I'm looking for the email address of John Goulet. I'm a friend of K and
P's in LG. Want to spend a night or two at your place when I come to SD to get
something notarized. No firm dates yet. K declined to give me the email address.

What's the name of your Ho-stel for the wayward sailors? The Pink Panther-ito?
You sleuthy geriatric culinary arts empressario. What's for supper, Canadian bacon au jus?
Business must really be brisk in the midst of the heat and all.

Keep a light in the window! For your rumbunctious guests to find their way back when it's late.

Say good night, dick!

DOmincans stare without shame, Americans stare but they try to hide it.
Dominican men hisss, "tss tss" to get attention, esspecially from a women, this would be concidered very rude to most gringos.
Dominicans in the united states always like to tell there americans friends how things are in the DR.
Dominicans will always tell their american friends when some famous person is domincan "you know al horford?, that dude is Dominican"
Dominicans (mostly the older generation) are infamous for putting toilet paper in the trash can instead of just flushing it.
Dominicans talk extremely loud, esspecialy on a cell phone, tw tend to yell directly into the mouthpiece as if the person will hear you better.

I think its great to point out the funny things we do, it is important to laugh at our selves once in a while, ill think of more and post them later

Thanks for your responses so far guys they are all very funny and amusing ....Afrolatino, I must admit that I am also "guilty" of doing the religious cross thingy when I hear the church bell at noon or if I happen to drive by a cemetery ....The salmon, lime green, bright yellow colors that both islands use to paint their houses I think is quite adorable and only adds more to our beauty.

Myths and Legends/Mitos y Leyendas
VooDoo Curse on the Cincinnati Red's
It was said that pitcher Pedro Borbon (he was into voodoo, curses and cockfighting) of the Cincinnati Red's (said to be one of the finest arms to ever come from Dominican Republic) was so angry at being traded in 1979 that he put a voodoo curse on the Reds that lasted 10 years. When the curse was finally lifted Borbon said "Yeah, I lifted it. I told everybody when they traded me that I was putting a curse on them and they'd never win again. The people who did me wrong are not with the team any more, so now I don't care if they win."
The 1990 Reds finally won their first game. Was this because of the hex that Borbon lifted or just because they played well? We will never know for sure.

The Nimitas is the name given to the fireflies here in Dominican Republic. They are a common sight in the country around the open fields. Their light is used to attract their mate. Superstition here says that the Nimitas are the soul of the dead who are watching out for their loved ones still living. They are always watching over and shining a light for all to know they are here.

Chupacabra/ Goat Sucker or Evil thing.
This is a supposedly living creature that looks like a hunched alien with huge red elongated glowing eyes, grey skin that is part fur and part feather, short arms with claws, legs like a kangaroo and a line of sharp spikes down the middle of it's back exactly where the spine is located. They are supposedly very powerful and some have reported that they can fly. It is said to be about 4 feet tall when standing erect. Such creatures were said to first be spotted in Puerto Rico in the mid-1990s. It is said to be alien in origin and was brought here by a UFO.Very few people have clamed to see one, yet there have been many domestic animals (cattle, goats, etc) that have been found dead with two holes on their neck. Their their blood drained and their organs sucked out as well.

Los Biembiens
The legend of the Biembiens started in the XVIII century. It is said these beings are located in the mountains of Bahoruco. An African slave and some Indians ran from their Spanish enslavers. They transformed into wild beings after a time and became legendary. The Biembiens only language are grunt-like sounds. Their short, deformed and ugly bodies are unclothed and they are not very friendly beings. These creatures are very agile climbers of both trees and mountains. They can attack alone of in groups. After dark they come out of their hiding places to search for food. Like the Ciguapa they also leave backwards tracks to protect them from being discovered. They do eat humans, mainly the entrails and also use humans as sacrifices.


So if you are walking in the mountains and you hear unusual growls and gurgling run, don't walk. Remember, here in Dominican Republic we have no wild animals. If you hear this it can only be a roaming Biembien, looking for it's next victim.....
