The other day, by chance, I looked at Google Maps to search for the various villages to discover during our trip to the U.S. and I've found something that left me puzzled . Going on the screen from California, to Mexico, I moved the mouse over the Caribbean, to understand where exactly are these paradise islands, in a sense, similar to the Maldives. At first glance I thought wrong, then checking it again, I was certain, Santo Domingo, post requested by many, known for tourist resorts, mojito and cuba libre at will is nothing but on the same island of Haiti, where 12 Last January, a terrible earthquake destroyed everything.
I find the contrast between two realities, too strong. On the one hand, that of Port-au-Prince, 70% of the population is infected with HIV, on the other, Italian tourists (and others) will have the caipiroska drink under the palm trees, showing off I-phone and French manicure. Haiti is the poorest country in the Caribbean, Santo Domingo is home to the resort.
I wonder if those who go into the villages have a vague idea of \u200b\u200bwhere they are?
