Being English and you tell me we are eating in ´media horita mi amor´ it took me along time to get into the habit of buying yoghurts to snack on during my remaining 3 hour wait! I lived in Puerto Plata un 2004 and love the way they are - I remember when i bought a hotdog in the airport whilst waiting for guests to arrived ( i was a rep) finding mould in my bread put me off a little, when i went back to point this out to the girl expeting her to change it , she simply dipped her long (fake) nails into the bread and ripped out the mould! ha! if this had´ve been in the UK i would have flipped but when she said - ´toma mi amor´ with the sweetest, most genuine smile on her face, it was impossible to be mad and i ended up thanking her :D I miss my Dom rep days! anyway , though I would share that, reminiscing out loud :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652113856727227960.post-34277951422595057262013-02-11T09:02:49.082-04:002013-02-11T09:02:49.082-04:00Horrid it happened to you too, but makes me feel b...Horrid it happened to you too, but makes me feel better that it isn't just us foreigners it happens to!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032023667222395286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652113856727227960.post-59489910088283536742013-02-11T02:32:47.553-04:002013-02-11T02:32:47.553-04:00I just read that, and I can tell you I kind of wen...I just read that, and I can tell you I kind of went through the same situation. I am a Dominican citizen but I was raised in NY, and I been here for about 4 months. Back in the US if you wish to open a bank account all you need is some identification and your SSN... and that's it. Well, as I had a cedula, I tried to open a bank account, and the first thing they asked me was what was the "purpose". It seems I coudln't just open a bank account just because I wanted to, either I needed to have a significant amount of money to do it or I needed to have a job letter stating I was going to need it for direct deposit. I don't know what type of BS that is. Oh yeah, and they don't do personal checkbooks, supposedly that is only for "business people" who write "important checks"... that's too "elite" for me I guess... when I had like 5 check books in the US.

I opened an account once there, but in pesos and couldn't get a card for it until a week or two later. Total bullshit. Also, when I first got there, I had Canadian travellers cheques and most places apparently only took American ones. Thankfully, I think it was Ban Reservas or BHD that ended up taking them or else I wouldn't have had money.

I think I just need to become a Dominican citizen and get a new cedula in my married name. That will also be an interesting exercise. I wish now I had been something more exciting than a journalist. I will be an airline pilot next time I think.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032023667222395286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652113856727227960.post-34963951888382707412013-01-18T10:37:08.839-04:002013-01-18T10:37:08.839-04:00I have had the same issue with people in UK wantin...I have had the same issue with people in UK wanting utility bills from here to prove my address.

When Chivirico tries to pay money in, they give us special paper and we have to count out the coins into batches of 20 I think and wrap them in the paper - which we aren't very good at.
