Friendly neighbors

One of the most wonderful things about middle class DR, is that you really live in a community. People know each other. People help each other. People watch out for each other. People visit each other. People share with a neighbor in need.  I am fearful that this will pass, as it did in the South in the US, once AC started keeping everyone inside. But for now, we have this time together.

Yes, sometimes the neighbor's music is outrageously loud. But if he sees someone breaking into my apt., he is going to stop them. Being a good neighbor and having good neigbors for me is a real positive in This Dominican Life.
