Y.O.L.I.H.O. -- You Only Live In Haiti Once


Moto: A motorcycle turned into a taxi-cab. Should only fit 2 passengers and 1 driver. 



Gururguru: What Haitians call the earthquake from 2010 because thats the sound the ground made. (according to Scott Turner)



Tap-Tap: A form of public transportation in Haiti. It consists of a truck with benches in the bed of the truck and a cover on top. When you have reached your destination, you tap the side a few times and the driver stops. Hence the name "Tap-tap".
Usually tap-taps are painted in crazy colors and have "Jesus" written somewhere.



Buses in Haiti: A bus in Haiti is a minivan with no air conditioning and at least 4 people on every row. Not as cheap as a tap tap and usually used for longer trips. You just shout at the driver when you are ready to get off.
