I'm so homesick, it physically hurts. It's not long until I am on my way back, but the few months I have left, they really seem like a long period of time for me at the moment.
I really can't stand this constant brick+mortar+concrete "look" anymore, not to mention the weather here.
All I can think of is this:

Back to... Haiti? This post reminds me of reading various Caribbean culture and diaspora related books/articles. Been a long time since I read/did any work relating to Haiti though. Very interesting history though, would recommend to anyone historically inclined to read up on Haiti's history.

@Decay yeah. I've been away for long enough. Too long as is comfortable for sure.
For a "country" that small, Haiti's history is quite rich, though in most cases, when people look at history in the Caribbean vicinity, they tend stick to Cuba. Haiti is just "less visible" in comparison, as it would seem, but in spite of being a failed state, there's inspiration to be found in many ways. If you want a good example of a real-life sense of community, Haiti is worth a look. However poor, and at times "undereducated" the population may come across, there are great people there.
There's a mentality I'd deem second to none, though I am obviously very biased in that regard. It's just that I've never felt more welcome anywhere else, really.
