Inā mākaukau ʻoe no kahi huakaʻi, ke kāhea nei ʻo Port Au Prince i kou inoa. Me kona moʻomeheu olaola, ka mōʻaukala waiwai, a me nā ʻāina hoʻonanea, he mea ko kēia kūlanakauhale no kēlā me kēia kanaka.

No laila e hoʻopili i kāu ʻeke a mākaukau e ʻike i ke kūʻokoʻa e like me ka wā ma mua ma Port Au Prince.
ʻO ka manawa maikaʻi loa e kipa aku ai iā Port Au Prince
Inā ʻoe e hoʻolālā nei i kahi huakaʻi i Port Au Prince, ʻo ka manawa maikaʻi loa e kipa aku ai i ka wā maloʻo mai Nowemapa a ʻApelila. ʻO kēia ka wā e ʻoluʻolu ai ka ʻāina, me nā mahana wela a me ka liʻiliʻi o ka ua. ʻO ia hoʻi ka manawa maikaʻi loa e hele ai i ka huakaʻi ma Port Au Prince, no ka mea, mālama maikaʻi ʻia nā ala ala a hiki ke hele.

Ma waho aʻe o ka holoholo ʻana, aia kekahi mau ʻahaʻaina kaulana i hana ʻia ma Port Au Prince i kēia kau. ʻO kekahi o ia ʻahaʻaina ʻo Carnival, e hāʻule mau ana i Pepeluali a i ʻole Malaki. He hoʻolauleʻa ikaika ia i hoʻopiha ʻia me ke mele, ka hula, a me nā lole waihoʻoluʻu. ʻO kahi ʻahaʻaina kaulana ʻē aʻe ʻo Fête de la Musique, i mālama ʻia i Iune, kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hauʻoli i nā hana ola e nā mea hoʻokani pila.
ʻO nā mea hoʻokipa maikaʻi loa ma Port Au Prince
I ka ʻimi ʻana iā Port Au Prince, ʻelua mau mea nui e hoʻomanaʻo: pono e ʻike i nā ʻāina ʻāina a me nā mea huna kūloko.

Pono e ʻike i nā ʻāina
Pono ʻoe e kipa aku i ka Cathedral iconic of Our Lady of the Assumption i ka wā e ʻimi ana iā Port-au-Prince. ʻO kēia haku hana hoʻohiwahiwa kamahaʻo kekahi o nā pōhaku huna o ke kūlanakauhale, kahi ʻāina moʻomeheu e haʻalele iā ʻoe i ka mahalo.
Eia ʻekolu kumu e pono ai ʻoe e ʻike i kēia hale pule nani:

- Lewa maluhia: E hoʻomaha iki e noho me ka noʻonoʻo mālie a i ʻole e hele i kahi Mass e ʻike i ka leʻaleʻa i loko o kēia mau paia laʻa.
ʻO ka kipa ʻana i kēia moʻomeheu moʻomeheu ʻaʻole e hoʻonui i kou ʻike Ka moolelo o Haiti akā hāʻawi pū i ke ʻano o ke kūʻokoʻa i kou ʻimi ʻana i kona ʻano ʻuhane. Mai poina i kēia mākaʻikaʻi kupanaha i kāu huakaʻi i Port-au-Prince!
Na Momi Makani Huna
ʻO kekahi o nā pōhaku makamae i hūnā ʻia ma Port-au-Prince, ʻo ia ka Marché en Fer, kahi mākeke paʻakikī kahi e ʻike ai ʻoe i nā mea hana lima kūikawā a me nā meaʻai kūloko.
ʻO kēia waiwai huna he hōʻike maoli ia o ka moʻomeheu Haitian a hāʻawi i kahi ʻike ma waho o ke ala no ka poʻe e ʻimi nei i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo.
I kou hele ʻana ma nā ala haiki o ka mākeke, e hoʻohauʻoli ʻia ʻoe i nā waihoʻoluʻu a me ka lewa ola e hoʻopuni ana iā ʻoe.
Mai nā hīnaʻi i ulana ʻia a hiki i nā kiʻi lāʻau i kālai ʻia e ka lima, he nui nā waiwai e kali nei e ʻike ʻia.
Mai poina i ka ʻai ʻana i nā meaʻai alanui Haitian e like me ka griot (puaʻa palai) a i ʻole akra (malanga fritters).
ʻAʻole ʻo Marché en Fer kahi wahi kūʻai a ʻai wale nō; he kaiapuni moʻomeheu ia e waiho ana iā ʻoe me nā hoʻomanaʻo poina ʻole.
Mea ʻai kūloko a me nā hale ʻai ma Port au Prince
Inā makemake ʻoe i ka meaʻai, ʻaʻole makemake ʻoe e poina i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i kekahi o nā kīʻaha Haitian pono e hoʻāʻo i kou kipa ʻana i Port Au Prince.
Mai ka griot ʻono, ka puaʻa marinated i lawelawe ʻia me ka pikliz, a i ke kīʻaha hōʻoluʻolu o ka soup joumou, i leʻaleʻa maʻamau i ka lā Makahiki Hou, ʻo ka meaʻai kūloko e hōʻoluʻolu i kou ʻono.
A i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā hale ʻaina maikaʻi loa ma Port Au Prince, e hauʻoli ʻoe i nā koho like ʻole i loaʻa.
Mai nā mea kūʻai alanui nani e hāʻawi ana i nā meaʻai alanui maikaʻi a hiki i nā hale hoʻokipa nani e hāʻawi ana i nā meaʻai ʻai Haitian a me ka honua.
Pono e ho'āʻo i nā meaʻai Haitian

