Did you get mugged? How well do you speak spanish?
Did you have a clue as to where you were going? Were you expecting San Juan to be just like South Beach in Miami?
Having travelled a bit, I can say the same things about the capital of almost ANY central/south american country with a few exceptions-Buenos Aires comes to mind.
But once the initial "gringo shock" wears off, you will notice people going about their daily lives and the place begins to open up to you.
I will argue your perception and question your definite lack of tact. You seem extremely ill-suited for anything the DR has to throw at you if you didn't like San Juan. How much dirtier and dangerous is San Juan compared to Santo Domingo or Puerto Plata? It would all depend on where you went and what you expected.
And all this is besides the fact that you have insulted the motherland of some of our DR1 members.
