ONLY in DR (add yours to list)...
To quote a previous post ...
"I'm glad to say, going into IKEA nextdoor was as usual, a very pleasant experience."
Surely only in the DR!

1) Are there car washes that don't wash cars
2) The sex cabanas are nicer than most hotels
3) You get paid a nice sum for voting PRD
4) Peeing on the side of the road is completely accepted
5) Disgusting, fat, old bald men feel attractive (maybe in Thailand too)
6) Do I, personally, feel like I belong

LOOOL ! On my first trip to the DR, actually my first hours on the island, going from POP to LT, my Taxista suddenly stopped and did just that ! It was more uncomfortable for me than it was for him
Very funny! The bus driver that was taking us to Bahia Principe San Juan did that too. It was our first time on the island and we were quite surprised, especially when a bunch of the men on the bus decided to go too. Then the driver spotted some mangoes up a tree and tried to get them down for us by throwing sticks and things. It turned into a sporting event as some of the folks on the bus apparently thought they could do it better. There was a bunch of them on the side of the road throwing sticks and rocks and whatever they could find at this tree. We had no idea what was going on until the driver came on and explained it to us. All the while we're sitting there thinking 'you don't see this on a bus ride in the US!'
I was in a funeral procession out of Los Sufridos that drove through POP blocking all lanes of traffic and cutting off motorcycles etc... everyone was blowing their horns like mad and the SUV that I was in ended up behind the hurse carrying the dearly departed who was blaring her horn which was a police siren followed by music and sound effects... it was ridiculous:cheeky:
Only in the DR...
...are the phrases "porque si" and "porque no" totally acceptable responses to a request or inquiry while at the same time being totally unacceptable if RECEIVED as a response.
In other words, they can say it to you but if you say it to them it's a problem.

Actually, Newspaper is the best way to clean windows, since it doesn't leave any streaks. It is not a Dom thing, started doing it in Europe.
Only in the d.r no matter how in trouble you get and the police stops you and you ask them what do you want..they say dame algo($$$$$)....hahhah
especially in December the police are like wolves stopping you for no reason just give them something to eat or 100 pesos and they leave you alone. hahah the curoption in d.r is like no where else in this world.

But only if it's mounted on the spindle! Went in Americana and wanted the natural color heavy twine. There were 3 big spools of it, but the clerk would not let me have any (after quoting me the price). He insisted I had to buy off the spindle~~ which was a greenish color.
Sorry ~~ NO SALE!
ODR. . . can you say that you are eating the national flag and have it be patriotic.
. . .will screaming "ladron" will get the whole town to stop what they're doing and help you catch your thief.
. . .can you stop stray dogs that are chasing you by pretending to pick up rocks.
. . .is it just as acceptable to adorn your house with flags, posters, and stickers of your favorite political party as it is to do so for your favorite sports team.
. . .where directions are more easily given and received in terms of colmado names instead of street names.
. . .can you play dominoes loudly and nobody will get angry.
. . .do you feel more comfortable with your neighbor fixing your power than the electric company.
