| A city of immense wealth and grinding poverty, where men in suits carry cell phones, and those in rags who eke out a living selling bead necklaces or lottery tickets are equally common sights.

holds two astounding Carnivals a year. It has a Merengue Festical

with the cock fight arenas and the baseball stadiums, and it's scene is
as rich as any in the Carribbean.
