After visiting DR in Jan this year for THE most amazing 2 weeks of my life, i have to admit that i have thought of nothing else but jumping on the next plane back out there! That is why i am astounded at all this negativity towards my favourite place in the world! it makes all my hackles rise and i instantly want to defend it!
I understand that people have their own opinions, and i spose they can't help it if they are wrong...
seriously though, ive never really been the kind of person who raves about something or goes on about spiritual awakenings and the like, but i feel as though being there was what it truly feels like to be alive, and being here is just a stop gap until I can go back to what feels more like home! does anyone think im being completely weird?
I have travelled before please dont think im some kind of nutter who goes on one holiday and thinks its amazing! ive been to some of the (supposed) best places in the world, florida, new york, miami, bahamas, quite a bit of europe.....and still i'd rather go back to DR than any of those places!
I miss it so much!
I stayed in a very touristy area, and yes we were plagued by sellers everywhere we went but it all added to the experience. most of the time we would say no (cos a lot of it is the same stuff, or we'd already bought one!!) and the guys would give it one last shot and then move on to the next person, not too much trouble!
the best was one guy on the beach who kept saying 'its just my job!' which is pretty damn fair!
anyway, the people are what makes DR the place it is, welcoming, chilled and fun. i will NEVER EVER forget any of the people i met there, they are all fantastic and i cant wait to see them again and meet new people next time!
as nice as it is to find people who arent bored with talking about DR, im starting to feel a bit depressed that im not there right now!
thanks for listening
