Racism in Pr by agten
Is it true Puerto Rican people hate Europeans? if yes, why so? if no, perfect :D
Hello, Gentlemen! I'm Puertorican and I can tell you all that there will always be some sort of racism... here in the Island or anywhere else you choose to live. There exists racism amongst some Puertoricans... meaning light skin vs. dark skin... ... Read More

Hi, Planner! I've really enjoyed your 'Day in the life of Planner' post! ;-). It can give readers a real feel of what to expect when you live in DR. True... some people may think that since DR has such beautiful places, that everyone is out hanging ... Read More
Las Terrenas the best place to retire by dylan_10
Las Terrenas is a small village located in the Samana peninsula, one of the most beautiful and lush throughout the Dominican Republic: here are stunning beaches and bang in a sea of many colors, mostly flat because it is the only one in the 'island ...
[And the thing to remember is this, while languages are different, most people are the same everywhere and have the same "types." ] Well said, lcbrownjr! We have the same 'types' everywhere! Heck, I take extra precautions in my country, why would I ... Read More
Where to get a decent road map of the Dominican Republic..? by captsam54
Heck even the ones you get from the Car rental agencies are not correct.. I realize we have a bunch of new highways in the past year.. I have asked a lot of people. but no one really has an answer.. Most are printed by resorts etc. showing only ...
Awww, what a bad timing, Captsam54! Hope the strike issue settles down and that you are able to get gas soon so that you can make your trip pronto! We will be waiting to hear all about it! :D Read More

I will be in Punta Cana looking at apts.. Whats a good bar to go and meet expats on Friday night. Thanks Chuck
Thanks a lot, Captsam54! I really appreciate your feedback on Punta Cana. It seems to be a really beautiful place, but I've read people complaining on the 'real' town... life outside the gated communities. Some have said streets/areas are ... Read More

Hola, Luisasosa! Llevas mucho tiempo viviendo en Punta Cana? Eres Dominicana? He escuchado que Punta Cana es bello, pero tiene problemas de seguridad... Solamente estás a salvo dentro de las facilidades de los hoteles? Vi un lugar que parece muy ... Read More

Hi, Planner! Thanks so much for the price information provided. I calculated the items and they are more or less as here... since things have to be shipped to both DR and PR, items will be more expensive and we won't always have the freshest fruits ... Read More
CONCIDERING MOVING TO SANTO DOMINGO FROM STATES
Hi, CatVo! I was just browsing the blogs and saw yours... It takes a lot of guts to do what you did... Moving to DR without ever visiting the country or speaking the language! Anyway, I was just curious to know how your life has turned out and it ... Read More
So how about books? by JenniferL
Reading on DR1 I've gotten the impression that not only are books very expensive, they're also hard to get your hands on. Is this true? When I was in DR I didn't have time (and really didn't even think about) checking for books. We love to read ...
Hi, JenniferL! I do not live in DR, but live in the island 'next door', Puerto Rico. Same applies as in receiving books by mail, too expensive, the shipping costs are outrageous. However, download the Kindle app into an iPad and it will be your ... Read More

Wow, this back & forward you folks started was tough and more confusing then ever. I do understand everyone's view because everyone is defending their side of the story as you each see it through individual eyes. Please, for someone like me who ... Read More

Thank you, Planner! I had no idea there were middle class neighborhoods! (sorry for the ignorance). Based on this option, sounds like we might be able to have a similar life as we currently have in PR. We are middle class, working people... have ... Read More
