Hi everybody,
I moved to Santo Domingo 3 months ago. Living in Naco now.
Me and my boyfriend have one car. He uses it to go to work. And for me, to go to language school from 4pm - 6pm (every Mon to Friday) I have a private taxi. I pay him 400 pesos to bring me to school and pick me up. But it's soooo stressful I often have to wait for him to pick me up (sometimes more than 1 hour).
I would like to have a scooter to go to school by myself. That will be great for me Bcoz it's not far at all from where I'm living to school and i love ride motorbike. But all the coworkers of my boyfriend said that's not safe to ride motorbike here.
My question is: is that really dangerous to ride motorbike here? I only ride it daytime to go to school and it's not long ride (only about 10mins). My boyfriend always thinks that I can get rob.
Another question: Anyone knows if I can rent a nice scooter here in Santo Domingo? How much it should be? Or if I want to buy where can I buy it?
Thanks in advance for all the information.
