In order to better prepare myself for the Dominican Republic, I have been looking at random sites that tell me "things I need to know before I visit the DR" lol.....some of which I found useful, other stuff I just laughed at...and I know you will too....so I want to share it....
" A Sanky Panky is not a state sponsored tour guide
So you see some hot guy on a beach. He’s friendly and helpful and takes you everywhere you need to go. Eventually you start developing feelings for this guy (love or lust, take your pick) and you think you found your knight in shining armor. He’s almost perfect and not even the language barrier is enough to stop your beautiful burgeoning summer romance. In the back of your mind you think that he loves you for what you are, not for your visa… Wrong! These Don Juans who just happen to magically appear and romance unsuspecting tourists are known in the DR as Sanky Pankies. Maybe handsome, maybe not, beach gigolos can be suave and sometimes sophisticated, but you should let the game stop there. They can be fun while you’re here; just make sure you check them at customs when you leave."
ok first of all....aint nothing wrong with someone tryna get a visa from another who can and WILL give it to you. I come from a family of immigrants and let me tell you honey mothafuckas dont care if there is no real love, all they want is that green card. I have heard of people who get married and pretend to love each other for the sake of getting some extra cash (on one side) and getting that visa (on the other). I heard that the government even checks on some couples to see if they even live together...
second of all if your dumb enough to fall for some beach gigolos (as author of the above paragraph says) then FUCK you deserve to be played with..lol...i meannnn duh!
IF (AND WHEN) I find one or a couple Dominicans who want to come back to the states with me Ill have nooooooooooo problem with that, as long as he has charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent!! to clean, cook, do laundry, give amazing back, foot and everything massages,etc...haha.......just kidding......
not really
"Dominican time exists; get used to it
Hate being late? Hate it when someone makes you wait? Hate it when things don’t run smoothly, even when you planned everything ahead of time? Get used to it! For a lack of a better term we can call this “Dominican time!” It’s hard to determine how far behind Dominican time is from regular time, but our estimates say that the difference is about 30-45 minutes from time in the rest of the world. Even if you plan things years in advance you will always have someone showing up late. It’s just the way things are. If someone says let’s meet at 8, the odds are you’ll end up meeting at 9. The only things that are ever on time in the DR are bills and your clock and that’s only if your clock is battery operated.
welll see the thing about me is that Im already always late anyhow sooo I dont even know how this is going to affect me anyway. I dont even like tic toc's de todos modos so I wont have a problem with not having a clock either! lol
"Drinking during the day, at night and on Sunday’s is accepted and maybe required!
OK, Dominicans aren’t alcoholics and we aren’t urging you to become one, but the taboo towards drinking here isn’t the same as in the US. Having a beer at lunch, during the mid afternoon or at night is socially acceptable. So sit back and enjoy"
dammm! all I am thinking by now is I must be Dominican!!! Oh my God! all this time I have been lied to! I am not Mexican! Im Dominican!
