When I arrived here in mid-March, there was a curfew. The cases decreased, the curfew was lifted. Since about 14 days the cases are increasing, curfew again. What does a curfew look like here? Dominican!
From 15.00: no alcohol served in restaurants but stores are allowed to sell. What do the resourceful guests do? They bring the rum to the bar and pour it into the cocktail.
From 17.00: no swimming in the sea. The police go along the beaches and get the people out of the water :-). Why? Because the Dominicans stand around in the sea on weekends in large groups, close to each other, chatting, laughing, singing- and drinking.
Between 21.00 and 23.00: Curfew. Because it takes two hours to go home?
Curfews are climatic and cultural!
Doesn't matter, life takes place outside here anyway!Read more
