A young Cuban woman shared on TikTok her experience living in the Dominican Republic and talked about the aspects of the Caribbean country that she has already incorporated.
With a touch of humor, the user @los_tips_de_la_clau94 described how she has integrated elements of Dominican culture into her daily life, while still maintaining her Cuban roots.
"I am a Cuban living in the Dominican Republic, and of course, I already eat mangú, mofongo, I know how to say 'qué lo es que, esa vaina, dame un chin'," she said in her testimony, where she highlighted that she cannot do without her rice and beans, known in the Dominican Republic as arroz con habichuelas, and mentioned her reluctance to hop on a motorcycle, a common form of transportation in the country."
In her video, the young woman - whose name is Claudia Jauregui Izquierdo - also made reference to the beauty of the Dominican beaches, pointing out that she already knows that the best ones are not necessarily in Punta Cana, a popular tourist destination.
The young woman expressed her gratitude to the Dominican Republic for having opened its doors to her, while also confessing to being proud of her roots.
The video has generated numerous comments from other Cubans and Dominicans residing on the island, who have shared their own experiences and anecdotes: "I am a Cuban living in the Dominican Republic and I want to buy tamales"; "Don't say you won't ride a motorcycle, I had an uncle who used to say that and he had a fit, and the first thing they put him on was a motorcycle."
Other comments include suggestions, good wishes, and messages of support: "I wish you the best, many blessings to you and your family"; "Do you know where they sell tamales? That's a mission impossible. Greetings from another Cuban living in the DR"; "Here in the DR we love everyone as long as they respect us"; "Cubans and Dominicans have a lot of cultural similarities," reads in the reactions, among which there were even offerings from compatriots: "I am a Cuban living in the south of this country and here, if you come to visit, you have a home and a friend. Blessings".
