Let´s be fair: Supermercado Nacional has a very high standard of hygiene and their employees seem properly trained and motivated. I have yet to find any other supermarket that is nearly as good as CDN's supermarkets. I would eat their prepared food without hesitation, Plaza Lama's? Not even if I am at a point of near starvation.SOME of my friends in the DR wonder why I detect to eat supermarket-prepared food, now you guys know why!.
Us genteel, hygienically cultured folks always wash our hands before we pee...Well imagine being in one of those large dancing places in the DR, San Jose de las Matas to be specific. All these men and women dancing in close proximity, sweating, drinking lots of presidente grandes, sweating some more in August weather and then having to go to a bathroom with no RUNNING WATER for toilets or sink, at least us women don't touch the private area with our bare hands, but having to dance with these men that haven't washed their hands!!!! peeewwf, I'm glad I hardly danced.
Cultural differences aside, the Supermercado Nacional in Santiago is as nice as ANY top end grocery store in the states, IMO.Let?s be fair: Supermercado Nacional has a very high standard of hygiene and their employees seem properly trained and motivated.

]Foreigners Against Rank Toilets
you guys LIVE in a toilet (toxic cesspool) with folks who for the most part couldn't give a 'crap', so I'm not sure the exact problem here. (That's a rather broad stroke of the brush I just played, but you get the point.) Sure, you can find a pristine looking beach etc but dig deep enuf ... you'll find all kinds of shyt all over the island. sad
