A little culture: The Dominican Republic is part of the island the Hispaniola the other part is occupied by Haiti. In 1492 Columbus discovered the Island and it became the site of the first permanent European settlement in the Americas. After 3 centuries of being ruled by Spain the country became independent in 1821. But it was quickly taken over by Haiti and gaining its independence once again in 1844. Since then the country has been independent. People in the Dominican Republic are full of life and every is treated like family, which is why I have decide to put a bit of my culture and family in this site. We have a saying in the Dominican Republic that says "Barriga llena, Corazon contento" or "Full belly, content heart."
