I am living now in New York City (The Bronx) and I will be going to DR around Feb 2010. I will only have a steady income of US$900 per month. Can I make it there? I already live in a fairly rough neighborhood here so some crime is not an issue! Also I do most of my cooking at home since I keep kosher. When kosher meat is not available I regress to a vegetarian diet and that is not a problem for me. I have seen a few apartments for 300US but I really am not familiar with the neighborhoods. Really I want to be immersed in the "real" Dominican culture. I am already fluent in Spanish. But anyway I just want to see if anyone thinks I could live alright??? What would be the pros/cons?? Thanks so much in advance.... Chad.....
