I was in Punta Cana. I said I didn’t like it, didn’t say it was trash wholesale. it might very well just be me
I stayed in the place for a week. forgive me for not being able to write a dissertation on the historical socio-cultural and economic factors and dynamics that shaped modern day DR
Where I was staying it was majority black. there was an abundance of “mestizos” or w/e but majority was black
The OG dude spoke Spanish, he just preferred to respond to everyone in English
coolest breh I met there was a Haitian breh that went by “John Travolta”. Funny, cool, breh. hard working too. His job was basically try to get any tourists to spend money at any of the beach businesses and he gets a commission based on how many people he brings in. Dude was hustling from morning to night every day under that blistering sun and always cracking jokes.
