Dominican girls. Interesting facts about Dominican women

Going to a foreign country on vacation, you always want to get to know the local population, its traditions, maybe make new acquaintances. The women of the Dominican Republic are as bright and incendiary as the country itself. What a simple tourist should know about local girls in order not to get into an unpleasant situation.

Top 9 facts about local women

1. Lush forms are welcomed in this country, so on the street you can meet very “voluminous” ladies in very, very narrow clothes, bright flashy colors. Big buttocks or a huge chest here, rather a compliment to the figure, rather than something that should be embarrassed. Even in store mannequins, you can often find 5-6 breast sizes here.
2. Most of the population of the Dominican Republic is mulatto, so thick curly hair is not uncommon here. Of course, most local hairdressers offer a hair straightening and laminating service. But elderly and family Dominican women can safely go to the store or to the market, dressed in curlers, designed to give curls a certain direction.
3. Local women are very open and easy to get acquainted with foreigners, but such behavior should not be taken as "availability". It is believed that falling in love with a Dominican is quite simple, but then it is almost impossible to “get rid” of such love.
4. By the way, girls in this country can get married from the age of 15. This is possible with the permission of the parents. That is why local girls celebrate their 15th birthday more pompously than coming of age, which comes at 18. Even there is a separate name for this holiday - Quinces.
5. Children in this country are brought up completely and entirely by women, men are allowed only for harmless games with babies and “serious” conversations with growing guys. Children in the Dominican Republic are very fond of, perhaps this is due to the ban on abortion and frequent "early" marriages.
6. It is completely normal to contact unknown woman"amor" or "mi vida". From Spanish, these expressions are translated as "love" and "my life." reverent attitude towards female gender and complete absence"subtext" under such an appeal, make the rest in the Dominican Republic truly comfortable.
7. There are brothels in the Dominican Republic where you can easily find a girlfriend for one night. Interestingly, in each such institution there is a sign stating that the girls of this brothel do not provide their services on credit.
8. Almost all local girls are quite attractive. In 2003, the young Dominican Amelia Vega Polanco received the honorary title of Miss Universe.
9. The famous Hollywood actress of the past years was also born here, who was the first to act in the “big” mainland cinema from Latin Americans. Her name is Maria Montes, and she comes from the desert Barahona, surrounded by numerous cactus groves.

So, a traveler who wants to make acquaintance with a local beauty must have three essential properties: he must speak Spanish. English language also in use, but to get to know the majority of the local population, you still need Spanish or French. Also, the traveler must be charismatic - closed, unsmiling people will find it difficult to establish personal contact with the Dominican. The absence of a smile in this country is considered “bad” tone and something suspicious. Despite the fact that Dominicans are not obsessed with money, the guy will have to pay in all establishments. Miserly people are not liked anywhere.

When traveling in the Dominican Republic, you don't have to be afraid to get to know the locals. For the most part, they are kind, cheerful people with a rich inner world and pleasant manners.

The Dominican Republic is the most visited country in the Caribbean. Every year millions of tourists come here, but most of them rarely leave the territory of the hotels, enjoying the delights of an all-inclusive holiday. And behind the fences of hotels, life is in full swing, there is a land where there are not only snow-white beaches and coconut palms, but also high mountains, seething waterfalls, coral reefs, picturesque deserts, colonial cities and tiny villages inhabited by amazingly friendly smiling people.

Following in the footsteps of Columbus, Bigpiccha set out on a long journey through the wonderful island of Hispaniola. The Dominican Republic is an amazing paradise on Earth, where it is so easy to leave your heart forever. I would like to tell about it everything that we learned during the ten days of travel through the whole republic. These facts are first-hand, because our trip was supervised by real Dominican specialists from the local Ministry of Tourism, and we can show it through the prism of Pentax photographic equipment from Ricoh Imaging.

1. For all travelers and numerous tourists, the Dominican Republic is, first of all, luxurious beaches with white sand. From the north, the island is washed by the Atlantic Ocean, from the south by the Caribbean Sea, and the total length of the Dominican beaches is more than a thousand kilometers. By the way, although in most advertising photos the sand is most often white, in fact the shades of the beaches on the island are very diverse.

2. The flag of the Dominican Republic is red, white and blue with a Bible in the middle. Red symbolizes struggle, blue - freedom, white - the strength of the people.

