파견 근무 5년을 마치고 한 달여 전 한국으로 돌아왔다. 내 일기장으로만 기억되는 것이 웬지 아쉬워 내가 애정하는 국가, 도미니카 공화국에서의 추억과 알고 있으면 유용할 정보를 이곳에 조금이나마 나누고자 한다.

한국인에게 매우 멀고도 낯선 곳, 카리브 해의 작은 섬 나라 도미니카 공화국. (이후 편의상 ‘도미니카’ 라고 하겠음. 사실 도미니카는 엄연히 존재하는, 카리브해 지역 영국연방의 또 다른 국가임 ) 도미니카는 콜롬버스가 신대륙을 ‘발견’ 하기 위해 타고 온 산타마리아호가 중남미에 최초로 정박한 곳이기도 하다.
참 흥미로운 것은, 도미니카는 자기들 나라 원주민이 한 세기가 지나기도 전에 전원 멸절이 되도록 한 장본인을 기리는 기념물을 여기저기 세웠다는 것. 기념물 만으로는 아쉬웠는지 그의 도미니카 최초 상륙일을 국가 공휴일 (El día de la Raza, 민족의 날)로 지정해 온 나라가 매년 성실하게 콜롬버스를 기억하고 있다.
👏🏻 How interesting your analysis of the Dominican Republic, DR is a country that still has a lot to develop but is also one of the fastest growing countries in the Caribbean in recent years. I am sure that at some point they will be able to overcome these racial barriers that limit their growth and with the help of countries that have already achieved this development, such as South Korea, which through international agreements have managed to cooperate hard with their social development. So I am sure that sooner rather than later, DR will be a country that will give the world a lot to talk about.
