Great... we're doing better than all the loser of Latin America; I expect this already.
When we reach the status of Costa Rica, Chile, Uruguay, and Argentina then and only then will i have cause to celebrate....
We still have a long road to walk, but we're getting there step by step.
The Metro is an investment in education it will ease the traffic and provide a fast efficient way for the students and techers to get to their classes and also get home at a decent hour.
If you live here, you know what it is like on Maximo Gomez from 5:00 PM until 10:00 PM.
Full of public cars unsafe buses and a lot of long unhappy faces.
The forward thinking of this President will lead this country out of the hole it was in before he was elected the first time.
Stay tuned it will only get better..
"DOMINICAN REPUBLIC" or "QUISQUEYA LA BELLA"
May God bless You always "Sacred land"
! for progress in that case! im so happy for that and we should celebrate each time we go a step forward into a bright future! ^^
"The Metro is an investment in education it will ease the traffic and provide a fast efficient way for the students and teachers to get to their classes and also get home at a decent hour."
if the classes are going to be conducted in the subway cars, since there are not enough classrooms , desks or electricity in the few classrooms that exist.
I highly doubt that education videos will be played in the metro. however i do think that, President beer ads, will take up that slot. DR needs less drinking and more thinking
Still the metro is a good idea
You have discovered a new pedagogy; a blending of education and the metro to create "METRUCATION."
Long live METROLANDIA!
Don't know IF You know already, there is another line on the way for the Metro>
Guess 10 years from now how people in Latin America and worldwide will see our capital,
most likely modern, like a exciting city.
Ah, not a perfect country, but we have a perfect president. Intellectually above all 9,000,000 Dominicans.
No one capable of debating him, El Jefe has reincarnated!
Lie-onel Fernandez "Presidente" for life and then some!