Hoʻokomo kēia mau kīʻaha i nā ʻono ʻono o Haiti a e waiho iā ʻoe i ka makemake hou aʻe. No laila, e hele i mua, e makaikai i ka meaʻai kūloko ma Port au Prince a e ʻike i ke kūʻokoʻa e ʻono i kēlā me kēia ʻai!
ʻO nā hale ʻai maikaʻi loa ma Port Au Prince
E ʻoliʻoli i nā mea ʻai ʻai o Port Au Prince ma ke kipa ʻana i kekahi o nā hale ʻaina maikaʻi loa e hāʻawi ana i kahi ākea o nā meaʻai ʻono. Mai ka iʻa momona a hiki i ka ʻai kuʻuna Haitian, e ʻike ʻoe ia mea āpau ma kēia kūlanakauhale ikaika.
No ka poʻe e ʻimi nei e leʻaleʻa i kahi hiʻohiʻona ʻoiai e ʻono ana i ka meaʻai ʻono, pono ke kipa ʻia nā kaola hale ʻoi loa. ʻAʻole lawelawe kēia mau hale i nā cocktails kupaianaha akā hāʻawi pū kekahi i kahi leʻaleʻa poina ʻole.
A mai poina e makaʻala i ke kahua meaʻai alanui kaulana ma Port Au Prince! E hele ma waena o nā mākeke nui a ʻono i nā mea punahele kūloko e like me ka griot (puaʻa palai) a me ka akra (palai malanga fritters).
Inā he mea ʻai ʻoe a i ʻole ke ʻimi wale nei i kahi mea ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaina ʻaina, Port Au Prince loaʻa i kekahi mea no nā mea a pau.
E ʻimi ana i nā kahua mōʻaukala o Port Au Prince
ʻO ke kipa ʻana i nā wahi mōʻaukala o Port Au Prince he mea pono no kēlā me kēia huakaʻi. Ua piha ke kūlanakauhale i nā wahi hoihoi e hōʻike ana i kona mōʻaukala waiwai a me nā mea kupanaha hoʻolālā. Eia ʻekolu mau wahi pono e kipa aku ai e hoʻihoʻi iā ʻoe i ka manawa:
- Ka Halealii Lahui: I ka manawa i noho aupuni ai na peresidena Haitian, he mea nui ko keia hale hanohano. ʻOiai ua pōʻino loa ia i ka wā o ke ōlaʻi i ka makahiki 2010, ke kū mau nei kona mau wahi neoneo ma ke ʻano he hoʻomanaʻo ikaika no Haiti i hala.
- Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Port-au-Prince: Ua hoʻopau ʻia kēia hale pule kupanaha i ka makahiki 1914 a lilo i hōʻailona o ka manaʻoʻiʻo no nā kamaʻāina o ke kūlanakauhale. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ua hāʻule pū kekahi i ke olai weliweli; akā naʻe, ʻo kona koena e hoʻāla ai i ka manaʻo o ke kūpaʻa a me ka manaʻolana.
- Musée du Panthéon National Haïtien: ʻIke ʻia ʻo MUPANAH, hale kēia hale hōʻikeʻike i kahi hōʻiliʻili hoihoi o nā mea hana e haʻi i ka moʻolelo o ka hakakā ʻana o Haiti no ke kūʻokoʻa a me kāna hoʻoilina moʻomeheu. Mai nā hana noʻeau kahiko a i nā palapala mōʻaukala, hāʻawi kēlā me kēia hōʻike i ka ʻike i ke ʻano kūʻokoʻa o ka ʻāina.
ʻO ka ʻimi ʻana i kēia mau wahi mōʻaukala, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻonui i kou ʻike no Haiti akā e haʻalele pū ʻoe iā ʻoe i ko lākou hanohano a me ke kūpaʻa. E hoʻolulu iā ʻoe iho i ka wā kahiko o Port Au Prince a e ʻike maka i kāna huakaʻi kupaianaha i ke kūʻokoʻa a me ka holomua.
ʻO nā hana waho a me nā huakaʻi hele ma Port Au Prince
Nui ka nui leʻaleʻa i nā hana waho e leʻaleʻa ma Port Au Prince. Inā he junkie adrenaline ʻoe a makemake wale paha ʻoe i ke ʻano, he mea ko kēia kūlanakauhale ikaika no nā mea a pau.
Inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i kahi leʻaleʻa piha i nā hana, e hoʻāʻo i kou lima ma nā haʻuki like ʻole o waho e like me ka hele wāwae, ka paʻakai, a me ka piʻi pōhaku. Hāʻawi ke kūlanakauhale i nā ala hele wāwae kupanaha i kūpono no ka ʻimi ʻana i ka nani nani o Port Au Prince.
ʻO kekahi ala kaulana ʻo ka piʻi ʻana ʻo Pétion-Ville, kahi e lawe ai iā ʻoe ma waena o nā ululāʻau ulu a hāʻawi i nā hiʻohiʻona nani o ke kūlanakauhale ma lalo. Ke hele nei ʻoe i ke ala, e ʻike ʻoe i nā wailele huna a e hālāwai me nā holoholona hihiu like ʻole ma ke ala. Hoʻomaopopo maikaʻi ʻia ke alahele a kūpono hoʻi no nā poʻe hoʻomaka a me nā mākaʻikaʻi akamai.
No kahi huakaʻi paʻakikī, e hele i Morne l'Hôpital National Park kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaka i kahi huakaʻi i Pic la Selle, ka piko kiʻekiʻe loa ma Haiti. Pono ka hike i ka ikaika a me ka hoʻoholo ʻana akā e uku iā ʻoe me nā hiʻohiʻona panoramic o nā mauna a me nā awāwa a puni.
ʻAʻole pili i ke ala āu e koho ai, e hōʻoia e lawe mai i ka wai nui, pale lā, a me nā kāmaʻa paʻa. ʻO ka ʻimi ʻana i ke kahua haʻuki waho waho o Port Au Prince ʻaʻole ia e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i kahi ʻike hoʻohauʻoli akā hiki iā ʻoe ke launa pū me ke ʻano a mahalo i ka nani o kēia kūlanakauhale hoʻohiwahiwa.
Nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo koʻikoʻi no ka huakaʻi ʻana i Port Au Prince
Inā hoʻolālā ʻoe i kahi huakaʻi i Port Au Prince, e hoʻopaʻa pono i nā mea pono e like me ka pale lā a me nā kāmaʻa paʻa.
Eia nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo koʻikoʻi ʻekolu e hōʻoia i ka palekana o kāu huakaʻi a hoʻokele i ka ʻōnaehana kaʻa kaʻa kūloko ma kēia kūlanakauhale ikaika:

