Honestly I bet it depends in what part of the country you are located it, I bet you will hear alot of different slogans from the cibao vs. Santo Domingo.


It should be "esta malo aqui" because everyone I speak to from the D.R says the same thing when you ask them how is it over there.

National Slogan

It's based on the old Steve Miller song : Take the Money and Run.

el ron que no se acabe porque eso me da vitamina.

I've always been partial to 'ya tu sabes' and '?y es facil?' myself.

Imagine my delight when I discovered that one of our posters here used one of these phrases for his website address. 'No hay lu' is but a distant, dismal memory.

Yep, another satisfied customer. :cheeky:

Ricardo,

Dominican pronounciation of "no hay luz", dropping the final z or s sound. You know........ "uno, do, tre"
A reference to the current problems with the electricity.

I think you may have a legitimate "double entendre" there, since for many of the people I know in the DR "no hay lu" means "no hay loo too"! (or at least they'll need to flush with a bucket.)

The Slogan should be "Que Mierda"

no hay luz Que Mierda
Que Mierda de Carro
Tengo Hambre Que Mierda no hay na pa comer

Its a bad situation in the D.R. and I hope that in the near future we start seeing positive changes. It is derpessing when I see on T.V. how dominicans have died by trying to flee the country in a life raft (u cant even call it a boat). I also would never criticize the men or women that are out there trying to meet tourists so they can find a meal ticket out of the D.R.
