Whether you're riding, writing, or applying for gigs, the route is full of hardships. Just keep at it!
I think that Dominicans have the most obnoxious music I've heard since some parts of Miami.
An epic journey just to get to work at 9 AM!
A continuing source of frustration and difficulty to find wifi in RD, but understandable in a somewhat developed country.
Eating delicious foods, some local, others local takes on international food. Had more Dominican breakfast today, which includes a wide mix of foods, from fried cheese and salami to plantains, eggs, spaghetti, and more.
Continuing to make headway westward along the coast, I'm planning soon to head back inland, and go up to the heartland, Cibao.
Probably the steepest part of the journey in this country coming up. Should also have some of the core music, food (cacao!), etc.
Previously I've mentioned that RD has some music that annoys me. It also has some music that I like. The music, like the population, is diverse.
I feel like I'm finally getting a feel for Dominican culture!
Dominicans are kind of noisy.
Typical activities include riding a motorcycle around (the country or city), eating and drinking hearty contents, including heavy doses of rice, beans, and tropical fruits, and yelling in good cheer.
It's not a particularly pensive society, but it does the basics very well.
