I work in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic. There are only two bookstores of a decent size in that city, about the size of Kingstone in Taiwan, with a coffee shop inside. I often go there to read books, prepare lessons, and correct homework. It was easy to attract attention when I went to work there with a pile of Chinese books. Once, several gentlemen at the next table started chatting with me and asked me curiously about the logic of the Chinese language.
Unexpectedly, they were a group of reporters brazil mobile database from local media, who met there to drink coffee and exchange news information.
So I started going to that cafe more often. Whenever they were chatting, I would join in and hear first-hand local information. They even took me to activities and restaurants that only locals would go to, which broadened my horizons.
