Thanks, my one-year-old liked that a lot.

I await the special "dv8" release with a bachata sound-track, narrated by a Russian, and with a representative percentage of Haitians in the chorus and crowd shots.

Professionally done and a very good tourist video. I'd bet that Carnival either had it produced or paid for it.

I think it's aimed at the locals. No subtitles and fast Spanish that needs a very developed level of Spanish.

i guess that i am not the odd man out, then. the sequences were way too fast. not enough time to figure out what you are looking at.

Dwell too long on any bit and the target audience may twig.

I thought it was a well done video of the PoP area and that is what a very jaded part of the country needs. Good promotional stuff like this creates an idea.....even for a gringo with no Spanish.

Tourists want new and different experiences.

What percentage was Puerto Plata? I saw the tunnel in it and that is not Puerto Plata, but 30 miles away. The kite surfing was that closer than Cabarete? Nevertheless I loved it.
