Learn To Speak "SPANISH"!!! AND "Dominican"!
You will only,and ALWAYS, be a "Tourista" in the DR until you learn Spanish/"Dominican"!
It is always BEST to learn "Proper Spanish" first,so you don't look like a "Hillbilly"/ "Campesino/Chopo" when talking to "upper-class" dominicans! (Sorry "Hillbilly"!) But then most of you only want to converse with "lowclass" dominicans anyway! (95% of the population!)
I pay the same price,or less than, the average dominican when I buy,"On-The-Street"! But then,I "pretend" to like the dominican seller,and talk like a "Ghetto Chopo" to them! If you buy fruit from the same guy everyday,soon he will start to give you more,better qualty, fruit than he did at first! Buy "jonny cakes" from the same guy every day,and they will have more "Mystery Meat" filling than at first! I don't know if that is a "Plus", or a "Minus"!
Have sex with the same hooker all the time,and.............."Oh!" I better not go there!
