I don't think it matters How Long one has been living here ExtremeR, some of us will never be able to get used to the Dominican ability to lay the blame off on someone else.
Without wishing to appear disrespectful to my hosts (I have many good Dominican friends & will continue to seek Dominican friendships) I recognise that the Dominican ability to deny any form of failure/wrong doing, is only surpassed by their ability to pass responsibility of any shortcomings on to someone else because of ....... 'whatever they consider the best excuse at the time'!
The Dominican saying "No Problem" does NOT mean it will not be difficult for me to overcome this slight inconvenience, it means ........ "Don't bring your problems to my doorstep - I can't handle blame, responsibility & problems & IF it is found to be my fault, I will turn that into blaming someone else!!"
Recognising this, I still prefer their way of living to the British way of life in general terms!! Even this RAIN is better than British RAIN!! ~ Grahame.
