    Love it Ellie and so true! I am English and have lived here for 23 years, many people from outside have such a fantasy about what life is like here and the reality does not always fit with their dreams! I LOVE living here and feel very Dominicanizado but it has taken a while to get used to the ´quirks´. Love ypur videos and keep going!

    As a born and raised Dominican I can say this is all true. Every time I go back it takes me a day or so to get comfortable driving. The smaller towns are much better but still.
    The list could be longer!
    Anyway, we appreciate that you are giving our piece of the island a try. I hope you find enough good things to stick around, and hopefully the younger generations will eventually alleviate so many things that need to be fixed.
    It used to be a lot worse, except for traffic.
    Look forward to more of your videos. 🙏🏼

    Actually, the most dangerous condition is Moto-Conchos cutting thru the middle of traffic and not obeying traffic signals. A family member was nearly struck by one of these motorbikes going at least 40mph thru the middle of traffic and going thru a red light.

      El problema es que aqui la gente se mete aun uno poniendo limites. Es parte de su cultura. Aqui hasta por uno vestirse bien hay gente que se lo toma como una agresion a ellos. No es cuestion de poner limites, es que una parte de la poblacion tiene graves problemas y se meten con gente que no se esta metiendo con ellos y no respetan limites.

      @PurelyWalking one guy told me they got big spiders on the island some near jarabojoa and la Vega 😳 the countryside may have more I was told that's one reason I avoided the countryside when I'm there. One in particular the Hispaniola tarantula uses its back to spray hairs at people they encounter.

    • @stylishchick150
      @stylishchick150 Месяц назад +2

      There are no tarántulas there. Those are cacatas, and they are harmless. They are big and scary looking but they eat all the annoying bugs. So don't let that scare you away.

      @laislabella Месяц назад +2

      Asi es. En rd si una persona es decente reservada, si tiene algo de cultura y buenos modales o buen gusto en el vestir, no pueden con eso, inmeiatamente catalogan a la persona de engreida, popi o que se la esta dando. Incluso le aplican estos epitetos a personas solo por que son de buena apariencia o se visten bien.

      Es cultural. En Europa saben manejar el espacio personal de cada quien y respetarlo. Ejemplo básico: En las escaleras eléctricas te dejan un espacio para los que vamos apurados y dejan espacio en las filas para no sentirte que te respiran encima.
      I sooooo hate that most dominicans here can't learn how to behave. Middle upper classity is a bit more aware..slightly.

      But at the same time, unlike europeans(experienced first hand) people are so scared to be upfront about not wanting to meet you, being there soon but always late, being in your face/ space inside the metro without need.
      I just can't stand that and maybe I'll never Will.
      I always feel like maybe I was born in the wrong culture 😂😂😂😂🫠🫦😐😩😬😔🇩🇴
