Making Santioga My New Home In June!

Hi Everyone,

I went through the 1st phase of the immigration process in early November (medical exam, etc.), I will be leaving all behind as soon as my PRC is ready, my awesome lawyer said it will take about 3 months. I DON'T have any desire to live around a bunch of expats ( a few is OK), I love Latin lands and the DR because it feels like home to me when I walk the streets, I'm brown skinned so I tend to blend in well (except for my size) and I just love the friendly nature of the people. I am allowed to take the edge off and feel comfortable in my skin, ahhhh... I have decided that Santiago is a great place to live without being in a tourist location or a heavily expat landing spot. I would simply like to hear some nice things about the City, negative things will be accepted too I suppose( I know that there are no beaches there already). A little info about me... I am a 32 yr old, 6'4" 250lb, I make my living online by building websites. Anyway, what do you all think of Santiago as a place to settle down with my dog and relax?

No plans on that brother, lol. All I need is one and I'm in no rush... Looking to absolutely relax and love life away from the anal retentiveness, hussle and bussle, and rat race tom foolery that I currently observe and roll my eyes at, LOL... Can't wait. Almost moved to Brazil but there is just something about the DR, plus I think learning Spanish is more valuable in todays world. I'd like to know what kind of apartment $300 a month could possibly get me?
