Santo Domingo, the capital of the dominican republic

The island of Hispaniola, which today is the home of the Dominican Republic and the Republic of Haiti, was originally home to the Taino Indians. The Taino's were ruled by a cacique (cheif) and an impressively complex central government system. When the Europeans first arrived on Hispaniola, headed by Christopher Columbus, in 1492, the Spanish overpowered the Taino government and civilization. Christopher Columbus' brother, Bartholomew Columbus, officially founded the city of Santo Domingo on August 5, 1498. However, the city actually dates back to 1496, when the first Europeans settled in the area.

Lamentable que nuestro pais se vea de esa manera. Es cierto que Santo Domingo tiene areas muy lindas pero la realidad es que nosotros no hacemos conciencia de que cada solar o espacio verde que tienen nuestros barrios no son para tirar la basura. Somos un pais Hermoso pero debemos ser mas patrioticos y cuidar nuestra imajen. y a la larga seremos los mas beneficiados, pues habran menos brotes de enfermedades, menos malos olores y seremos la 6ta maravilla del mundo. No basuras en las calles.

What the f%$ck people, this is truth video. This "IS" the DR too, and if you can't except this part than you are delusional.

Si no te gusta este video eres parte del problema, La Republica Dominicana es linda y fea, dulce y agrio como cualquier otro lugar.
