Haitian Youth Soccer team takes vacation in NYC
NEW YORK - Most of a Haitian national youth soccer team apparently deserted the squad during an airport stopover hours before a planned Wednesday trip to South Korea to prepare for the upcoming FIFA Under-17 World Cup.

By Wednesday afternoon, six of the 13 missing players had returned to the airport and turned themselves in to team officials, said Felix Augustin, the Haitian consul in New York. It was unclear where the youngsters had been and why they had left the team, he said.

I just have this image of a bunch of haitian teens running rampant in NYC. I have been to Haiti and it is truly one of the most impoverished places I have ever seen. I can't even imagine what those kids thought when they saw NYC....plus - they are teens after all.
