Hello Everyone!
Me and my friend recently just got back from the DR ,I was just in DR in January and loved it so much I had to go again .. We stayed in punta cana at a resort, We had the time of our lives and met alot of great people tourists and locals included, The locals we met were really great to us I know it is there job at a resort to be nice and we are also well aware of sankies or whatever u call them, we are not clueless and know what most of their intentions are, but the constant compliments are nice! Not something that happens everyday in Canada..lol.. I have done alot of research on the DR and also have been reading alot of threads before joining; I am just fascinated by the country and the culture.. And it?s all I can think about!! I know its strange.....In March we are planning on returning for 10 days and would really like to get off the resort and experience what the dominican is really like away from the resort life just incase we want to move in the near future haha ( I WISH!! ).. I know you probably hear this question alot and there may be posts about this already but a little advice would be helpful like >>>> Would it be okay for 2 girls ( 29 and 25) to just grab a taxi and go into town for the day ? and if we did this where would we go? and what do you wear? (dumb question but we dont want to stick out 2 bad) Basically what can you do off the resort during the day? How can we meet some nice dominican people and have a presidente or 2 with some locals or eat some real dominican food ? Also should we go back to punta cana or is puerto plata a better place to experience this? Where would you goif you were us? Thanks in advance ANY advice would be great! :squareeye
