Posts: 4026This forum is very active too. Not so much of it is on topic but if it makes guys happy that's the most important I guess.

So, from a man in the arena, who lives here, boots on the ground I can report not all retail stores do that.
Now, have I been in a location where they do that? Yes! Where? The retail district known as Duarte.
But we can always discuss Spanish vocabulary and grammatical usage if you prefer. Knowledge of Spanish can help you talk to girls. Talking to girls is how you get their panties off. That is a desirable situation (unless you are the type that just like to pull them to the side) when you want to have sex with a girl. And since the forum is about the sharing of information on having sex with girls, all this talk about Spanish is certainly useful. But personally, I prefer to rely on my Spanish professors in my University classes here. And I will let the visitantes (visitors) posting up in here tell me about having sex with girls. They usually have much more knowledge about that than I do. At least according to them.
But what the fuck do I know? I just live here!

When a young child in my life says "moma" and hands me something, I know he means "toma". I repeat the word "toma" so they can learn it property. That is how you teach a child. And please note Spanish is not my first language. I suppose that is what the Spanish professors here are doing. They think I am a child. So they are continuing to repeat the word so that I learn it. I appreciate the care they are showing in their instruction. You can see it in the way that they write to me. Like I said, it has been going on for years. And I see that some of the same individuals are continuing in their efforts to make sure I speak the language as they feel it should be used as linguistic professionals.
I was on Churchill yesterday. Sad new for lovers of steak. Outback has closed. I know someone out there cannot get their blooming onion delivered anymore. LOL! Remember they used to be located in Acropolis Mall. A new Starbucks is under construction in the space. It is looking good. Perfect spot for that initial meet and greet after making the online acquaintance of a girl over on that side of the city.
Man in the arena. Boots on the ground reporting. Or do you prefer linguistic discussions on my misuse of Spanish. Your choice gentlemen! But what the fuck do I know? I just live here!.
To the individual that asks what does he know since I am the one who lives here? My answer would be that he does not know much about living here. But that if he wants to talk about his experiences during his many trips of between 7 and 14 days to fuck girls in Republica Dominicana he knows a whole lot about that! LOL!

Posts: 1987Some of you should really be above this by now!
Funny how after years of living here in Republica Dominicana the self appointed ISG Spanish professors posting up in here are still at it correcting my Spanish that I use everyday compared to their Spanish that they are teaching in their college classes. Only the names of the Professors change.
Tarea (job, task, work) When I say to my chicas: "Estoy in calle haciendo tareas" - I am in the street doing work (errands). It may not be grammatically correct or the proper usage of the word according to our Spanish experts. But strangely enough they understand what I mean. And they do not correct me. Only the pedantic (quisquilloso) types posting up in here seem to do that. But it is all good. Like I said before it has been happening for years. It is the difference between being a keyboard warrior and being a "man in the arena" with boots on the ground in the Dominican Republic.
Now someone tell me how the type of people that go to Mr. Grilled has anything to do with the actual observations that I made about social distancing occurring there? Although I appreciated the information. LOL! Now, tell me about the people that go to Hooters and how it relates to the social distancing that occurs there.
Had a business meeting today. We all wore masks. Even though we all knew each other from previous business meetings. Only lowered them to take our juice and coffee. Then we all replaced them. Practiced social distancing as much as was practicable for the room. No one in the business meeting had a problem with my Spanish either. Once again, the real world verses the online world. Big difference. Si o no? (Forgive the punctuation).
In other news, while I was out in the street doing tareas (work) I checked out a store I have not been before and ran across Three Olives Vodka. Only one on the shelf. Bought it! I had not seen it here in Republica Domincana before.
But what the fuck do I know? I just live here.

Posts: 4026In theory yes, but debt obligations are not honored across the board and neither are labor law obligations such as severance payments. Sometimes debts are settled as kidnap ransom. There is quite a lot that happens beyond the beaches and car wash bars. Another example of the raise prices to make up for lost customers mentality is the idea that they can attract retail customers by maintaining jet engine level music volume at the entrances of stores. It's as if there is a belief the buying public finds that irresistible. It would draw attention except everybody does it, so in the end it's just an annoying background of noise pollution.

Posts: 4026Mr. Grilled is popular among people who live in marginal barrios but want to project an image of prosperity. Check their Instagram feed if you aren't sure what I mean. In "Dominican" (as distinct from Spanish) it's known as "figuereando".
Speaking of Spanish, in both "Dominican" and Spanish "tarea" means homework / school assignment or a measurement unit for small plots of undeveloped land. "Errands" as in "run errands" would be "diligencias" as in "hacer diligencias".

Posts: 4026You will find much better deals for price and space if you expand the horizon beyond the two streets away from the Conde, Parque Independencia, and the cathedral plaza. There is a pretty significant tourist premium on airbnb rates in the inner Colonial Zone. It's not a big deal for stays under one month in length but it adds up quickly for longer term stays.
