Stationary from the Le Plaza Holiday Inn, Port au Prince, Haiti, 1991.
3rd January 2012: My first week in Haiti I stayed at the Le Plaza Holiday Inn in Port au Prince. They tried their best to be "upscale" - it was difficult in a place where the power went out regularly, several times a day, for several hours at a time, where running water routinely didn't run (making for some interesting toilet flushing sometimes), and food was often scarce and of very poor quality. On the table set up as a desk in my room they kept a small stock of stationary for the guest of the room to use. Some of the stationary had obviously previously been used, I could see erased pencil marks on much of it!