3. Dominicans, like all inhabitants of the Caribbean, are very contemplative people. Those who are not accustomed to such a relaxed lifestyle may call it idleness or banal laziness. But it personally seems to me that this is not laziness, but a very valuable ability to live here and now, when you begin to truly appreciate the simple joys of life, living deeply and keenly in the present moment. But there are also costs of this contemplation - like the Dominican "punctuality", which affects the local service... Arrived in the Dominican Republic - be patient. If you were promised something “in five minutes”, be prepared to wait half an hour or an hour. The local "manana" (Spanish for "tomorrow") means that you will have to train your patience much more thoroughly. Well, the Dominican "the day after tomorrow" means "never."

4. After the introduction of the embargo on Cuba, the Dominican Republic seized the palm in the production of cigars, and today there are probably more cigar factories and manufactories in the Dominican Republic than breweries in Germany. Every village has a cigar shop and people who roll those cigars. This is done exclusively by hand. A worker can roll up to three hundred cigars a day.

5. Mama Juana is a property of the local traditional medicine, a tincture of a mixture of dried stems and leaves of seven native plants, said to be a powerful aphrodisiac. Alcohol is poured into the bottle (it can be any, even the cheapest wine and rum), honey is added and insisted for three weeks, after which the Dominican Viagra is ready for use. But you need to use it in moderation - just one glass at a time. But when the contents of the bottle are over, it can be filled with alcohol again and again.

6. Local currency - Dominican peso. At the time of writing, the peso was trading at roughly 43.5 to one against the dollar. Therefore, small coins and banknotes in one peso as in the photo are no longer in use. In tourist regions, you can easily pay in dollars, but it is still more profitable to pay in local currency. All prices in stores are marked with a $ sign - this is how the Dominican peso is designated - like the American dollar, but with one dash.

7. In the Dominican Republic, chicken meat is unusually tasty, which forms the basis of the diet along with rice and beans. La Bandera Dominicana (Dominican flag) is the name of a simple meal of ordinary Dominicans. La bandera includes rice ( White color), bean stew and meat (red) and vegetable salad(probably blue). This simple meal is eaten every day, which means that such meals are as constant here as the daily raising of the flag.

8. Even living very modestly, a Dominican woman goes to the hairdresser at least once a week to get her hair done, manicures and pedicures. Due to the local climate and genetics, hair and nails grow especially fast here. Most of the inhabitants of the island have curly hair, so straightening the hair has been a local trend for many years. Most hair products sold in local stores are designed to straighten hair. I must admit - straight hair is very suitable for mulattoes.

9. Curlers are often used to straighten hair. At the same time, there is nothing shameful for Dominican women to appear in this form on the street. Putting a special mesh on top of the curlers, they, without any embarrassment, go out to people, travel around in transport, etc. Unfortunately, there was no street “bow curler” among my photos, so I will illustrate this fact with a picture taken in a small village “beauty salon”. This establishment near Jarabacoa was a modest shed by the side of the road.

10. Decommissioned school buses from the States roam around the Dominican Republic here and there. This is somewhat reminiscent of the abundance of various vehicles with German inscriptions on Ukrainian roads: what is already substandard in the USA or Germany, in simpler countries - solid cars.

11. In all-inclusive hotels, birds are sure to walk around the territory - flamingos, swans, herons, peacocks, ducks and even ordinary chickens. The simpler the hotel, the less flamingos and more chickens 🙂

12. Dominican cats do not understand either the Russian “kis-kis” or the American-British “kiri-kiri”. If you want to contact the local mustachioed-striped ones, use the call sign "Mis-Mis-Mis". And the most popular cat name on the island is Mauricio (like our Vaska).

13. In shops for tourists, funny paintings in the style of Haitian naive are found everywhere. All of them are unusually poisonous-bright, somewhat monotonous, but still there is a certain charm in them.

14. Most of the Dominican military is involved in protecting the borders with Haiti. At the same time, the border is equipped very conditionally. So, for example, looks like a border checkpoint near Himani in the province of Independesia, where we visited during our trip. The gates open twice a week, according to a spokesman for the tourism ministry, but judging by the traffic, that's not entirely true.

15. On both sides of the gate is a large market where Dominicans and Haitians trade in bulk. Haitians mainly sell humanitarian aid, which is brought to them from all over the world in order to save them, the poor. Well, they are saved as best they can.

