Interesting that Frannie should mention the wide-spaced eyes. I always joke with my girlfriend that she has some rana blood as her eyes at practically on the sides of her head. Just joking and most people would say she has an attractive face, but she does have particularly wide-spaced eyes.
Another common giveaway that Frannie did not mention is a gap between the two central front teeth. Also Haitians tend to have large hands and feet. Even quite dainty girls will have long feet. Haitians have more lanky, muscular frames, through the cruel process of natural selection on the plantations, and even after the revolution these were maintained by the enormous amount of physical work they did and the amount of walking though lack of roads and transport. Even today it is commonplace for small children to walk two or three miles and back to fetch a 5-gallon container of water each day.
Of course there are also white Haitians and fair-skinned Haitians and if you watch Haitian films and TV you will see plenty of those. But Haitian society is even more racist and color-conscious than Dominican, and these mixed-race Haitians have always owned and ruled most of the country. Papa Doc was a vile dictator, but one of his few good deeds was to empower "black" Haitians somewhat, including making Kreyol the joint official language. Indeed their support for that reason helped keep him in power. But even he did not get very far in changing the long-term centers of power and wealth.
So these fairer-skinned Haitians (as in the DR, but to an even greater extent) have all the advantages in getting educated and being offered jobs and for that reason will rarely surface in the DR as putas.
There are plenty of black Dominicans as well. Mostly these will be of Haitian descent. But there are also lots of "Cocolos" as well. These are the descendents of black freed slaves who came from the former British colonies to harvest sugar cane. I pride myself that I can distinguish these from Haitians, as Dominicans claim to do (and of course rating Cocolos above Haitians) but I do not know why this should be possible as the forebears of both came from West Africa. Maybe it is through dress and mannerisms and, obviously, speaking better Spanish.

Dominicanas are often lighter skinned, speak with a characteristic Dominican accent, have Spanish names, and are found in the company of other Dominicanas.
With a bit of practice you can tell the difference at 50 paces.

Haitian girls I have had were great in the sack. They were much easier to negotiate with. 1000 pesos and they are happy. I cannot say they enjoy it more or are just hard workers. I am sure there are exceptions. Best blow job I ever had was from average looking haitain girl. I thought I nothing in the tank but she curled my toes. Hatians come in many colors but are usually dark and thin. However I have seen some with bodies that are off the charts. They rarely are accused of scamming. I tend to like the malutto look of DR girls but will give a cute haitan a shot every now and then.
DR.

If you speak French you are obviously a fairly good linguist, but I am surprised you say you have never encountered Kreyol, because if you are used to conversing with Haitians and Haitianas in the DR, it would be hard to avoid. You may have thought you were hearing heavily accented French and not noticed the grammatical changes, changes in the pronouns, verb forms, and the words used to ask questions, or the use of the word 'bagay' every fifth word.
Nearly all the Haitianas I meet in the DR speak Spanish fairly well, so as that is my language of choice, I usually speak to them in Spanish. When they speak to each other they always speak in Kreyol, not expecting to have their conversations dialed into by such as I, and laugh if I reply in my lousy Kreyol.

Kreyol is basically broken French like American Ebonics. A native French speaker will have some difficulty with the "slang" but should be able to communicate at a base level. It's often easier to communicate with even the most uneducated Hatian as they speak multiple languages.

I do not remember this being discussed anywhere before, so I will ask it. I've heard many guys say that hatians are better choices than the dominicqn chicas.
Can you, and how do you tell, by looking at a girl, if she is hatian or dominican?

Posts: 23905% of Haitians speak French fairly well, though heavily regionalized (like a Jamaican speaking English) but 98% have Kreyol as their first language. Most of the latter speak varying amounts of French, from only a few words and phrases upwards.
The fact that Mr Enternational has found a lot of haitianas who speak French in Sosua illustrates the difference between Dominican and Haitian putas and why I prefer the latter. Most Dominican putas (apart from a few more educated ones with mental or drug problems) come from the least educated strata of society (same as street putas in most countries). Whereas many Haitian ones in the DR don't. Because of the appalling economic situation in Haiti, girls who can read and write and do simple math (and sometimes a lot more) , who could get jobs if they were Dominicans in the DR, are unable to get any work at all. The ones who come to the DR to hook need a lot of courage and initiative and a little start-up money. I have been with haitianas who were qualified nurses, teachers and secretaries. Such people will have gone to school and learned some French. They are also more likely to make responsible and interesting companions than illiterate Dominican trash.
The absolute no-hopers stay in Haiti and slowly starve. They are the ones with no education and who speak only Kreyol.
The other reason Frannie and I emphasize Kreyol is that very few Americans speak French. So if you want to learn a little of a new language just to speak to Haitians it is obviously more productive to start learning Kreyol than French. It is also easier as Kreyol is an extremely simple and regular language. Any one verb in Spanish has up to 100 different forms. In Kreyol just one. There is also no gender to worry about.
Of course if you are an international traveller like Mr Enternational and plan on visiting francophone countries around the world your time would be better spent on improving your French, as Haitian Kreyol won't help you anywhere else (apart from Martinique and Guadeloupe where I understand Haitian Kreyol speakers can just about get by).

The official looking exchange booth inside the airport is a ridiculous rip-off, agreed, but if you change money outside either at the Banco Reservas branch there, or at the ATM, or with one of the guys on the street, then you will get somewhere close to the going rate.
Today the official rate is 41. 95, so when you exchanged your money with the guy who was "fair", you actually paid a more than 5% surcharge on your entire vacation! You see it isn't the guys on the street who are necessarily ripping you off but the organized businesses like the exchange place inside the airport or your hotelier. Although to be fair, he is just providing a convenient service to save you going out and changing money, albeit one that is very profitable for him.
Just pointing this out because people get paranoid about small perceived scams, but fall for the bigger, more expensive ones.
I lived in the US and was continually bombarded with silly offers, like police and military calling all the time on the phone trying to shake people down for contributions to their "pension fund". Or a mailbox full of silly offers every day.
Just pointing this out because people get paranoid about small perceived scams in the DR, but still fall for the big ones.

Remember that English is also 45% derived from French, but most English speakers don't understand French.
See this article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-14534703
"The percentage of people who speak French fluently is about 5, and 100% speak Creole," says Chris Low.
"It's like a toddler who is forced to start walking with a blindfold'
Says Michel DeGraff Associate Professor of Linguistics at MIT.
"So it's really apartheid through language."
Ms Low is co-founder of an experimental school, the Matenwa Community Learning Center, which has broken with tradition, and conducts all classes in Creole.
Educating children in French may work for the small elite who are fully bilingual, she argues, but not for the masses.
French is used in Haitian schools, but then again only about 1 in 10 graduate high school and 1/3 never go to school at all.

Eddy Carter big Upps! (slang word for thank you) for the great report, Don Antonio I have to shake your hands, you single handedly showed your ass! And you got "the time of day" I'm being African American, would love to tell you what I really "think" of you for lobbing that N-word, but I'll just (imagine what I would say face to face). Old kool! I agree this thread has sank to new lows. Racially and it made it to the screen. Wow!
