Live the same

Tourists often get into all sorts of situations - you probably already figured it out. I don't think a day went by without someone from our work sharing a story about what some tourists did. Most often, it's just the usual drunken antics - pretty boring, to be honest. But sometimes there are funny or even dangerous stories.

Once, when I was working on excursions, we had a tourist who didn't listen to the instructions and swam too far from the shore on Macau Beach. Hotels are usually built in safe places - no reefs, no deep water, nothing risky. But Macau is a "wild beach" and there is a rip current. If you swim about 50 meters (it varies in different places), the current will start to carry you out to the ocean, and it will take a lot of effort to get back.

Well, our tourist got into it. Luckily, everything worked out - the guide quickly made arrangements with local fishermen, who went out and pulled him back. But there were many similar stories on this beach, and not all of them ended well.

While the Dominican Republic doesn't have any predators or many snakes, especially venomous ones, there are much more interesting creatures you can encounter, even in the most unexpected places

I came home from work one day and went to take a shower. Everything seemed normal, but when I pulled back the shower curtain... BAM! There was a huge spider sitting on the wall! 😱 I'm not exaggerating - it was bigger than my palm. I decided to let the spider enjoy the shower alone, haha... and went to get a bucket.

What I didn't know is that these spiders can JUMP more than a meter! 🤯 So when I tried to catch it, it ducked right at me! I wasn't really afraid of spiders... until that moment, lol. Somehow I managed to catch it (they're insanely fast!) and let it out.

But that wasn't the only time one of these guys visited me... I caught the same spiders a couple more times, only a little smaller 😅.

These spiders are more afraid of us than we are of them)

your stories have suddenly changed to all sorts of creepy stuff, brrr 😅 😅

It's better than an armed rake. I have not been robbed, but I know such stories.

I wouldn’t want to experience something like that))

It was unexpected, but not exactly stressful)

I can imagine the stress you must have felt when it suddenly jumped at you 😂😂😂

This situation was unexpected, but did not develop into a phobia)

What a story! To meet such a big spider in the soul is a real test. It’s good that you were able to cope with the situation and let him go free. Will you be more careful with shower curtains now? 255 $degen
