He equalled his balance of niceness there . Right on !
He donated to charity with somebody else’s money. Its a nice gesture but still unethical. What if that money was a single mother’s only DI to feed their hungry child?
What’d he do with the other $50?
Beer, cigarettes and strippers.
About what I would use it one Miles haha
Maybe someone down in Haiti will use their $50 on beer, cigarettes, and strippers too. Probably need something to cheer them up after all the devastation!
I think this should have been in the love section…
another one sneaks by.
That man screwed up. He should have donated the money to a charity that issues tax receipts. Now he gets nothing in return.
In Haiti it’s probably rum, cigars and transvestite prostitutes….and you get a hell of a lot more of each for $50 too.
Where the hell are people going to get rum, cigars, and any type of prostitute from? The city is in ruins!
And Sebastian the Red Cross does issure tax receipts
What?….too soon?
It’s too soon isn’t it?
Fine…$50 will get you bottled water, energy bars and some antibiotics. I’m sending my stripper money to them today!
*Mind Snap*, even in the face of disaster and tragedy, people still need to have some fun! Some rum, cigars, and strippers may be exactly what the people of Haiti need to boost spirits and start to rebuild and party.
Go next door to the DR…they’ve got great rums & lots of cigars, I perfer their hand rolled cigars to Cubans. Plus they haven’t cut down every tree in threir country.!!
Care to comment on the tranny hookers More?
I never bothered trying the tranny hookers.
But the beach girls were nice .
The first time I went there it was a little disconcerting, to hear a loud Hissss come from areas that were up above the high water mark, but that was the way these women would get your attention.
If you find yourself renting one of these lovelies…remember they like tips !
So give them their money (it won’t be much) & give them perfume, candles are a big hit & for some reason so are chocolate bars .
But I never met any Trannies…i guess I’ve been going to the wrong places, but I’ve been to Punta Cana, Puerta plata, Sousua, Cabaretti, Luperon, I’ve visited that country 7 times & I recommend it…but not Puerta plata so much…too many people all crowded together, Cabaretti, Luperon & Punta Cana were much less crowded.
If you want to really get good deals, you have to leave the resorts.
Go to a real market place where the locals shop.
When looking for cigars, look for shops with the Presidente seal, prominantly displayed on their sigh. They are only allowed to be displayed by shops that meet the requirements to hand roll Dominican Cigars & everyone I’ve been in has a walk in Humidor & a great selection of their Products.
You can get cigars everywhere…but the difference is your getting the real deal.
Hey More, I’m lookin into going to Kona, Hawaii in April, you ever been there? Have any recomendations?
I’ve only been to Oahu, the island is amazing.
I want to go back there & see the big Island. If your going to Kona you’ll be on the big island. I definately will get there to see the volcano’s & go to Maui, but I never had a chance…12 days in Oahu were definately not enough. So if you are going to be on an even bigger island…I hope you’ve got lots of time there.
