yup, back in Hipolito's days, every thing had to be greased.
Copy of birth certificate? "grease, or you might have to go to Santo Domingo to get it because we may not have it"
New Passport? "grease, or we'll find something wrong with your birth certificate"
Migración? "umm, this passport looks suspicious. How much are you willing to pay?"
Picking up your luggage? "grease, or we might just find something suspicious in it"
From my perspective, the difference now is almost like night and day.
