I was in Dominican Republic on a mission trip and when laying block the dominican men would come and take your tool and start doing your job and in their culture the woman do not work. So do not be upset with it just take a break and go back to working again in a little bit. Leave a Comment

 Street in Higuey by micas_pt
If you're travelling to some touristy spot or resort you may pay almost everything in dollars (USA). Usually they have the prices marked for both currencies.
When I visited DR (year 2000), in Europe each country still had its own money. As there is a "Spanish tradition" to this country and lots of Spanish tourists, they also market the prices in pesetas (Spain's currency at the time). Right now in Europe the currency is the Euro. I guess prices will also be marked for Euros, and it may as well be possible that they accept Euros. Leave a Comment

 The school by micas_pt
As you may see in the photo, they all wear a school uniform. It is somewhat funny to see that in such a "Caribbean" laid back place. In a country that is so poor, where streets may impress you since they don’t have basic hygienic rules or equipment, where everybody is joyful and seems to be always partying, where children play bare feet in the street ... and suddenly you enter a classroom and they are all so "immaculately dressed up". It was nice to see. Leave a Comment

 The village by micas_pt
There are no basic equipments such as gutters, or current water, and the streets are just made of "ground". In spite of all this, they were all polite to us and seemed to be, like everywhere else, quite joyful and relaxed people. Leave a Comment
