Port-au-Prince
Gingerbread trim and a view of the harbour are about all Port-au-Prince has in common with other Caribbean capitals. It's jammed with people soldiership on amidst rundown buildings, open sewers, bright coloured murals and taptaps, public buses emblazoned sustaining fine art and Creole sayings.
Much of the activity is focused on the Marche de Fer (the Iron Market), a 19th-century iron and tin mixture of Parisian class and African style. It's pandemonium inside, packed with stalls, vendors & piles of fruit, baskets, soap, religious totems & toys. It's hot, noisy and overwhelming.
