Such a different Dominican Republic

Dominican Republic - a typical tropical paradise, about the merits of which you can read in any tourist prospectus. Advertising will not deceive you: thousands of coconut trees are present, pearly white and golden sands - in the range, as well as the rarest black amber, a comprehensive tranquility and the best rest from the bustle.

True, the service in the country also has a raid of "paradise" traditions - the local people are very smiling and hospitable, but extremely slow, and any non-standard question puts them at a dead end .The credo of the majority of the local population is a fiesta (sun, holiday) and a strong friendship for your money..Especially if you are a foreigner .Common in the countries of the third world complex: you owe us because you live better (of course, at our expense: if we were not so bad here, you would not be so good there!) .Therefore, we will force you to share ... Perhaps with this attitude to all the travelers came across, and the Dominican in this sense is most likely not to be an exception..

On the other hand, knowledgeable people argue that the benefits of living here are much more than the disadvantages of .For example, the fees in the Dominican Republic are much smaller than in our homeland, and the bureaucracy is not so stubborn: probably, people under the southern sun are easier to look at life..The absence of harmful production facilities, radioactive burial grounds and other amenities of civilization makes this place desirable for all environmentally minded citizens..Believe me, most likely, you have already forgotten the taste of a real chicken - then you will remember it again! You can even say in another way: when you try the local cuisine, you will most likely like .You will be happy to eat this terribly harmful roast pork, and all sorts of seafood (which, strictly speaking, is not even part of the local national cuisine), and also consume sweet juices and fruits in unusual quantities..And only then, returning to the homeland, you will be surprised to find that your usual piece of meat has a taste of a plastic bag, that the grapefruit turns out to be just "tear out" what sour, and "honey" mango in our latitudes reminds of the taste of an unruly fir cone .Such a disappointment is .

Arriving in the Dominican Republic, an inexperienced European can easily get a light cultural shock when he sees a copier standing on the roadside, connected to a rosette dangling on a nearby tree, successfully serving a lot of customers.

With all this, the capital city of Santo Domingo looks very modern. And not only looks, but also allows you to live with comfort and pleasure. Ideally, if you, living in the Dominican Republic, get your "piece of bread" from abroad or from successful investments. Because how to earn decent money here for hire or a small business is not a trivial task. And you, most likely, first have to learn to live "like a local."

But to whom I definitely do not advise you to stay longer in the Dominican Republic for longer than a couple of vacation weeks - this is youth. Referring to the authoritative opinion of one of my friends, who had to study at the local university for about three years, I report: the life of the Dominican students is extremely boring! This country can be an excellent option for those who want to take a break under the warm sun or enjoy nightly entertainment - but here it is unlikely that it will be possible to swiftly move forward in life.
