Dominicans might not be so rigorous about putting their kids in the back seats of their cars, let alone strapped in with seatbelts or in a child seat, but the very same people are horrified when a baby is exposed to the mild tropical air without socks.

I agree - this is one of my favorite blogs on this site. It is really funny. Thanks! :)

Have you thought about writing a book? Experience of living in a different culture is such a fascinating subject!

Love your blog, Chiri!
