I am reading Vargas Llosa's "The Feast of the Goat" (in English, sorry...). I am just wondering how this was received in the DR. Was it very controversial, considered accurate or fair? It seems somewhat unflattering to me (although I am only a third of the way through it). Any comments?

Ok, did the earth just move, or did a Mack truck drive over my 6th floor roof? I guess the DR is getting me ready for the big move to Japan...

What is the best method for selling a jeepeta in Santo Domingo? We have two weeks and I am stressing out...

Are there any specific rules for bringing pets to the DR? Any quarantines, rules about birds, etc? I am wondering about birds, dogs, cats and reptile-type pets (eg turtles). Thanks!

A family member of ours is arriving at Punta Cana airport on Friday and wants to know how to get to Santo Domingo. Does anybody know if Caribe or Metro run bus connections from that end of the island to the Capital? If not can anyone tell me whan the guagua cannections are? Any other suggestions?
