Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic



Security from Port Authority

The Dominican Republic is located in East of Jamaica.
But, I don't want you to mix up with Haiti.
Haiti is next to the Dominican Republic in west of same island.

People say the criminal rate is so high in the Dominican Republic.
In fact, I'm surprised that many bartendars carry the guns all the time.
As if it's really dangerous, the officer in Port Authority suggested me
casting anchor in front of commander office.
Just in case, they arranged two securities for me.


"Cheers!" with a police officer and a soldier
Even though they are on job, they never refused to drink with me.
I can't forget that a police officer and a soldier who had a rifle
on his shoulder drunk beer with me.
It was an international situation.