16. The concept of "rainy season" in the Dominican Republic, in general, does not exist. In the Dominican Republic, an umbrella is mainly intended to protect against the sun, because it rains mostly at night or an hour and a half in the afternoon. Of course, there is more rain from May to September than at other times of the year. But comparing these rains with Indian monsoons or Thai tropical downpours is not worth it.

17. Horses are often used as transport. In the depths of the island, you can meet local Rossinantes, simply grazing without any supervision along the roadsides. Dominican horses are short and rather unsightly. There are many hinnies and mules.

18. The Dominican Republic is a rather dirty country: things are not going well with garbage recycling, and all roadsides, beaches and other places are densely covered with bottles, plastic, bags. For example, this photo was taken on the picturesque and completely deserted beach of Playa Saladia in the non-tourist region of Barahona.

19. Dominicans are big fans of the lottery. Even in the most remote, God-forgotten places, far from civilization, there will definitely be a banca (Spanish - “lottery”) and, perhaps, more than one. In small villages, these are flimsy sheds, in cities - more impressive establishments, like the one in the photo. And the locals are always ready to take their hard-earned money there to pay their “dream tax”.

20. By the roads you can often meet people who are idly standing or sitting in large or small groups, watching what is happening around, communicating. Watching pictures of life and communicating with others is on the list of Dominicans' favorite things, along with songs and dances.

48. Motorcycle is one of the main modes of transport on the island. They move on it not only three together (including small children), but also four or six. Many people ignore helmets.

49. You should not associate the Dominican Republic with the voodoo cult. Of course, your every whim will be fulfilled here for your money: resourceful guides arrange individual meetings with exemplary Haitian voodoo shamans. But Dominicans are zealous Catholics: more than 96% of the country's population professes Catholicism.

50. The Dominican Republic has its own Russian diaspora, most of which lives in the resort town of Bavaro. Some come here for a few months, someone gets a residence permit or Dominican citizenship, since it is not so difficult to do this, just like buying a property or setting up a business.

51. Like many poor countries with a well-developed tourism infrastructure, the Dominican Republic is a country of sex tourism, including female tourism. Local young men of pleasant appearance hunt for foreign tourists, though not so much for them as for their wallets. Such gigolos in the DR are called sled-punks. This word most likely comes from the English phrase "hanky panky" i.e. "Shura-mura", and became popular and commonly used after the comedy Sanky-Panky came out in 2007. The film is about a young Dominican who comes to Bavaro looking for a wealthy "gringo" to take him in or give him a green card.

52. The Taino Indians, the same ones who lived on the island when Columbus discovered it and who gave the island its name (Haiti in their language means "highland"), left behind a rich legacy, part of which are numerous Indian gods. In modern Dominican Republic, clay ethnic figurines can be seen everywhere, like this one, dedicated to the goddess of the Moon, the daughter of the Dawn.

53. Dominicans are a very musical nation. It is absolutely normal if a person here hums or dances at work, even if it is a salesman or a bank employee. Music plays an important role in the life of Dominicans. It has always generated something fresh and melodic thanks to synthesis different cultures and nationalities that melted in the Dominican cauldron. Today in the world of electronic music appeared "El Dembow Dominicano" - a rhythmic mix dance electronica that "rocks".

54. The Dominicans gave the world the famous "social dances" - merengue and bachata (and musical styles of the same name). Evening dancing is a favorite pastime. Merengue is played with three instruments: tambora (a small drum), guira (a metal percussion piece in the photo) and an accordion.

56. One of the picturesque sights of the island is Los Altos de Chavon, a town of artists stylized as the European Middle Ages, which was built in the 70s as potential scenery for films. Today there is a design school, galleries, museums, many shops, cafes and the like.

57. In the village of artists Altos de Chavon has its own "Greek" amphitheater for 5 thousand seats, where concerts of world-class stars are regularly held. The amphitheater was built in 1982 with funds from Frank Sinatra.

58. In 1979, the Church of St. Stanislaus was opened in Los Altos de Chavon, where Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley later got married. And today, in the town of artists in particular, and on the island in general, many weddings are held - many couples from all over the world prefer to marry in the Dominican Republic.

59. A lot of illegal immigrants flee from Haiti. The main task of the military of the Dominican Republic is to contain this frenzied pressure, and about 90% of the army is engaged precisely in guarding the border. Military checkpoints are constantly encountered in the border areas, cars are regularly stopped for checks. Photographing military and military facilities is prohibited here. Thanks to the Pentax television for this shot.