E makaʻala i kāu mau mea a pale i ka hōʻike ʻana i nā mea pipiʻi e hoʻowalewale i ka manaʻo makemake ʻole. E hilinaʻi i kou manaʻo a e makaʻala i ke kamaʻilio ʻana me nā malihini.
- E hoʻohana i nā koho kaʻa pono: I ka hele ʻana a puni ʻo Port Au Prince, nui nā koho i loaʻa e like me nā kaʻa kaʻa, nā kaʻa kaʻa, a me nā kaʻa kaʻa i kapa ʻia ʻo 'moto-taxis.' E hōʻoia e koho ʻoe i nā hui kaulana a i ʻole nā mea hoʻokele laikini no kahi huakaʻi palekana. E kūkākūkā i nā kumukūʻai ma mua a i ʻole e hoʻohana i nā polokalamu hoʻokele kaʻa no ka ʻike.
- E hoʻolālā i mua no ka paʻa ʻana o nā kaʻa: Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Port Au Prince no kona mau alanui pahū a me nā kaʻa nui i kekahi manawa. No ka pale ʻana i nā lohi pono ʻole, e hoʻolālā i kāu huakaʻi e like me ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka manawa hou no ka huakaʻi ma waena o nā mākaʻikaʻi a i ʻole nā wahi. E noʻonoʻo i ka hele ʻana i nā hola heʻe i ka wā hiki.
