An answer to you question
[QUOTE=Aragorn;2700592]Pretty easy to buy distilled water or do you just use vinegar to remove the mineral residue? Thanks![/QUOTE]Distilled water is easy to buy at any grocery store. It's so easy even a critic can do it.
In Sosua there are two Supermercado Playeros. It may even be in the colmado closest to where you are staying. In Santo Domingo the major supermarkets are Bravo, National, Jumbo and Ole. There are other smaller ones. And many colmados also.
Various and Sundry Questions
Good afternoon,
I've been combing the forum and still have a few questions. I know that ED medication like Viagra and Cialis is available over the counter, my question is to the Dominicans have a particular term for that, like pastillita azul or is it just the trade name?
I use an injectable insulin pen, I can bring one but it might run out, I won't die, but are something like a Levemir pen available OTC?
I assume lube is sold next to condoms in the pharmacy?
The links are not working in "reports of distinction" so I can't find Charles Pooter's report on changing the money. Is there a preferred bank or chain of ATMs that give a better exchange rate or charge a lower fee? For a short stay of less than two weeks is it better to bring some large denomination bills and go to a preferred money changer? If so who do you recommend in Puerto Plata or Sosua?
Lastly, what term do Dominicas use for pussy? The actual opening, not a derisive term for women? In Venezuela it was concha, Argentina was almejia, parts of Mexico it's coņo, in Honduras, cusuco. That last one is weird because it also means armadillo! 😹.
I got sunburned this weekend
L working outside this memorial day weekend for about two hours left me with a pretty scorching sunburn across my shoulders. Now as part of my tourist cover I'll be enjoying the beaches in the Dominican republic and I was wondering are there kids on the beach that I can pay 50 pesos to to slather sunscreen on my back? I know I could get my chica to do it for me but I'm more of a short term rather than long-term guy so I'm not keen on having one hang around with me all day.
