New Year's Eve and the capital is weirdly silent. Absolutely silent. Not a car on the Malecon, you can hear the waves and the sound of a solitary dog barking. I have never in 10 years seen the capital like this, it's surreal.

Silence
Welcome to Wonderland....
I mean the new normal.
Not one person is even playing music in the condo complex I'm in. I feel like I'm living in a cemetery.
I know why it' s silent in Santo Domingo: it's because they all showed up right here in Las Terrenas!!! 
I just wish I had silence too!
Although, I can't complain, the noise situation has improved since November, hope it keeps up with the good results...
(Silence is gold here in DR!!!)

Noise, music, fireworks, motos ripping up the street. My area of Jarabacoa was anything but quiet. My street itself was pretty quiet but the next street over, lots of parties.
Dog barked, rooster crowed, cow mooed and a burro he hawed. Other than that NYE in elcampo is normal. Silence is a common denominator here.

Happy New Year
Lets hope 2021 is an improvement over 2020.
2020 hindsight vision is not so good.

Very quiet in my neighborhood. I was super surprised as I expected lots of noise and gun shots from the local rental party houses. Some local fireworks at midnight but that was about it noise wise except for the fan on my inverter recharging after a 12 hour edednorte outage.
I had two neighbors with family visiting. Both with music, both at low volume. Actually made it easier to go to sleep. I don't know what artists they were playing, but I thank my lucky stars for the neighbors I have.
And the government *& tourist board thank you for you encouraging tourists to visit.........Come to DR and YAWN
Calm before the storm and people start taking to the streets. The government will decide the bribe money from the IMF to keep everyone under house arrest isn't worth it.
Watch what happens after the Saturday curfew. The Covid scam is going to unravel very quickly - and not just here.

They have already backtracked on the 12 mid-day curfew for people who have been staying in resorts as they realised that this will kill that business. I can't see that they can keep on with the mid-day one for very long.
not silent were I was last night...parties everywhere (Santiago) fireworks, gunshots and best of all when I was walking home only a few blocks, the Police drove by us on a motorcycle about midnight and said happy new year...so much for the new curfew...........I know why it' s silent in Santo Domingo: it's because they all showed up right here in Las Terrenas!!!

It is strangely quiet even now where I live - For a holiday. I'm not complaining and hope it continues but it is odd for this area.
music till 2 am from a rental house party !!! very disrespectful.......
Very disrespectful?
It was New Year's Eve!
Most New Year's Eve parties in RD DO NOT END AT ALL.
2am?
While there is a stricter curfew in place now, nobody stated persons must stop living.
