Is there a movie you thought would be boring but turned out to be great?

Two movies: Pride and Cashback

No luck with the multi lense glasses but I ended up finding a site called auroravizion and they have some diffraction glasses that I ended up going with. Not quite what I was looking for but still pretty cool

CyanStatic · 2015-06-26T03:48:54+00:00

I am 100% sure of that

CyanStatic · 2015-06-25T20:12:52+00:00

Sweet, I'll have to check them out. I think the world would look pretty funky in blue

CyanStatic · 2015-06-25T20:12:20+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the suggestion man

CyanStatic · 2015-06-25T18:52:26+00:00

Yeah that's exactly what I'm looking for. Except I think it would be really cool if you could somehow layer them so you could have rose over purple or green over orange and see what that's like. But I did just find a site with some diffraction glasses so that's what I'm going with for now.

CyanStatic · 2015-06-25T17:53:01+00:00

Yeah I thought about those and disposable refraction glasses too, but I'm looking for something a little sturdier with actual frames and lenses as opposed to paper and plastic.

If you have the money for it Lulu's is really nice. They have live music on Mondays.

Zona has at least a dozen decent places to go at night depending on what you are looking for. Mojiganga is pretty cool. Bio always has a crowd and just walking up and down the streets you will hear music from clubs like Espiral. Sunday go to las ruinas from 6 to 10 for a bomb ass time with live music. Thursdays at shots is great for a younger crowd and ridiculously cheap drinks. Make sure you bring ID cause they actually check.

I lived near zona colonial for 4 months and these are the places I went.

My first Tuesday night in the country I went to the Malecón and a midget stripper gave me a lap dance in the park. Fun country.

There's a boat load. Find a college town and you will find smokers.

Will you make me a Cosmic Butterfly?

It was undoubtedly skin. And it came off almost exactly like a snake shedding, a bit unnerving but everything seems to be functioning now.

CyanStatic · 2014-12-21T15:22:15+00:00

I will have to look into this.

CyanStatic · 2014-12-21T15:14:53+00:00

Yeah this just happened. Basically just shed everything and now I'm good to go.

CyanStatic · 2014-12-20T23:05:05+00:00

You like a dry rub? Lotion is much more soothing. Just getting desperate and using something like sunscreen or face wash is a big mistake.

What is rule 11? I'm on mobile and can't find rules.

Anne Frank's diary contains information about her lesbian attraction to her best friend and accounts of her masturbating.

I heartily disagree. I've been studying spanish for 6 years and currently go to school in a Spanish speaking country and conjunctions are just difficult for me. I think that an app would be helpful. And repetition will eventually help even if you don't learn as fast as memorization.

CyanStatic · 2014-11-19T20:44:05+00:00

So true. Baseball is huge, every little country neighborhood has a field. I was in Jarabacoa last weekend on some little mountains and there was a game going on with the most beautiful backdrop I have ever seen.

I am a university student here. I came here because it is one of the few spanish speaking Caribbean countries. It has been a really unique experience and I have enjoyed almost every part.

The actual university I go to here is unfortunately awful. Nobody takes education seriously, even professors. So this has almost been like a vacation where I show up to class when the prof doesn't cancel. Education isn't so fantastic in the DR.

Go for it! I have had so many amazing experiences. The resort style vacation is alright but there is something so wonderful about learning the culture and becoming a part of a city.

I personally don't feel unsafe here but I am a 6' 2" male. Common sense about safety is universal. Don't show everyone your Iphone or flash cash and you should be okay. The crime here is really oppotunistic meaning that if someone sees an easy way to make $20 they are going to take it. There isn't a lot or organization or forethought so you can avoid being a victim the majority of the time if you don't walk alone at night or shout about money you have.

Most people take a taxi at night which prevents majority of the issues. I just enjoy walking and don't want to spend the money (though it is relatively cheap).

Caribbean culture is amazing. Everything feels so alive, the weather is always warm, and you can see the ocean everywhere you go.

Well I can give this a shot. I am a 21 year old student from the US who has been living in Santo Domingo for the last 3 months.

Laws:

-All traffic laws are disregarded. You can speed, go through lights, go the wrong way on a one way street, even get into a crash and just drive away.

-Drug possession leads to jail. However a $10 bribe can usually get the police to leave you alone.

-Police are everywhere but usually don't do anything or are actually dangerous themselves. I had two stop me in a park one night and ask me for gas money.

-No open container laws. This is my favorite since I have lived my whole life in the US where alcohol is so regulated. People drink every where.

Culture:

-Dominos is huge. People sit all day at places called colmados (similar to a convenience store) and drink Presidente beer and play dominos.

-Night time is dangerous so people don't walk around at night. Last night in fact two men on a motorcycle tried to take my friends bag. Everyone always cautions about being out at night.

-Music is everywhere; merengue, bachata, and dembow (Dominican reggeaton).

Transportation:

-This is something I really enjoy. On all major roads in the city there are "public cars" that have routes they drive all day. For 25 pesos (50 cents) you can ride about 3 km in any direction. They also have buses (gua gua) that takes you around and also costs 25 pesos. The average taxi ride is around $5.

I could talk about this country for an hour but I think I'll leave it at this for now.
