Dominican is a joke. People expect you to give money to them whevever you go. Unless you know how to speak Spanish then its ok. If not, then forget about communication. The vendors hassle and haggle you trying to rip you off. They were trying to sell Cuban Cigars to the US tourist... but the Yankees weren't stupid. The Americans told them that they were fakes but the vendors insisted they were real. When the American try to leave, about 10 of the vendors buddies surronded the Americans demanding they buy the fakes or else. If yall wanna have a good and safe vacation stay the FUCK away from DR.
