Local traditions and culture in Dominica

Dominicans are very friendly, but generally seemed to wait for us to greet them before they greeted us. Except for the men. As in most West Indian countries, the men were very friendly and flirtatious. For the most part, this is very normal and harmless. When men called out to us, we simply greeted them with a smile and maybe a funny remark and weren't bothered for the most part. This photo is of Cobra, our guide down the Indian River, who knew the latin names of the plants and birds and also let us know that he prefers the go-go clubs in New Jersey to the ones in NYC! As you can tell, the area was very humid and my camera suffered for it!

Everybody in dominica is friendly. It is funny because when I went over there strangers will greet me according to what time of day it is. At first I didn't answer back thinking they were talking to someone behind me. But you get use to it real quick. So make sure you have yur friendliest smile and be prepared to do a lot of greeting.
