[...Living & Travelling in Dominican Republic with less than 1,000$/ month...]

So I look back to the days when I've been thinking about coming to Dominican Republic. I got my goals, expectations and plans. And now I laugh from them - as dominican reality crashed them all. So the cultural difference between here and Europe - even Spain - are huge. And to expect life in similar surroundings, with similar people like in Europe - here in DR - was craziness. So I expected that I will talk with the people here on the "same levels" as I was doing it in Europe.

They are like whole population - they want more & more, dont appreciate what they have and they go crazy when they see newest mobile phone model. Well, most of them. Like 95 % ? This is America, not Asia....

Now he asks me for "entrance fee of 25 pesos", which is total bullshit and nonsense here, as this place is totally free. So I tell him that I wont pay anything as its free swimming pool for everybody. Guy is surprised once again and doesnt know what to do. Finally I gave him 10 pesos, just to get rid of him.
