Walking in Petionville, Port au Prince, Haiti

I am walking in Petionville, Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Petionville is one of the modern suburbs of Port-au-Prince. There is a lot of nightlife and restaurants here. This is a bustling city and there is a lot going on.
I started my walk from Royal Oasis Hotel and ended at Pompe Gasoline Sol. I showing the streets of Haiti and everyday life.

@Robert Hamilton Port au Prince represents only 20% of the country, this is where we find corrupt politicians who can easily be bribed by some opportunistic foreigners. if you've done business there you know the clintons have held this country for quite some time, money from the earthquake and so on, again thanks to the corrupt politicians who love to hug the foreigners behind. I am sure you know that my second home has enough natural resources for every Haitian to live a prosperous life in their homeland.

I saw no one with any face masks for the virus protection. It is like no one was worried about getting sick. It, Petionville, is also rumored to be a well-off section of Haiti compared to other sections of the country. We did see upscale, late-model automobiles while he was walking.

I have to agree that Haiti is the closest you can get to being in Africa in the western hemisphere.

Is it frowned upon for men to wear shorts for some reason? I would think because of the heat, everybody would be wearing shorts. Like I said, I've noticed this in other Caribbean countries also.

[@jolly7728]

Some West Indian countries are quite conservative, and the style of dress is a reflection of a certain orthodoxy -- likely a carryover from religious traditions put in place during colonization. Just guessing, though.

[@MrGnarus]

Very formal, culturally.

[@gennisparry4352]

The standard dress wear for men in the Caribbean is long pants. The people are used to the heat, they were born and raised there, so your body is used to it. Actually I don’t know what heat you’re talking about, it’s just a tropical place where the sun shines every day. It’s summer all year round. It’s NOT like the humidity experienced in America during the summer months.
