8 million .....take it 

I kinda admire that he doesn’t care about the money......and is sticking two fingers up to the developers

Yes ....and I suppose if he has no family to leave the dosh to .....but 8 million 

 I’d be tempted to take the money but I can be one real stubborn mule when I want to.

We’ve only been to Dom Rep and I found the poverty upsetting and (although we didn’t see any) there is an implied threat of crime.

 I do something I saw the mum do on The Waltons- I say loudly, β€œYou’re welcome” and they invariably look embarrassed and mutter β€œThank you”

We went out during the day but we got hassled with people wanting us to buy tat. TBF, they weren’t threatening, just very persistent and it became annoying.
We didn’t go out of the hotel complex at night and found it off putting that the hotel security all carried guns.
