I'm dominican. My parents are, too. I feel very identified with my origins. I can firmly admit that I was born in the perfect place. There is no place like the Dominican Republic. This is because its culture has been shaped by a fusion of different cultures, which are individually rich in itself. Nowhere else in the world you can find a combination of European, African and Taino-indian cultural traits.
This integration of rich cultures are those that continue to shape the social identity of the current Dominican people. Our culture is special, and is strongly reflected in every aspect of daily life, from tasty meals to the music with catchy rhythms, in other words perico ripiao.
Dominicans are animated people, that always think positively, and are always willing to help others. Politeness is a very important aspect of social interaction.
The Dominican Republic enjoys a tropical climate year-round. I believe its because of this that we are always in a good mood.
The culture of my country is varied and colorful, and so it is our territory whose capital is Santo Domingo, which retains ancient treasures for being the first city in the New World.
As I'm Dominican, I appreciate my roots and customs and I always try to keep them, to endure and expand its wealth.
