Did you get a better cash exchange rate at that exchange comparing to a local bank?

Just need to do a bit of shopping around for best rate.
Stay away from the airport exchange office, they're thieves.

Anyway, for practical purposes I would not worry about it. You can just say "tu guapa" and they will probably get your gist.

Posts: 1315From Warm Gun's report "Went shopping to Super Pola, close to Antonio Havier and H 5. Store is awesome, good prices and clean, fresh produce. There is also a good pharmacy and Scotiabank at same location. Grabbed some food and cervezas, (girls like Presidente)" So, is there a Scotiabank at Super Pola?

While in most Spanish-speaking countries this would indeed mean "You are beautiful", in the DR it means "You are angry".
I should not worry too much about being correct, they will understand you. Something like "eres muy linda, hermosa, bella" would be better. You would not really use "estas" in this context unless referring to something like "you are really beautiful in that dress" or something like that.

Pooter is right, Guapa has this additional meaning in the Latin-American context, where guapo means "mad" or "upset". Estas guapo conmigo? No te pongas guapo conmigo. Etc. In any case, guapa, the traditional meaning is understood.
One curious example: Joder. In Spain, it means, to fuck. In Latin american diction, it means "to mess" - No me joder! El es un jodon (pain in the neck)!

Posts: 9Then how you say you're hot / beautiful in DR?
Estas muy guapa. (no final "s").
While in most Spanish-speaking countries this would indeed mean "You are beautiful", in the DR it means "You are angry".
However, it is possible they are familiar with the usual meaning from movies and TV programs.
How do you say you're beautiful in DR?

Thanks for the report.
You were wise to pass on the street putas in favor of semi-pros. The great thing about Sosua is almost any chica who works in the hotel, bar or tourist business may be avaliable.
You'll never get a lawsuit against you for asking the pretty girl at the counter out for a drink, even if your are 70 and she is 20. LOL. She might even say yes!
Try that back home!
