Re: DR people are not friendly!
Bobby,
I couldn't help stopping by this string when I saw the nature of the topic. I have to agree with TOMAS -- you shot yourself in the foot with those remarks about the Dominican people. I agree there are a few sour apples in every barrell, but if you took some time to look and research before you blurt such statements, you would realize that the people of the Republic have NEVER had a stable government and every time someone promices them something, there usually some level of disappointment.
I have been to the Dominican many times over the last five years and have been "burned" by some of the people, but I also had to cut them some slack because of the level of poverty and other problems. Hurricane Georges changed everything down there and it has turned some very nice people into hardened seekers of whatever is needed. They will help you if you can be polite AND firm. We can all learn from each other.
Please--eyes open, mouth zipped...let the people teach you.
Blessyou-- Dee
