hey i really think you should go to the dominican republic real good food. whenever i go i gain like 5 pounds. if you choose to go i think you should stop by the small towns, they may look crappy but they have the best street food. maybe talk to some locals, eat some home-cooked meals. it is always hot so you should throw yourself in a river because there are a lot of those everywhere. thank you & i hope you go visit one day!
