City of 300,000. It's in the Cibao region
of the country, and is surrounded by rice
and cocoa farms mostly, but there are
also lot of plantains, bananas, oranges,
avacadoes, pigeon peas, pineapples,
cherries, and mangoes. I basically
live in the fertile belt which rocks
because I even get broccoli and
cauliflower here. The people here
are great though, very open and willing
to help you out with anything. You
can always hear merengue or bachata (like
a version of country) music playing at
any corner store (called colmados).
Spanish is the language spoken in the DR.
