I just recently learned that they call most of the U.S.A. 'New York' in the Dominican Republic. It is quicker to say Nueva York than
it is to say Los Estados Unidos
I called an ambulance for an elderly woman, and the ambulance crew needed to know if she was really awake. To test objectively, they asked her if she knew where she was.
Aqu?, she replied. On further enquiry she said she believed she was in the city of New York. In fact, she was in a Massachusetts city hundreds of kilometers from the State of New York.
I guess in the Dominican Republic, there is very little difference between the lie and the truth.
