Don't be so hasty to make comments like this. People are too quick to judge on the negatives and forget how generous and trustworthy Dominicans in some of our lives are.
I won't rattle on but consider this. How many of us can walk down to our local neighbourhood store and buy $100 bucks of crap on the promise of a kind word and confidence, trust and good will? Colmados do this every day, and for the most part support on rota most people in the neighbourhoods at some point through the month on a no interest unspoken agreement and understanding. Don't say it is because we are gringos, because it isn't. All that debt is taken on through good will, nothing more.
Bitch about the BS, the corruption, the backwardness of the country, the short sightedness in general, the individuals who have robbed you the bin men who don't turn up, the women who are filthy sluts, the men who are abusive bastards, and god knows the PN who are the bacteria from the rim of the devils arse himself, but there are very very beautiful people, inside and out just waiting to get to know us all, if we can forget about the negative drama we read day in day out on DR1.
Darn it! I don't know if we got complimented or insulted! LOL!!!