60. There are many national parks in the Dominican Republic, showing all the diversity of local nature: from mountains with pine forests to pristine white sandy beaches. Reserves are one of the ways to earn money for the country, because tourists pay for entry into their territory.

61. The inhabitants of the island are characterized by racial diversity. Most of the inhabitants of the Dominican Republic are mulattoes, whose ancestors were native Indians, Spanish conquistadors and African slaves. White-skinned descendants of immigrants from the Canary Islands live in some regions, in the agricultural mountainous regions - the children and grandchildren of Japanese, Spaniards and Lebanese who came to raise local agriculture in the 60s.

63. Dominicans are very fond of women, and as open people they readily express their feelings. It is perfectly normal to call a woman “mi vida” (my life) or “amor”, and this does not carry a greasy connotation. Dominicans are generous with compliments and will always find something pleasant to say to a girl, even if she is not the first beauty in the village. Curvaceous forms and expressive priests are also appreciated here. And Dominican women, who are accustomed to male attention and constant praise, are more calm and self-confident than the average Slav women, and they know their worth well.

64. Numerous immigrants from Haiti work en masse in agriculture, construction, and trade. Breaking into a wealthy Dominican Republic compared to its Francophone neighbor is a real happiness, because many Haitians live on the verge of starvation. Officially, the Dominican Republic, with a population of 9.5 million, is home to about 3 million Haitians. But this is official, but it is not known how it really is. Unlike relaxed Dominicans, Haitians are not so big fans of being photographed - many prefer to turn away from the lens or even cover their faces.

66. The Dominican Republic is not only beautiful beaches with azure waves and hot desert regions overgrown with cacti. These are also mountains overgrown with pines and picturesque valleys with a cool climate. The main granary of the country is the Constanta Valley, located at an altitude of 1300 meters above sea level. Local lands are extraordinarily fertile, but mountain slopes can only be cultivated by hand - machinery will not work on such steep mountains.

67. Local agriculture provides all the needs of the island and generates most of the exports. In the 60s, the Dominican dictator Trujilio brought specialists from Europe and Japan to raise the country's agricultural sector. Many of them, as well as their children and grandchildren, still live on the island.

68. A chaotic interweaving of electrical wires is a common thing for the old city in Santo Domingo. When traveling to the country, be sure to take into account that the voltage in the local network is 110 volts, and the standard of sockets here is American, so you should take an adapter with you.

69. As in other Latin American countries, in the Dominican Republic, girls are considered to have reached the age of majority at 15 years old (Latinas, for the most part, mature quite early). The holiday of entry into adulthood is called Quinceañera and is celebrated on the 15th birthday. Pictured: a proud father and his 15-year-old daughter at the Santo Domingo Botanical Gardens.

70. Poor but happy Dominicans are very friendly people, it is not customary to shun their neighbors here. People live as one big family: usually, when they cook lunch or dinner, they always treat their neighbors. Dominicans are constantly in interaction - mutually beneficial and pleasant for both parties, perhaps because they do not tend to judge people, they are rather inclined to sympathy and mutual understanding.

71. In the Dominican capital is the first paved street in the New World: Dam Street. She appeared in 1502, after three dozen noble ladies from the entourage of Maria de Toledo, the wife of Diego Columbus, arrived in the city. There was absolutely nowhere for the girls to walk - there was dirt and earth everywhere, which is very harmful for crinolines, so a street was paved especially for them. In addition, the oldest cathedral in the New World is located in Santo Domingo - it was founded in 1514 by the same Diego Columbus, the son of the famous navigator.

72. The Dominican Republic is a favorite holiday destination for many celebrities, including people like Sting, Julio Iglesias, Jennifer Lopez, Vin Diesel, Donald Trump and others. Many of the stars buy their own villas on the island, but mostly in closed residences, like Casa De Campo, where “people from the street” cannot get in.

73. Dominicans are very devout people, it is not for nothing that they are the only people in the world who placed the Bible on the flag. Often these zealous Catholics say: “Si Dios permite” (“If God permits”), and religious stickers like this one are very popular on transport - “Lee la Biblia, solo Cristo salva” (“Read the Bible, only Jesus saves”).

