Port-au-Prince×Luanda
Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Port-au-Prince uses the HTG (G) and Luanda uses the AOA (Kz). Language shifts too — French in Port-au-Prince, Portuguese in Luanda. Cars drive on the right in both, so rentals feel familiar.
