El Huacal

The Juan Pablo Duarte government building in Santo Domingo. It is nicknamed El Huacal because its grid-like architecture resembles a plastic soda crate. The name is also a pun, implying the building is full of 'botellas' (bottles), which is Dominican slang for government employees who collect a salary without actually working.

I went to handle some license paperwork at El Huacal and ended up having to pay a 500-peso bribe.