74. Advertising in the Dominican Republic is most often painted with brushes and paint. Whether the matter is in the undeveloped printing industry, or in the strength of traditions - but everywhere you can find precisely drawn signs. Although we must pay tribute - all this hand-drawn advertising of lone handicraftsmen is not as clumsy as, for example, in Africa. It is very amusing to watch carefully traced logos of world companies and brand names, carefully written out with paint.

75. The Dominican Republic is a big and beautiful film set, because there are so many picturesque locations. Many films are shot in the province of La Romana, where the town of artists Los Altos De Chavon was actually built as a film set. Such famous films as Rimbaud 2 and Apocalypse Now were filmed on the Chavon River, and in 1974 the legendary film Godfather 2 was filmed in the colonial city of the Dominican capital. And this is not a complete list of pictures taken on the island. You can appreciate the beauty of the Dominican locations by the final scene of the film "Bandits" with Vin Diesel in the title role. By the way, he is a big fan of the Dominican Republic.

We thank representatives of the Ministry of Tourism of the Dominican Republic for organizing the trip, as well as Ricoh Imaging, including for the provided Pentax equipment.

The death of a naked Russian tourist Natalia Borodina in the Dominican Republic was caught on video. The topless girl climbed out of the window of a moving car and, unable to resist, fell.

Pampering while driving at high speed cost the life of a young tourist from Russia in the Dominican Republic. How shocking, so absurd death was caught on video.

The deceased was 35-year-old Russian citizen Natalya Borodina.

The incident occurred on the afternoon of October 11 on the way to Punta Cana Airport in the Dominican Republic. The tourist died on the spot from her injuries. Doctors diagnosed Borodina with an open fracture of the skull and polytrauma.

The footage was taken from inside a car - apparently by a friend of a tourist. As it became known, her companion from Ukraine Ivanna Boyrachuk was filming - perhaps later the girls wanted to show their fascinating vacation to their friends.

On the video - a beautiful young girl in a thong. A few seconds before her death, she is cheerful and very liberated (possibly under the influence of alcohol). In only white panties, she boldly demonstrates her magnificent breasts to the camera, makes depraved gestures and takes the same poses.

All this in a car that is moving along a busy road.

Then she decided to climb out of the window. A girl's scream is heard and the recording cuts off. Companion who ruled vehicle, slightly turned the steering wheel to the right, and Natalya hit her head on a road sign.

Naked Russian woman died in the Dominican Republic

The Dominican police detained the driver of the fatal car. She turned out to be a citizen of Ukraine Ivanna Boraichuk. According to the results of the examination, she was drunk. She drove the car with one hand, and with the other she filmed how her almost naked friend had fun in the car.

Later it became known that relatives of a Russian woman who died in the Dominican Republic cannot take out the body of a girl: they do not have money to deliver the remains of the deceased to their homeland.

Anzhelika, a friend of the sister of the deceased girl, told reporters about this: “Natalia in the Chelyabinsk region left her sister Yulia and her mother, who is already 80 years old. Her sister is raising her son, as well as Natalya’s son. .

The cost of transporting the body of the deceased is approximately one million two hundred thousand rubles, experts in tourist insurance say. Experts noted that this is the lower price threshold: the Dominican Republic is a very popular destination, so the amount required for the repatriation of the remains can rise significantly.

Angelica stressed that Natalia constantly lived in Cannes - this is the only thing that her relatives know. They cannot say where she worked - the girl did not tell the details of her life.

According to a friend of the sister of the deceased, she told her relatives that she was flying to the Dominican Republic. At the same time, she stated that Natalya flew to rest on her own, without purchasing any tours. The girl bought tickets, booked a hotel and rented a car, in which her life ended.

Residents of the Dominican Republic are dumbfounded by the ridiculous death of a 35-year-old Russian woman. Foreigners are actively discussing the tragedy on the Web.

The stories about the accident were shown on all local TV channels, and the residents of the republic began to argue about the woman's behavior before her death.

"The driver should be found guilty of manslaughter. Murder because you are recording a video while driving. If he had been focused on the road, he would have seen this pole or sign that killed the woman," said one of the residents of the Dominican Republic.

Another netizen suggested that the Russian woman herself is to blame for the tragedy. He suspected the deceased of using illegal substances: "At least had psychological problems, or used drugs." Still others are simply shocked by the girl's recklessness: "The whole brain turned into silicone boobs. The woman is disgusting, and she was the mother."
