My wife and i have been planning a move to DR, and i must say that after reading a few threads on here i'm getting pretty scared. Is it really that bad for expats to live there? My wife and i will be buying a small business, and by no means are we expecting to get rich, we just want a quieter slower lifestyle. Most of the things iv'e heard are really not good, iv'e read that we are just not treated well by locals, the police, government, and businesses.
We are young outgoing people, and by no means want to take advantage of anything! We just want to enjoy the culture, and be treated fairly.
Is this not attainable in DR? Should we just look elsewhere? Are people blowing it out of proportion?
Any experiences, or insights would be appreciated.
