Born in NYC from Dominican parents from un campo of San Jose de Las Matas in "Ei Cibao" -Santiago. Love dancing merengue de tierra adentro (perico ripiao) too. Me encanta el campo.

Born in the USA--highly respect this country and appreciate all the opportunities I've been given here these 22 years of my life...also appreciate what it has given my parents who have lived the american dream and now can't wait to retire and live a relaxing life back in their homeland, the Dominicana Republic. I love the DR w/ a passion for all the pros and cons...and am waiting for the time it can offer me a good paying job that allows me to live comfortably...ideally have enough money to build schools 4 the poor (cliché, i know...but soñar no cuesta nada).

Things I love of the DR: music (listening to Juan Luis Guerra right now--aint he great??), food, nature, good people, the fact that time is often not relevant...but life and people ARE.

Hilarious, if you could only translate it with accents and all for our gringo members.

Is that it? Just four or five Dominicans and about six cibaeños?

¡Que vaina!

A gringa who found it hilarious too. Thanks to a Dominican buddy who recently explained Cibao accents to me after I'd struggled & given up trying to understand Hippo on TV. Hey - it's a lot easier when it's written.

Moderator, delete if you want to. After all I'm not Dominican, although after reading some stuff elsewhere, there sure are days I wish I was...........

They better not touch your post, you are not only an adopted daughter of the DR but a beautiful person.

I am Dominican. I was born in Haina. My family is from Palenque and San Cristobal. My grandparents moved to Haina when they were young.
