Hello,
As a newbie to this blog, I wanted to get as much information as possible on FOREIGN women in business in DR or FOREIGN working women in DR. I have had the chance to stay in DR (Puerto Plata) for over 2.5 months and have had a taste of the position of women in a family, but little experience about women in business/working women.
I am curious about women in business and FOREIGN women in business.
Are they considered differently? Are foreign women more respected, or less respected? I have had various situations where, as a gringa, I get what would be considered in Canada, sexual harassment. (whistling, "Hola Mami..", bonita...y ya y ya...)
Would a foreing women business owner get respected by employees, suppliers, men in general, ...and if she does speak spanish but not fully... ?
I have so many questions, ...please peak my interest with your comments, stories, knowledge...thank you so much!
I am also wanting to learn about the banking in DR (i hear their interest rates on savings deposit are more interesting)...I have so many more questions...
