Irenelandia

A mocking nickname for the Chacao district in Caracas, characterizing it as an elitist, polished bubble. The name refers to its former mayor and Miss Universe, Irene Saez (Saez is famous for transforming the area into an exceptionally clean and orderly zone during the 1990s, making it feel distinct from the rest of the city).

"All the bougie people live in Irenelandia" and "Those folks never leave Irenelandia, they stay holed up there."

Carretera de Friusa

A road connecting Macao in the Altagracia province to several major resorts like Bavaro and Riu, infamous for being riddled with potholes. It is in terrible condition because the authorities in Higuey pocket all the funds and do not leave a cent to fix the damn holes. (Higuey is the administrative capital of the province where these tourist zones are located).

Very beautiful beaches, but the roads are trash.
