I agree with the other posters though, it's quite sobering to see how other people are managing to live. When I start to bitch that I'm having a rough evening as I've run out of parmesan I know it's time for a trip to the barrio to bring me back down to earth. I have nothing but respect for those people, they got dealt a very different set of cards to most of us on here and they are get trying to get by and get up the ladder.

Well, in general in the capital, yes. In Santiago as well. In the small towns less so, but the two most dangerous areas of Jarabacoa are also the poorest barrios.
That tourist is from South Africa, surely he must be familiar with dangerous cities and high crime rates? His country has robberies and murder rates rivaling stats from Brazil.
Probably explains why he is so at ease roaming dangerous spots in the DR and illegally crossing the Haitian border like it's a walk in the park. 🤔
