Culture Shock

We are still on foucusing on our informative speechs in class, so i'm going to talk about culture shock. My friend is doing her speech on culture shock or something to that extent. With that topic, it made me remeber about the time I went to Dominican Republic, DR, for spring break. I was lucky enough to see both sides of DR beacuse I went with a friend who was from there. While we were there we stayed in a fablous resort, so I was able to experince the true tourist side of it all, however; I also got to experince the real ruggedness of the country. Going into the city to see the "real" DR really shocked me. It was very polluted so it made it hard for me to breath, and there were a ton of stray dogs everywhere. I couldnt imagine seeing all these poor little puppies just roaming the streets. That would never happen in America because we actually care about our pets. The amount of pets I saw uncared for were to the extreme. I remeber asking my friends father what they do to the dogs, and him replying "They feed them food filled with posion so they die." I could not believe it! They should have a spay and nueture program over there! It made me very sad. That was my litttle experince of culture shock with dealing with the little dogs. Here is a picture of a dog I tried to save. It was so cute! Along with other pictures of the inner city I visited.
