School Cafeteria Food in the Dominican Republic

My New Favorite Drink
The Cafeteria here is amazing!😆 The food is delicious and there is a variety of things you can order. It is a mini restaurant.  The menu posted on the wall does not encompass the variety of food that they prepare.  It is also made to order so it is fresh🍎 and made from scratch. They do have the typical lunch items such as hamburgers, hot dogs🌭 and pizza. But they also have tacos, Cesar salads, quesadillas, Cuban sandwich,empanadas, and Quipe. They also have the Dominican classics: fried cheese🧀, mash plantains, fried plantains, and salami.

Bandera Dominicana

 After 12 noon they have chicken, rice, beans,and salad. This traditional meal is otherwise known as  "La Bandera"⚑ (the flag).

   Although the food is delicious😋, it is a bit pricey💰. My favorite drink, Aloe is 80 pesos which is $1.75. To American standards that doesn't seem like a lot, right? On the other hand, a bottle of coca cola is $.75 cents. The healthy🌴 options are always more expensive, aren't they?

Another wonderful thing is that you can get food on credit💳.  If you buy something you can put it on your account. So you don't have to have the cash💸 on you every time you buy something. Just beware🙅 the money racks up quickly🏔! 
Sports Field
Students have accounts as well. So the parents don't have to worry about their children losing their lunch money especially the little ones.🚼 Many students bring their lunch in from home as well🏡. The cafeteria employees, kindly warm🔥 up their food. The school also provides bottled water for the students. It can get really hot🌞 especially during P.E. Hydration! Hydration! Hydration!🚰

Wendy's in the Dominican Republic - Frosty anyone?

Image
***The peso as of today is at $47 to $1 dollar. All prices listed are in pesos💸.  My kids and I were so excited to see that there was a Wendy's near our apartment🏘.  Of course we enjoy going to Wendy's in the States so we were expecting the same experience we had back home. We all know that Wendy's is a franchise but even a franchise makes some cultural🌏 adjustments to its menu. Let's discuss the positives first, shall we? 1. Customer Service 2. Decor 3. Price 4. Similar Menu Combos 1. The customer service was excellent🛃.  Everyone was patient with the kiddos and I, as we were trying to figure out what exactly we wanted.  Decor 2. The Halloween theme was perfect.  The entire store was decorated and even some of the employees were dressed up👻. It  made the kids feel right at home.  3. The price was pretty much the same as in the States. I ate an Asiago Chicken sandwich meal🐔 (large) and I spent about $8 dollars. ...

School Supplies in the Dominican Republic! (Part 1)

Image
Teaching at a small private school, I wish someone would have told me the things I would need before I arrived in country. As a result, I am writing this in hopes to help all of you.🏫 1. Lab top  Most of the schools here do not provide a teacher computer in the classrooms (laptop or classroom desktop).  They do provide however the connection cords to use the projector with your lab top. There are very few schools with Smart boards. At my school only the lower grades have Promethean boards.💻 Most schools do have a teacher's lounge which provides desktop computers for you to plan. 2. School supplies🖍 ✏: dry erase makers, chalk, eraser, industry size sharpener, pencils, markers, crayons, supplemental materials/books (you can scan into a pdf), wall clock Teaching at a private school the students are required to supply all of their materials but of course there are always a few that do not have them.  It is much cheaper to go to the dollar store, $5 Below or...
