Ignorance is not bliss ...
Well I must admit, I don't know "for sure" that anything bad was being said... but considering my last experience in the DR, I sure would have felt better had I known what was being said around me (heck, I might have hightailed it out of there a little sooner)! I just don't like being ignorant to what is happening around me... a very helpless feeling.
Other things I hate - garbage (for most people, this goes without saying) and burns on your leg from the mufflers on motoconchos - made that mistake only one. BE CAREFUL!!
