I don't know if there has already been a thread on this, but I would like to see a list of Dominican customs, superstitions, beliefs etc. For example, putting an azabache on baby to protect against 'mal de ojo'. After a women gives birth she doesn't "cojer sereno" or wash her hair for a certain amount of days? Putting an elephant statue in the living room or taking a pciture of a baby on their 1st birthday sitting on the table next to the birthday cake or using the stove to store food. These could very well be the same for other latin american cultures, but I wanted to see a list of interesting customs thats specific to Dominicans.
