MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF SANTO DOMINGO, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Welcome to Santo Domingo Dominican Republic. I have been wanting to visit Santo Domingo for a long time, and now I finally get my chance. Santo Domingo is said to be once of the most diverse cities in Republica Dominicana. I am in Santo Domingo to give you my honest thoughts on this city!

I visited Santo Domingo in October..it's a very cool place to visit, the impression that I got is that they're nationalists and they definitely love and rep their country, the good and the bad...the way they drive is definitely an eye opener!!😉

There is a lot of room for growth there. Too many motorcycles on the road, hopefully this will change as they expand the train networks.

no they not it's most of fake pride. I'm Dominican and if my ppl would love there country they would not let themself oppress from those Arabs Lebanese who are over the country. it's a fake ideology of so call Spain pride meanwhile the dominican government bought money from the US. majority off black ppl are brainwashed with this mix nonsense meanwhile lighter so call dominican getting all the better jobs. majority of so call light ppl are Arabs Lebanese north African imigrant that came her in the 20s. we have a lot of immigrant they ain't dominican

Dominican Republic is the real deal. Best place to vacation or retire if you want your dollars to go farther. However, knowing your way around the DR is a skill that needs to be learned and it takes a bit of time and some help so videos likes this are very useful. 🤫

You're absolutely right on point, and I just got back from piantini Santo Domingo after being there for 3 weeks I had ball I didn't even do nothing major just hangout at The Blue Mall and Agora Mall. its just that everything was within 5-10 minutes plus one of the major Supermarket was at the end of the block and I'm definitely going back to Santo Domingo
The fact that a foreigner immediately noticed the class difference is a problem. As a Dominican I was really discouraged last time I visited because people would straight up ask me “what are you doing traveling with those people” just because i have a light skin and dress differently

Hey, I am Dominican. Thanks for visiting!!!
DR is in the top 10 of all Hispanic American countries with high GDP blah blah. I think it's 7th place above Argentina. Which is understandable, Argentina is always going thru some economic crisis and scandals. Lots of Argentinians want to leave their country, their currency is always deflating. If you save up 500 pesos by the end of the month is basically worthless. Like, you can't save up money there. I remember back in around 06 bunch of Argentinians immigrating over here. DR and Panama are the highest or faster rising economies and would have been more if not for the Asian related "cough" scare. There are hardly ever any catastrophic weather events like earthquakes or hurricanes. Puerto Rico usually is our shield and eats most of them. The most recent worst earthquake on the island was back in 2010 and that was on Haiti's side so we dodge that bullet also. But a big strain in our economy is the illegal Haitian immigration/invasion and the corrupt politicians, entrepreneurs/business owners that allow it to happen for cheap labor. No different than the US with "mexicans" or latinos and then media and usual suspects try to use the oldie but a goodie narrative of "Americans/Dominicans don't want to do those jobs that Mexicans/Haitians will do". I'm all for Hispanic immigration between each other but Haiti is a different culture, it's not Hispanic. But global entities, NGO's etc want to push all their progressive all inclusivity agendas on us, and we're fighting back against traitors in our lands and media.
Hope you had a great time here!!!

You say that the Dominican Republic is not a welcoming country, it is because you have not visited the neighborhoods where the people are very warm and would give you a lot of affection. Dices que República Dominicana no es un país acogedor, es porque no has visitado los barrios donde la gente es muy cálida y te daría mucho cariño.

Hey Bro, it is very cool to see you wandering around my area. Hope found you and chat a little bit. Fridays at Outback restaurant is good start since many dominicans that go there speak fluent english, therefore you will get a lot of good info that help you in your trip.

The good thing about DR, it has a growing middle class, the area you are in is upper middle class, you would need to visit Santo Domingo este to find the middle class
My country 🇩🇴. Hi from Miami 🇺🇸
Santo domingo is not wakable at all, but if you want to go to an area that is walking friendly you should try zona colonial, and go to the Paque Duarte there is always a bunch of people, also the parque Mirador Sur, peoples plays baketball, baseball and football down there so youll end up having a good time tho

Since the late 90s the middle class in DR has seen a huge increase. Definitely not your 'ether rich or poor ' place. There's a very large middle class and even the average poor gets by with some help from their relatives in the US. Fun place.
