Day Five
By this time with our experience in Santiago, everything has
turned into a routine, with the days starting out as breakfast then going to
class, our lunch break then an afternoon session with ISA. Our session today
was a professor from the local university came in and spoke to us about the
Dominican and Haitian relations. He spoke a lot about the history and the
independence that the Dominicans have as well.
After all the business was handled we took the rest of the
day to have some fun and hangout at our classmates Home-stays. We were all
looking for an opportunity to step out and see what the nightlife in the
Dominican Republic was all about. From the word of mother of other classmates’
host-siblings, we found out that there was a “Ladies Night” at a near by club
called Dubai. With it being ladies night, all ladies were able to get in for
free and drink for free. I don’t know how it happened but I know the guy in our
group got in for free, lucky us!

We arrived
very early so there weren’t many people in the club but we enjoyed listening to
the music that they were playing. Not too much different from what we were used
to in the states, but it was a pleasure to see the influence American music had
on their songs. Many of the songs they played may have used some of the similar
beats and ballads in their songs.

As time has
passed, people begin to pour in the club and they ended up playing American
music in the club. One thing I found interesting was that their drinks were
really strong and that it is a norm that Dominicans have 2-3 drinks in an
outing, and Americans we almost drink until we can’t no more. Needless to say, I woke up with one of the
worst hangover’s I’ve ever had. Ahhhh I hate those!!
