The other day, a new member, lalla, was surprised when someone mentioned that MANY Dominicans living in the US, when they visit their relatives, the borrow items from friends and relatives in order to make believe, in the DR, that they are better off than what they truly are. "Comemierdas", if you will.
lalla, bless her heart, was surprised and found so funny something that is done regularly. I have told about this "problem/situations" a few times, on this site.
Maybe she is one of the very few Dominicans that have not heard of such a thing.
Well, I have a few stories that even thought they could be funny to many people, they are not funny at all. It's not funny because many Dominicans in the DR are lead to believe that in the US, all you need to do is land and all of a sudden, you are an instant millionaire. There are horor stories that came from some moron showing off with "borrowed" items.
Do you have any stories about such individuals and what they have borrowed?.
I have a few and I will keep some of you guys amuzed after I get back from an appointment.
Btw, it's not an spefic gender "problem", both sexes do it!.
