If you work at the "Huacal" government offices building in Gazcue you are in good physical shape. If you are just visiting, be mentally prepared to go up many flights of stairs. The building that houses 15 floors of government offices and where hundreds of Dominicans work and thousands go for government services has only one working elevator, with five elevators out of service. The office building houses the National Budget Office, Migration, National Statistics Office, Department of Mines, Ministry of Industry and Commerce and many other important government departments. Many persons prefer the steps anyway, as if the electricity goes out, one has to wait several minutes in a closed elevator full of persons for the power plant to go on.
