Honestly I bet it depends in what part of the country you are located it, I bet you will hear alot of different slogans from the cibao vs. Santo Domingo.


It should be "esta malo aqui" because everyone I speak to from the D.R says the same thing when you ask them how is it over there.

Default National Slogan

It's based on the old Steve Miller song : Take the Money and Run.

el ron que no se acabe porque eso me da vitamina.
