      The drink game is the culture of mexican bars in texas and Losangeles also.You buy a girl a latina drink to socialize with her and the price of the drink is usually 10 dollars or more higher than the actual price.I learned that going to mexican bars in california.

    It's obvious Mark is a very intelligent gentleman. The explanation that he gave on how buying a single drink to a lady will most likely lead to a very slippery slope, since it will be seen as an invitation to take advantage of someone's willingness to spend money. Asserting one's boundaries is incredibly important in a third world country, especially when known to be a major hub for sexual tourism. Being blunt and direct, especially when it is an uncomfortable situation, is the only way you go. Further, his delivery was concise and eloquent. I was not expecting such a High quality advice. Great video! 👍

    @SimpExterminator 5 лет назад +29

    My friend and I are traveling to the Dominican in August, and honestly most of these tips are common sense lol. I can understand the confusion when it comes to tipping though, because a lot of us in developed or 1st world countries tend to forget that these popular tourist destinations such as Punta Cana fully rely on tourism for their economy, and then right outside the resorts are the ACTUAL locals and their impoverished communities, and they absolutely thrive off of tips and your generosity so please don’t be stingy people.

    • @DirectionlessStudent
      @DirectionlessStudent 2 года назад +3

      Precisely, bro. Most of what this goes on about is shit you shouldn't do in ANY country. "Don't look at people in an angry way." If you need to be told not to do this kind of shit, you're probably an asshole in your home country, too. 😂 I've been to Sosua -- I was nice, polite, and I tipped generously. Everybody was super nice right back, and everyone had a great time.

    • @YouNeverKnowWhoIsWatching
      @YouNeverKnowWhoIsWatching 2 года назад +1

      @@DirectionlessStudent I think this can be a culturally distinctive thing because I'm from the United States born and raised and I know for a fact that there are places here in the States that I can go and have a friendly , calm, or resting face, and then there are places where I _need_ to have an angry look on my face so that people don't bother me(friendly people can get "punked" in some urban areas).
      Therefore, I have my _suburb_ _face_ , and my _hood_ _face_ . That's something I learned about as a teenager.
      So I can understand why he had to explain not looking angry to some tourists/expats.
      Sometimes a common thing to do where you come from can be taken the wrong way in a different place.
      I also used my _hood_ _face_ on the two occasions that I visited El Salvador with my then husband. I didn't want to walk around with a dopey smile on my face like an obvious outsider. Not saying that I did not smile when smiled at or was not friendly with people who were friendly to me, but I tried to look somewhat unapproachable on purpose.
      I'm also speaking from the point of view of a woman so that might make some difference- trying to look tougher than I really am.
      This is also known as the resting b**** face. I feel like its been a lifesaver in some situations.
      And anyone who knows me knows that I'm the opposite of a a-hole. I'm actually too friendly, which like I said, as a woman can be a liability sometimes.

    Thank you for some good tips. My wife & i in ours youngs days went to Jamaica & stayed at a nice hotel. We didn't listen they said "don't deal with the people outside the hotel" So we when out shopping ran into this street hustler. He said he could get us tickets to the dun river falls so we gave him $15.00 for the local taxi. Well, this guy drove us to the location but, the street hustler never paid the driver & ran off with the money that's what the driver said. So now the local taxi driver is pissed & pulls out a machete that son of SOB!
    Like you said don't be stupid it's was only $15.00. So I gave the driver the $15.00 didn't want the situation to end badly. A lesson learn.

      Finding lady actors down here can be difficult, so sometimes we just need to hire a motoconcho guy and place a wig on his head :) All worked out! Thanks for watching! Brgds, Mr.T

    What a valuable and entertaining video. Thank you for posting. We’re visiting the DR next January and staying at a resort with I believe 6 other couples. I’m interested in perhaps finding a guide to take us around to some interesting areas while we are there. Can you recommend reputable guides? Thank you! The tips in your video, I laughed, it’s about the same as visiting New Orleans!

    When Dominicans steal the gas from your motorbike, they leave enough for you to get to a gas station. I have been pick-pocketed in a concho and they threw back my wallet with some money inside. I have even had a guy pull a gun on me but we negotiated how much of the 4kpesos he could take. I got 50%.
