internet connection had limited bandwidth, which was shared by 100+ international volunteers. It was such a bad connection that it'd sometime take literally 30 minutes to load one email using basic HTML. So blogs on SG weren't gonna happen. Facebook mysteriously worked well, which no one could explain, but everything else was as fast as 1997 dial-up.

I also regret not being able to send letters to the generous folks who donated money to my cause. It was my plan to personally thank each person with a letter sent from Haiti. However, Haiti doesn't have much public works like water and sanitation. So as you may figure, postal services don't exist except for FedEx, if one is lucky enough to encounter them.

So in the meantime, please wait patiently for me to reacquaint myself with my default life. More to come soon on my Haitian trip.

Mwah!
