Dominican Republic for tourists: white beaches and muddy streets
I started exploring the Caribbean from the Dominican Republic. Having passed almost half of the island, I can say with confidence that this country is quite poor, and its main income is tourism and agricultural activities. Sugarcane, tobacco and coffee are grown here. That is why by ...
What Ukrainian wives teach American husbands
As it turned out, Ukrainian women accustom their American husbands to economy, slippers and vegetables. And they us - to loans and dental floss. Any happy marriage (or at least "functional", as they say here) is a compromise, grinding into friend's character and habits ...
