So to be clear;
From what i understand and have read here from many posts, Dominicans;
Never keep their word.
Always late or never show up.
Expect the gringo pays for everything.
Rarely says thank you.
Complete disregard for others,i.e. very loud and annoying at all hours never considering they may be reducing the peace and tranquility of a neighbor.
Have no respect for traffic rules.
Do anything to screw the competition in business.
And then of course there are the lower society types which are plenty,they will lie, cheat, scam, steal, or do whatever it takes to get money from the gringo, and honestly feel its not a crime,more so a right.
It really is sad such a beautiful island is plagued with such a complete lack of integrity...
Now this is just a summary of what i have read here many times and have experienced myself but is still a negative post, so im sure it may offend the many good Dominicans who do not fall under this umbrella(which i have met some) to them I apologize! Just calling a spade a spade as I have traveled the world and have never seen anything like it.
As i write this with tired eyes due to the all night obnoxious neighbors who kept me up very late and the others who woke me with screaming children and barking dogs.
Ok feel free to delete my negative venting post now. Merry Xmas all!!!
