- Jarabacoa Flower Festival -
Once a year all of Jarabacoa comes out to for a big party: and it’s the Jarabacoa Flower Festival. It originated with the Japanese immigrants. But Jarabacoa has always been well known for its flowers. Due to its mild climate Jarabacoa became on of the central points on the island for growing flowers that aren’t as common in other places on the island.
Orchids for example are a flower that is not unique to Jarabacoa, but pretty common here, especially in the wild. This fact, plus the Japanese immigration in the 50s that encouraged the growing and exporting of flowers, turned Jarabacoa into the a pivotal point for anything that grows with more colors than just green. The event lasts for 4 days, usually towards the end of June. It always sets up somewhere around the Jarabacoa avenue.
So what can you do here? Well, besides buying flowers at special offers, you can indulge in just enjoying a stroll through what we'll call a tiny state fair. A month earlier they even elect a Queen of the Festival who then represent the town in other event throughout the island. For the most part the festival is visited by Dominicans, but you will also see the odd foreigner. They're easy to spot, especially if they're Americans: they're pretty much the only ones wearing shorts. True, it's a stereotype, but the evidence ain't helping the argument.
You can eat, buy artisanal decorations, jewelry, various exhibitions, enjoy free coffee and free concerts. During the day there are presentations by local artists and in the evening more nationally known artist show up for a few sets of their more popular songs. Dancing is optional.
There is a cover charge of 10 pesos per day, which is about 20 cents. Saturdays has the flower parade, an event that also features — besides floats, bands and cheerleaders — Jarabacoa's second indulgence: horses. People come from all over the island joining in the cabalgada: a cavalcade, or procession of horsemen, along the Jarabacoa avenue. You'll get to see several million dollars worth of paso fino horses riding down the street. That in itself is quite the impressive show. I mean, most of us can imagine a car worth being a million bucks, but a horse?
Now granted, by most standards the Jarabacoa flower fair is kind of small. Then again, Jarabacoa is still a village aspiring to become a town. It has no industry, but does rely almost entirely on agriculture, exporting vegetables, coffee and, well, flowers. The festival has only been going on for about 6 years, but it has been growing consistently.
So if you're in town and got an afternoon to to spare, swing by.

A visit to a Cassava Bread bakery (if you can call it that) in the so-called "Capital of Cassava" in the village of Moncion, in the Dominican Republic. Hosted by none other than Mike, star of the award-winning webseries Rubberside Down.
Shot on a hand-held 550D, back when I had no idea how to use it. Still, not too shabby. Now of course I got Magic Lantern installed, use an H1 as my external microphone and do a fairly nifty job in editing and cinematography. Oh, how things have changed.
Say, does anyone actually read this? Or am I just talking to myself here? I mean, it is hidden most of the time. And it contains all the cool stuff. Kind of like the credits in a movie. Soon as the credits roll, they throw the lights on and everyone marches out of the theater. I hate that. I like to sit and wait for all the names to pass by. Maybe I'm just waiting for mine to appear. I dunno. It's all very meta if you think about it. But I'm rambling. I also had an Appletini. Not too bad, although the mix tasted a bit like apple-flavored bubble gum. And the vodka was almost frozen. Seriously? Frozen vodka? Well, a vodka-slushy. Still, this shouldn't happen. That's what I get for buying the cheap stuff. At least I don't buy much of it. These days, who can afford it? The way the economy is going down the drain, I feel sorry for anyone who actually has to work for a living. Oh, wait, what do I do? Right, I work for a living. Man, what a downer. Maybe I should just go on kickstarter and ask for support for the project "My Life: help me make it even cooler than the one I already got". 'Cause if you think about it, it's not that bad. I work for a living. I get to make youtube videos. And I got an Appletini. Did I mention that? I may have.
Are you still reading this? Sheesh... Get a life! Seriously. Go away.
Or head on over to http://kiskeya.life and learn more!

Transcript:
Santo Domingo Airport is the sixth busiest airport in the caribbean, and the second largest on the island. It used to be the largest until it was overtaken by the punta cana airport in the East. It handles nearly 3 million passengers per year, while punta cana now handles over 5 million.
It was built by dictator Trujillo in the mid 50s and is the largest of the three airports Santo Domingo has. Its name changed over the past 60 years about 6 times. The most recent one is... Wait, let me read that to get it right... International Airport of the Americas Doctor José Francisco Peña Gómez.
When you arrive and get out of plane, just follow the flow. While the airport is big by local standard, it only has 2 terminals with 5 ramps. All other planes just park on the tarmac. So regardless if you arrive on a ramp or the tarmac, just follow the flow to passport control and baggage claim. Hopefully you've filled out the tourist card you received on the plane. You will have to pay $10US tourist tax per person, so have that ready. You'll have to pay another $20US upon exiting the country, so keep that in mind. Some tour operators will include that in their fees, but be sure to check ahead.
Once you get through baggage claim you'll get to customs. They usually don't check tourists much, but expect it anyway. After that you've officially arrived. Welcome! Now, the first thing that is going to hit you is the humidity. If you've been in the glorious airport AC all this time and come from a colder country, this might be bit of a shock. Welcome to the Caribbean!
If you came with a tour operator, then their representatives and buses will wait for you at the exit. But even if you are on your own, getting around here is easy. Just grab one of the trains that take you to town or the brand new hovercraft shuttles that transport you to... Oh wait.
None of that.
Yeah, no trains, buses or shuttles. Your only option is to walk or grab a cab. To be specific: walk to the cabs. Its at the moment the only option to get into town, or anywhere for that matter. Average prices have been established by the taxi unions, so haggling probably won't get you far. But at the same time it means that you probably won't be jibbed. Not everyone is out to get you and most are looking for fair prices. Remember that Gasoline around here is about twice as expensive as anywhere else.
