  • If you don't want to stand out too much from the people, very few people wear a t-shirt, and noone except for a couple of odd tourists wears shorts. Men wear either a polo or a botton-down shirt, often untucked, and jeans. Women dress very provocatively, but never sleezy or cheap.

  • The Caribbean's best beer...El Presidente!!! - Santo Domingo
    The Caribbean's best
    beer...El Presidente!!!
    by Cabana_Boy

    Wherever you go, whatever you do, sampling the local beer is definite must. What do the locals drink, what beer is most popular, which beer is hardest to find, does it come in a half pint glass just like grandma used to drink…or better still, a full pint glass like I drink??? These are all good questions that need to be answered... While in the DR, drinking an ice-cold El Presidente is an absolute must… All the outdoor bars/cafes in and around Santo Domingo will bring out large bottles of El Presidente in a clay pot cylinder designed to keep the beer cold in the hot Caribbean climate. The Dominicans keep El Presidente so cold that ice will actually form on the bottle and clay pot cylinder when it’s exposed to the hot air and this is when El Presidente is best to drink. Little ice crystals floating in beer pour from the bottle hitting your tongue…ummm….instant satisfaction!!!

    Spend time in Zona Colonial, the architecture is beautiful. I also recommend renting a car and taking a road trip for a couple of days. DR is an amazing country with many beautiful sights. Get out and off the beaten path!

    The students at UNPHU university once again proved to me that the best way to learn about a country is to befriend locals and let them do the rest. You will be amazed at the friends you will make and the great things you can learn fron each other. I am already a much better cook, thanks girls!

    Did you ever saw the Dominican Flag this way...ha ha not possible, never made an other picture like this. On the beach this flag was always there, between a red, yellow or green one and a little flag saying the life guards were there.

  • The beaches are beautiful, with clear blue water. At night, there are plenty of things to do, especially dance at the 'discos'.

    Meeting a couple of nice ladies. I miss them.

    Columbus Light House. The mausoleum where the ashes of the Discoverer of America rest is located in the cross vault. A dazzling light show illumines the Santo Domingo night sky.
