Funny how some people don't like Luperon and others do. Official corruption? same as just about anywhere else in the Spanish Caribbean. Disgusting ex-pats? Same kind of folks I found around the docks in Florida and the U.S. Virgins? Abject poverty? I guess that particular observer has had some very limited experience with other parts of the world. Dominicans are certainly far from wealthy in a material sense, but they have a good diet and seem to enjoy their lives. Filthy? Less so than it used to be. Perhaps this observer doesn't remember what the U.S. looked like before Lady Bird Johnson's beautification push in the 1960s.
