Can anyone advise me how a Dominicana (yes, a lady) might find work on a cruise ship? The lady currently lives in the Dominican Republic. I'm advised (though I've no idea if it's true) that Cruise Ship employers would be able to assist her get the necessary work visa(s) and she would obviously...

Hi. I'm trying to locate 1 (or more) film location agent (the people who find locations that suit where film companies shoot part or all of a film) here in the Dominican Republic. I'm primarily interested in those that scout for international (rather than just local) film makers. I've tried...

Hi (yet again). Not sure if this is the best place for this post but, as the forum is "Best in DR", I?ll assume it?ll be OK. As I?ve said several times, I?m completing a toiurist-standard bar in the mountains above Constanza. It?s already a landmark building and almost every "tourist (locals...

Hi. At risk of boring you, I?m still opening a new tourist bar (near Constanza). In addition to my other posted needs, I hope someone can tell me which is the CHEAPEST and BEST supplier of drinks for sale in the bar. I assume best locations will be in Santo Domingo. By "Best", I mean that I...

Hi. As before (i.e. previous post looking for bar glasses), I live in Constanza where just about nothing is available! I?m still looking for things so as to open a new tourist bar. Does anyone know where (presumably in Santo Domingo) I can find a maker of coursages. (I assume people know...

Seems that several threads follow this stream so I chose the Legal thread to site this - it seems most appropriate. Well we?ve all read the other submissions that warn about marriage here in the DR or, really, marriage to a Dominicano national (no matter where that person lives). But now I?ve...

Hi. I need to find a shop, probably in Santo Domingo, where I can choose from a GOOD RANGE of glasses suitable for a tourist-standard bar. I need access mainly to glasses suited to serving cocktails but beer and spirit glasses are also needed (in addition to any that Presidente might...

Hi. I thought I'd sent this already but I can't find it - perhaps a result of exhaustion as a result of trying to complete becoming a Domicano!!!! So, at risk of duplication ... Does anyone now where I can buy some empty (new or old) LARGE GLASS bottles? I need something that can hold a...

Hi. Anyone able to answer these expert HiFi questions? I need to set up some music. I'll be playing MP3s (what else?!) via a PC (or laptop). However, I may want to control the volume independently in different rooms. To control volume per room, I know that there's a box that I'd need in...

I can't think why anyone who doesn't live in Constanza would want to drive to or from it at night - the road is too dangerous for those not used to it. However, just in case, here's some news. The recent road improvements have been closely followed by the appearance of a new river that sprang...

Hi. Since I'm in Constanza, I've no great knowledge of Santo Domingo and it's distributed shopping, so hope someone can help. I'm looking for a shop that specialises in hi-fi components. It needs to have competent experts (not just people who sell if you point at what you want) and needs to...

Does anyone know exactly why the Naturalisation process (for foreigners to gain Dominicana nationality) has been halted (for about 2 months now)? Anything that happens up to and including making the RD$5000 tax payment has been frozen - last time I checked this was with the Central Police (who...

If I happen to go to Moca - anyone know anything interesting to do there? Examples would be: Good shops (the dominicana wife would be amused) Childrens things to do (8 year old girl) Tourist attractions like nice place to see (waterfalls, rivers, nice park, etc.) Nice place to eat and/or drink...

Does anyone know a reliable Travel Agent in Santo Domingo. By reliable, I mean that if you ask them something like "I need a flight today", they'll actually start looking at their computer or making phone calls on that same day, ideally before the last plane has taken off :angry: It would also...

Hi. In a while I'll be emigrating to live in Constanza, a permanent relocation :cool: from my United Kingdom home. I'm desperate to find out some information on weather there. I've visited 4 times, for up to 6 weeks on one occassion, but never thought to get the information while there...
