Differences between living in the USA and the Dominican Republic

[Jarbacoagold]

1) The only people Gold prospecting are Foreigners
2) Milk comes in a box with a 3+ month shelf life
3) Nobody walks their dogs, they walk their roosters
4) Drivers license, who needs a stinkin' license.
5) Traffic lights. They have to have a policeman direct traffic under the lights.
6) Drinking is permitted anywhere, I mean anywhere. While driving, Walking down the street, ect....
7) Hot water is a luxury.
Cool 1.6 million motorcycles in the country, 584 thousand street legal, less than 2000 people licensed to drive them.
9) Ice, whats that?
10) Everyone owns some sort of livestock

More to come......

Looks nice! Usually prospectors here, use the equipment like sluices, high banker, or dry washer to get concentrates. A plastic pan then, is used to swirl around the concentrates, move the black sand away from the gold. This is done in a 14" pan, held level and about 2" of water. You move the pan in a circular motion...gold stays different places, the black sand piles up in one spot. A small plastic squeeze bottle (snuffer bottle) with a tube and full of water, turned upside down, to suck up small bits of gold from the pan.

the reason that chickens are so "popular" is cockfighting is very popular and is often a source of both income and pride to them -- the losing cock is often cooked and eaten with a few "el presidente" beers by the cock fighter loser and his freinds

Yep,I was going to explain the rooster walking.....its that way in many foreign countries
