10 Things Not to Do in Dominican Republic
Get more Tips here!
We've already told you about some awesome things to do in the Dominican Republic, but what about the things NOT to do there? To stop you receiving Chiclets from a Colmado, or making off with a Sanky Panky you’ll want to hear our list of 10 things not to do in the Dominican Republic!
1) Don't Forget to Relax
The Dominican Republic has an easy-going rhythm of life accentuated by the sea. This is the perfect place to kick back and relax. So if you have a hectic day-to-day life and you want to hit pause for awhile, you’ve come to the right place. Or you could just soldier on with your daily slog and stay at home. Sure.
2) Don't Trust a Sanky Panky
You'll find them on the beach or at resorts. These hunky, adorable men may look just perfect. But beware! They'll try to conquer your heart, just to get a marriage visa to your native country, marry you, then abandon you. So, be wary of these Sanky Pankys.
3) Don't Expect to Ride Alone
You can always fit one more person into a bus or public taxi. So if you and your 3 friends are happily travelling to your destination in a taxi cab, don’t be surprised if the driver suddenly stops to pick up another person! Sharing a ride is a very normal thing here.
4) Don't Forget About Music
The African and African-Cuban influence is deeply present in the local dance cultrure, with merengue being the dominant beat, typically played by a three-person band. There are festivals throughout the year, and international merengue celebrations that attract music lovers from all over the world.
5) Don't Forget to Bring Change
A colmado is primarily a local convenience store. However, they don't usually have too much change. So if you buy something with a big note, and they don't have enough money to give you your change, they'll try to pay you nine chiclets or anything of a similar price. So unless you want to fill your wallet with chewing gum sweets, bring some loose change!
6) Don't be Precise!
Here, if you say chin once, that means a little bit, but if you say chin-chin then it means a tiny bit. Unless you say un poquito which is kind of a bit. So forget trying to be accurate!
7) Don't Forget to Haggle!
In Dominican Republic, they love bargaining. They expect you to negotiate down to the last cent. But be wise, don't wear expensive jewelry if you want to get a cheap offer, and if you see something you like don’t rush in and try to purchase it straight away. Look round and compare.
8) Don't Forget the Golden Rule!
We don’t get tired of repeating that when travelling, you don’t always know where your food has come from. So always remember these three rules: Cook it, Peel it, or Forget it! And you'll enjoy a trip with no unfortunate mishaps...
9) Don't Forget to Try Alcanfor
While the rest of us might use camphor to keep our clothes moth free, Dominicans go one step further. Alcanfor is a plant that they use for medicinal purposes to treat arthritis, asthma, back-ache, bronchitis, flatulence, headache and many other conditions. Some even pop some in the pot when cooking sweet dishes.
10) Don't Stop Being Cautious
Due to political unrest, unstable economy and high unemployment, there is an important level of crime lurking in the Dominican society. You should take great care with your valuables at all times. Tourists are often conned into various compromising situations.

Dzanga Bai - Central African Republic HD
Dzanga Bai is the best place in the world to study forest elephants. They are here 24 hours a day, with each elephant spending hours to days in these peaceful surroundings. The forest elephant is smaller than its savannah cousin, rarely reaching more than 8 feet in height. Its ivory is denser, fetching a higher price and attracting poachers. It is estimated that 10% of the population of perhaps 150,000 forest elephants are killed each year in the Congo Basin.
The Ba'Aka pygmies are among the oldest inhabitants of the Congo Basin, living mostly as hunters and gatherers. Although there is some trading with their Bantu neighbors, they owe their total existence to the natural resources which nature has endowed on their habitat: the rain forest.
Due to their remote habitat, recent studies estimate that more than 100,000 lowland gorillas exist in the wild, as compared to only 750 mountain gorillas. This is the species most often found in zoos.

HELLO FROM PANAMA - my 191st country! That means I have only 6 left until I can say that I have visited every country in the world :D
Join me in my 36th episode of my $10 series to see how many things I can get in Panama City's vibrant district called Casco Viejo. To be honest, this city is A LOT more expensive than I imagined -- think New York prices -- so it was a bit of a challenge to find cheap things to buy.
But nonetheless, I had a blast making this video and I can't wait to tell you more stories about Panamanian food and culture over the next 4 days.

Les Chutes de Boali (Boali Waterfalls) in Boali, Central African Republic
Boali Falls are one of the most interesting falls that can be found on the African continent, which are located next to the city which has same name, Boali, within the Central African Republic.
Forming on the M’Bari River, they fall down nearly from a vertical cliff of schist. During the dry season, the Boali Falls do not have that much of a water and there can be seen among the wide cliffs, trees that grow among them, however, during the rainy season the falls are filling with water and they become so powerful and very impressive, covering most of the small trees.
Their height is around 50 meters (164 feet) and 250 meters (820 feet) wide. On the M’Bari River there are two hydroelectric dams, built before and after the waterfalls. These two dams supply the capital city Bangui with electricity, and are one of the most important source for making pressure on the government if one wants to organize a coup d’état, as it is usually in the country. The latest scenario was in March 2013.
Nonetheless, due to the instability in the country, the falls are gaining some popularity among the tourists who dare to visit the country, and with the hotel and restaurant located on top of the falls, it becomes a major point of interest for foreigners.
