RacerX, i have the highest regard for your insights, but i must disagree with your suggesting to the nurse in question that she become an instructor of sorts. in my 20 years of familiarity with this great land, one thing i have learnt is that Dominicans absolutely resent being corrected, especially by foreigners. they rather continue along the same path as before, where they have a comfort level. trying to show them a different way of doing things just riles them up. they will humor you, and do it your way for 5 minutes. the minute they believe that you are out of earshot, they are back to the old tricks. i watched this guy searching the internet for computer equipment, using a google state search. he had selected the state of Wyoming. i suggested to him that he might want to try somewhere with many college kids, such as massachussetts, or california. he acceded momentarily, and, when i passed by his pc half an hour later, he was back looking in Wyoming. why bother?
