Today was a great day even though I didn't do much. I sat around and drank and talked for the entire day with my friends. They bought me pasteles off the street vendors and nonstop alcohol. I argued with some and made jokes with others. I'm finally understanding their street lingo and I have to leave so soon. We spent a lot of time laughing at everything today and it was so fun. The guys are trying to convince me to move here once I graduate. I actually had to translate a sale for them because they know english a little but obviously not as well as I do. I chased around one of my friends sons all over the place cuz he's a little kid and wanted to play. After I was done playing around like a child, we continued to drink and carry on and act so obnoxiously because we could. Today was a great day. I seriously have been considering how I could possibly move here and get a job, even if only for a year.
Through watching people today and the other days I've realized a few things. 1. They have no manners here. Words like please and thank you are actually annoying to them. WTF? 2. Dominican men do not care about have six packs or eight pack abs. As long as they feel good, they'll stay that way. 3. Dominican women never learned that see through pants and patterned underwear do not go together. lol.
Afterwards, I walked around with an American friend for a while and we came across a free concert so we were there for about half an hour until they closed down. That was a fun experience because there were so many people there. We chilled for about another hour and a half just walking and talking and now I'm back in the hotel room. Tomorrow I need to buy some gifts and the guys promised to celebrate big tomorrow because they don't want to see me leave.
