The DR Is A Magical Place Because....

You can be ?Barbie?
You can be ?White? when your skin is ?Brown?
You can ask for money after sex and not be a prostitute
You never have to be at fault
You never have to apologize (see above)
You can wear all your clothes in the water
You can live in a match stick shack and still be queen
You can drive any way you want
You can be ?Plump? yet still perfect ;)

The most amazing magical thing I've experienced in the DR is how money disappears into thin air.............

Of 1.5 motorcyclists, only 50,000 have the driving licenses the law requires. This is in a country where motorcyclists are involved in 80%+ of road accidents.

Good thread. Funny and true at the same time.
I don?t call this place Wonderland for nothing.

1.5 million motorcyclists. almost as many as the number of political aspirants. in other countries, when a kid is young and impressionable, he wants to be a fireman, a policeman, a doctor, a teacher, you name it. in the DR, he wants to be a politician.

In the U.S., the fear is having an accident with someone that isn't insured. It sounds like the only possibility of an insured driver in the DR, is a tourist in a rental car that paid by credit card.

Unless you really do your car in ... the cost of body work for most accidents is less than a deductible you would pay in the states. Amazingly, since there is no financial motives soft tissue injuries are less common in the RD than in the States. Although that changes once they get to New York and get whip lash and subjective type soft tissue damage at endemic rates.

i am amazed that the soft tissue thing has not caught on here,because it has caught on, big time, with Dominicans in the USA. i guess the fact that there must be more private ownership of insurance providers here explains things, because the big money types are not going to sit still and get fleeced by some common or garden taxista in a 1984 Toyota Corolla.

My comment had absolutely nothing to do with damage to the car and everything to do with personal injury, lawsuits and million dollar claims. It is so funny how differently we all interpret situations. I agree rfp.

We have radio on while working, and it?s announced that please rationalize the use of water, as the reserves are still very low.

At the same time, what a coincidence, Coraaplata is sending water, and just by turning head we see 4 tinacos and one cistern overflowing all the incoming water to the street, as the "flotas" are broken and nobody cares. Thankfully they only pressurize the pipes for about 5 hours...

Just a couple of weeks ago, we had the pluming fixed in our building, and are now one of the few houses on the street that does NOT shoot all the water to the street...

This week they have sent water for 4 consecutive days, something they have never done before, and you can imagine the amount of water that has gone to waste. Then after a while they complain that the main tanks of Coraaplata are empty and water trucks need to be called.
