Es ist kurz nach Mittag. Die Straße ist jetzt ruhig. Die Geschäfte schließen früh für die Mittagspause. Ein kleines Restaurant ist voller Menschen.
In der Dominikanischen Republik ist das Mittagessen die Hauptmahlzeit. Der Teller hat Reis, Bohnen, Hähnchen und Salat. Die Menschen nennen es la bandera. Das bedeutet die Flagge.
Die Zeit ist wichtig, nicht das Essen. Um drei Uhr ist das Essen weg. Iss, wenn alle essen. Dann trink einen kleinen Kaffee und geh wieder nach draußen.
That's the story.
