why do people have to overthink everything? what is with getting the expert opinion of a psychiatrist?
this is simple stuff. the people are on a plane. planes have been known to crash. people die when that happens. so, their particular plane got here in one piece. they are grateful. they are applauding the pilot for bringing them home safely.
that's it.
LOL, but it is NOT official until a six figure study has be completed...............
True not just Dominicans, Canadians do it too. Trips to the DR, Cuba or Mexico always end with an applause. We are happy to have arrived in one piece.
I've been to Italy twice but can't remember if we did that or not.
i wonder why people would believe that only Dominicans do this..
Here is something you can also do , and watch to see the surprised faces .
When they do the announcements, they give you the Capt and First officers Names..
When you land and exit,, thank them BY NAME with a smile, as you exit ... the smile on their faces in return will surprise you .. they appreciate it a lot .

For the same reason there are people that think the sancocho is a uniquely Dominican dish, when in fact there's a variety of sancocho in just about every country that emerged from Spain. Guess where it originally came from? Haven't you wondered why a dish that has to be eaten hot was even 'invented' in the Dominican tropical climate? loli wonder why people would believe that only Dominicans do this..

I also used to believe that apple pies was an American invention, mostly because many Americans believe that too. I was taught a thing or two about such pies by an English guy I met at the university. Never again do I think of the USA when I think of apple pies. In fact, Americans have a saying that goes 'as American as apple pie.'
