Bago pa lang lumipas ang tanghali. Tahimik na ang kalye ngayon. Maagang nagsasara ang mga tindahan para sa tanghalian. Puno ng tao ang isang maliit na restawran.
Sa Dominican Republic, ang tanghalian ang pinakamalaking kainan. May kanin, beans, manok, at salad sa plato. Tinatawag ito ng mga tao na la bandera. Ang ibig sabihin nito ay ang bandila.
Mahalaga ang oras, hindi lang ang pagkain. Sa ikatlo ng hapon, wala na ang pagkain. Kumain kapag kumakain ang lahat. Pagkatapos, uminom ng maliit na kape at bumalik sa labas.
That's the story.
