I found the more you give the less they respect you. Because in their eyes you never give enough. That is why my answer is always NO now. If they (extended family, etc..) come to me with a "problem, I meet their problem with a bigger problem of my own. They tell me they have a problem..and I then tell them my problems. Works everytime now even if I have to invent a problem because more than likely the problem they have told me was invented. I know people that have "killed off" their family members over and over.
naaaaa,
come on, you can do better than that.
that's only pure Barrio(US or DR or German BARRIO) behavior between lowlifes who try to be da better/less fu.cked off low life.
sure you can not come over and run the golden goose game and then expect that someone respects you, it anyways depends WHERE on the local society you start to hit da Island.
if you come over and hit the streets and beaches to mingle with the beach vendors, hookers and sankies, yeah, then you need to be prepared(prior to arrival of course) to handle that kinda sh.it. if you lived in such surroundings back home, then you will have no troubles to handle that here on the island, as they are the same scumbags as they are at home, your FRIENDS.
if you come from a well protected home in a 1st world country and have no intention to mingle with the low rated population there on the streets, why to start a new life with exactly that class here on the island?
it is like comparing living costs, which is the Subject of this TOPIC here,
if you grew up in an average family in counrtyside Ohio, then do NOT compare the living costs from the local Diner there to a low-mid ranged street restaurant in Santo Domingo, because the St Dgo place will be an other world/level for you and look expensive, the same when you would invite Granny for shopping on 5th avenue, there are different worlds out there and you cant compare one to an other, and you will not be an other person with other life experinces just because you leave one world and hopp in a lil brink for some months into an other part of world's society.
the biggest trouble for newcvomers is still the same as it was always:
they arrive, they have some lil bucks(by their home upcoming considered big bucks/all they ever earned),
they hit da beachyes and streets of this new and completely unknown country, without a clue not even about the language spoken there,
they spread the word around in the barrio about the new Gringo Man in town(there are the same numbers of females doing exactly the same, just that they usually get laid more often within the first weeks than the male counterparts) and that way they make a heck of friends, a heck of friends in low places.
people who's parents have the impression that they gave their breed a at least simple average education, hit the lowest parts of Island's Human Life-Circles, and then all the fun starts as to be seen on the streets on daily bases.
you can name it
From Dreaming of a Hummer
to
Run over by a Motoco?o.
everyone is choosing on which kinda streets da midnight moonwalk will be done,
and everyone can choose with which kinda Lady it will be done.
but yes,
i know by experience that the 1st world schools and universities and Parents are on very most cases a completely failure to educate their students/kittens on anything which happens outside of Kansas.
