Adventure much?
is it not possible to be friends with the resort workers
HolidayGIRL, you must be young..No not possible to be friends with resort workers in my opinion.
A. it takes time to acquire friendships, and trust-you wouldn't go tell a resort worker your personal life and what you are all about within a week of knowing them. How does one become friends with resort workers in passing an "hola" here and there, maybe a 1/2 hour lunch in the mess hall? or even a quicky -hiding from security on a beach chair? NO WAY!!
No they are not your friends, they get paid to be nice to you...that's it!
I too thought I had friends, and I'm not so sure anymore, and I'm talking about woman not men...the men I know are %100 sankies, they even wanted to learn my language and asked for lessons how to say some detailed pick up lines-I thought it was funny and played along...it wasn't funny it was stupid, and wrong..I helped them and encouraged them...and made it easier for them to prey upon unsuspecting tourists!
This was on my first trip to DR, but I have learnt a lesson from DR1, I will not support sankies and empower them to have any control over myself or my vacations..
If anything they are on the bottom of my list! There is so much MORE to DR..than them, I cant wait to experience all of the wonderful places the expats call home, now the only trouble is where to go first, do I cram everything into 3 weeks, do I do a week at a time? not sure, but plans are in motion and the wheels are rolling!! I cant wait to meet some exciting people in DR,looking forward to a new adventure.
