Moving to Juan Dolio
I am in Toronto and I tell you, when we move this summer I won't miss nothing!!! Best of luck to you.
HAHAHA, I know what you mean, but I'll still miss my friends and probably my car...you know the creature comforts...
Where are you moving to?
What area???
We are coming back down shortly( just not soon enough for me ), and we have a few areas that we are deciding on. Our son will be going to the ISOS so we will have to be in that vicinity. As for missing friends, well hell they can come down to the DR,( all of ours are looking for a free vacation lol), and I could really care less if I did not have a car( unfortunately we will buy one), as I can walk, run, ride a bike or buy a horse and I think I would still not miss Canada lol. Really happy for you. :cheeky:

I've been here only 18 days exactly but I already have some definite answers:
Things I like the most:
1) My new friends
2) The fact that I now live near a real beach (anyone from Toronto knows what I mean). This was part of my dream...
3) Pico Pollo
4) Daily sunshine (so far)
5) The latest Merengue and Bachata
6) Presidente and the 'real' Brugal, not the watered down version you get in Toronto
7) People saying Good Morning and Good Afternoon when the get on the publico or when they pass me in the street.
8) I am more relaxed, less rushed here than I was in Canada
Things I miss:
1) My friends and family back home (but that can happen anywhere I go)
2) Whole grains (I'm by no means a healthy eater, nut, but after eating brown bread for years, I feel strange eating all this white flour)
3) My linens...where does the DR get its towels and sheets from?!?!
4) Sushi. I see that Naito's has a sushi menu in their window, but I haven't ordered any...
5) Someplace to take Spanish lessons. I haven't found anyplace where I can take any formal lessons yet. I'm learning more every day, but I'd like to study properly.
That's it for now. Ask me again in a few months, LOL.

Hi Nikke,
Looks like you are really enjoying yourself! As a fellow Canadian I am glad to hear it! I am thinking seriously about taking a year off and either travelling all over or renting an apartment in the DR for 6-12 months. Maybe a bit of both. That's why I wanted to know how you liked it!
I am coming there in a few weeks and will be having a good look as to whether I want to take the plunge or not! I can't wait to see the sunshine, it is pouring out here!!

I'm glad I came
Lexi,
I'm glad I came. It's something that had always been in the back of my mind for years and finally after some planning I decided just to do it...I'd rather try it out here than spend the rest of my life wondering what it would've been like.
Why not go for it?
