Radio

If you are Haitian you would call him Joozzzeph! If you are American you would call him Quincy M.D. (for watching the whole series on DVD), Joe, Texas Walker (again,for watching the whole series on DVD),Joseph or under the radar. But, today, he earned a new name, Radio. He rode up on his bike with this speaker attached to his Walkman. Of course, I didn't really think that it worked, I thought is was for looks, so I made him prove it to me. But, he proved me wrong because it did work.

From my experience Haitians are one of the most creative people I have ever seen. I have seen so many halves of things put together and driving down the street I lost count long ago. Half a bus, half a truck, half a pick-up truck it really doesn't matter it will serve just fine as a tap-tap. They are masters at making things work and to an American who knows very little of this gift that can be a good or a bad thing depending which end you are on. Are you buying or are you broken down on the side of the road. But in the case of Radio, it was a good thing. He is a great kid and will be leaving for the States soon. He knows to look for real Mexican food and not Taco Bell.
