Emergency Message From US Embassy
Reduced to a mere shell of what he tried to be I see.
Now we turn back to our regularly scheduled program of unrest at UASD. Those collegians are always up to something.
People who get the government to build them a house are not the ones out there protesting. They talk wonders about the government and, most of the time, they are also able to get freebies and jobs. No one is going to talk bad about the government or participate in demonstrations if they are GOOD, even if their neighbors` homes are falling apart.
slightly off topic alert:
Robert... if you have a "spam-o-matic"... I WANT ONE. Can I get it from an infomercial like Ron Popeil? LIke a Veg-O-matic??? LOL
now... back to the program. LOL
So I am now living in SFM.. Before moving here my husband said, I don't know if its a good idea there are lots of huelgas here.. And I'm like.. sure they have helgas all over.. I've been through many of them we stay indoors, etc.. He said well they are very "Caliente" I said ah.. blah..
BOY OH BOY.. Where I come from (New York) Kids wear their pajamas backwards put a spoon under their pillow and crazy other things in hopes to get a snow day. Kids here are just excited for a huelga. When I tell you that the ENTIRE town has talked about this Huelga for the past 4 days.. Make sure you have EVERYTHING you need.. blah blah.. My mother in law has called non stop she is so worried.. She has EVEN come 1 hour away to stay with us.. (Luckily I love her).. Well what the heck was I thinking?!??!! LTSTEVE mentioned about the leftover burned tires, etc.. Yes SFM streets ALWAYS are staiend from these tires.. Well I can tell you.. it's been a VERY nerve wrecking day. We couldn't go anywhere, of course I ran out of cooking gas and we can't leave till Thursday!! Luckily my neighbor is my brother in law.. but I hate depending on people.. We hear the gun shots, the gray smoke is going to kill us all... and the "Exciting News" as people come to tell us about this one and that one shot, or businesses ruined.. etc.. Its just been a crazy day.. and I can't wait to get through tomorrow. I'm a worry wart anyway.. but this just takes the cake!!
I've been through huelgas in the capital, in barahona, etc.. but NEVER like this... I will be looking to leave SFM soon

San Francisco is one of the most caliente towns when it comes to huelgas. I know 3 people who have had rocks thrown at their cars and their windshields shattered during huelgas there!
That's right. I've been here since '86 and SFM has always been known for its huelgas.
One way or another
When you grow up in a dead end society,regardless of you busting your ass in school to amount to nothing unless you know someone,then you shall be entitled to those brainless statements.I love it when expats complain about the DR.THe only reason why you guys are here it's not merely the weather but because you couldn't separate yourselves from the rest of society with your euros and dollars.Maybe you are "highclass" in DR,but mentally.....let me save myself from a "vacation".You don't like it,go back to your home country where no "low class individual complains to the government "

how about having a nice, lovely air conditioning on all night? because they pay a flat rate for power regardless of the usage?
