With the upcoming high season I want to leave a message for all the innocent and naieve girls and women who will travel to the dominican republic in the upcoming months.
I was reading the treads for a long time and now wants to post something to, just to warn you all and tell you
YES, All those stories of sankies are true and Yes they are very good actors
Probabely you will ask yourself now, how can she know.
First I went a couple of times on vacation to Playa Dorada and yes I was very charmed of all this attention me and my friend (female) got from the animation workers and other hotel staff and we went out with them and have a great time. I kept in contact with some of them (boys and girls) but did not fall in love, but was foolish enough to believe some guys when they told me that they where in love with me. I was also a good friend with the son of the hotel owner. He asked me to come over and work for a while in the hotel. I did and in this period my eyes opened. As I was working in animation and guestservice, I became one of them. We hang out together during siesta time, I spend a lot of time in their homes, went out with them and their tourist girls and so on.
I would never ever have believed things happened over there when somebody would have told them to me, but I saw it as I was there.
When sending a letter to your lover, be not surprised when it will be opened by somebody else. We received the mail and packages twice a week at our animation center and most of the times the girls from animation opened all the letters and read them loud for all the others, big laughs all the time when one guy received letters from different girls all tellling him that they love him, want to marrie him and so on. They even have a calendar on the wall where they write down when which girl is coming, to make sure that they will not mixed up and mess up with other girls at the same time. When sending them presents, they are opened as well by the team, sometimes give away, sometimes changed with other and even sometimes sold.
They guy that received most presents are most money is the hero of the week and has to buy a bottle of rum for the whole group. And I'm very sorry to say but they are not always speaking very nice of the girls/women that send them presents and love letters. They just see it as a job to keep you satisfied and they get paid for it by you.
It is possible to get good friends with those ones, and once you became a good friend you will have a friend for the rest of your life. I have some very special dominican men and women who I can say for sure that they are my friends, they never ask for money, presents or whatever, we just have fun, hang out together when I am there and we keep in contact by phone, email and chat when I am at home.
Please girls/women in the world, keep your eyes open, have fun, but do not fall in love with the very charming dominican men after just a couple of days vacation.
People talk bad about those sankies but in my heart and in my mind when I think rationally I can not blame those boys. For them it is a very easy way of making money in a third world country. And please do not blame them for be like this, but blame all those tourist girls/women who created the sankies, by giving them money and presents.
I hope my tread helps a little. Because Domincan Republic is a beautifull country and a great place to be, but more and more negative news about sankies and being not safe will not help this country. And if you use your common sense just what you would do when you are at home, then the country is not more or less save then your own country and the boys are not more or less dangerous for you then in your home country.
Take care and enjoy a wonderfull vacation
