    The truck he mislabeled a HMMWV was actually a Brazilian truck called an Agrale Marruá. It's not a hummer replica kit.

    That would make sense, since there were quite a contingent of Brazilian UN troops. It's a big opportunity for Haitians that are able to speak Portuguese to work as translators for the UN troops. My last trip in Jan. I saw some S Korean, Japanese, Chilean, and Brazilians.

    Some of the Japanese "Humvees" could also be Megacruisers.

    The Mega Cruiser was only sold in Japan. Haiti is a "tertiary market" for Toyota but I don't think that tertiary.

    For some reason I though he said the Japanese military was there. Disregard.

    There probably is a Japanese UN contingent. Maybe they brought Mega Cruisers!

    Looks like a interesting adventure. It's a shame there hasn't been much progress since the earthquake.
