It is my 7th week in the DR and lots has been going on! I am now living with 2 other students in an apartment in Gascue, a fun part of the city (still right on the ocean!). All of my classes have officially started, although little setbacks often prevent class from being held…which is fine with me. I am taking 5 classes in Spanish at 4 different universities—Literatura Latinoamericana at El Bonó, Desarollo Económico at INTEC, Historia del Arte Dominicana at la UASD (a HUGE university that looks like a California state school), a Spanish Language class at FLACSO, as well as a Pasantía (internship) class where we work for a non-profit organization. I have been interviewing for internships, so hopefully I will hear back soon and get to get started! Not much other news for now, so I will leave you with a few fun facts about the DR:
1) Pedestrians do not have the right of way.
2) Bare feet are considered inappropriate, and even disgusting.
3) The DR is the #2 happiest country in the world.
