I'm actually learning something

From my last 2 posts it may seem like it's one big fiesta down here for me .. but I'm actually studying really hard.

Although, I'm having a blast hanging with mis amigos and haven't left the city yet (it's really big) so no adventure sports (unless trying to dance bachata like a dominican qualifies) The city is great though - mucha vida ! full of life. Unlike last time I live in a very basic apartment typically Dominican in a typical barrio .. i.e. this aint no tourist trip. I don't get hassled on the street much cause until I talk most people assume I'm Dominican which is cool ... they have a category for just about every complexion or ethnic mixture here and I've been classed as a Jabao because of my racial mix (and rubio as a sub-cat because of my blondish beard)

Every afternoon following class I spend a few hrs in the park (lots here) studying solo .. I read the newspaper daily underlining words I don't know and looking them up for my flashcards later .. to boost my vocab

Some of the other students are impressed with my speaking ability. I had dinner last night with som of the other students and I was able to communicate easier with the Dominicans than they were. I guess cause I'm picking up not only what they say but how they say it

Dimelo Motra que lo que

Horita me voy
