Casinos, beer and cigarette smoke
When all banks (where we exchange money: US dollars for Dominican pesos) are closed, the only option is to go to the hotel down the road, and change money in the casino. They're exchange rate is ridiculous, if the dollar is at 33.90 pesos, they will exchange it for 33 pesos...you almost lose a peso. Enough when you are exchanging a couple hundred of dollars. I've never played at this casino, but it's really cool. The poker tables are neatly organized and very clean, and the slot machines will ask for a token instead of a coin. My question is, do they accept Dominican coins or do you actually have to buy a token? Maybe they call the coins tokens? I don't know.
Hmm. I am at the apartment, and I can smell cigarette smoke as if someone was smoking next to me. I would normally be disgusted, yet today (after a jumbo Presidente Light), I don't care.
