Dude, whatever you're on, I hope you give it up soon. News flash, I'm Dominican. Although far from perfect, my people are warm, welcoming, loud, intense, loving, friendly to a fault perhaps, and on and on. Get a clue!
I read that book when I was 14
I will say something else about the DR. It may sound strange but to me its the unvarnished truth. The DR can be more dangerous than Somalia or Afghanistan for foreigners. It sounds crazy but here is my logic. Foreigners that go to places like Somalia or the "Stan" know what they are getting themselves into. They are usually soldiers or aid workers or spies. They know the risks. Most of the gringos that come to the DR know nothing. They just think since it is the Caribbean it is nothing to worry about. I mean we don't hear about buildings blowing up and civil war here and terrorism...and therein lies the danger. Gringos come here and let their guard down. Few soldiers go to Somalia or Afghanistan and let their guard down and those that do come back home in boxes. Some foreigners that come here to the DR return home in boxes to. There has been about 40 gringos murdered in the DR since 2010.
The unwary foreigener can find him or herself in really dangerous situations here simply because they didn't realize the danger in the first place. That is why I say the DR is can be more dangerous than Somalia. Everyone knows what Somalia is. The risks. The risks of the DR are much less apparent until they manifest themselves. Keep that in mind when you move here.
Utter nonsense.......
Go back to your comfort zone and stop panicking.
Its hard to understand for me. Bruce Lee was on another level. That book is not for people looking for an easy read. It won't be.
Ok..,that's a whole different story....Leonardo Davinci street etc. near Los Cacicazgos. Good neighborhood.Father in law has an apartment building in Herrera but I am not staying there.
I'll be in Mirador Norte. Well from what I understand sector lines were redrawn. So now I'm told its called Renacimiento.
I understand why it's hard for you to understand.
Bruce lee studied life, its movements and how to be in harmony with all.
You study life by reading books or watch movies which you don't understand.
Maybe another approach to life would be good?
If not then get some medication.
The women are overrated. Please stop. Men like you are ruining DR women because they think they are God's gift to mankind. They are not. Dominican women are second rate in bed and terrible conversationists and I've been with enough of them to know
300:Rise of an Empire is easy to understand. Regarding Lee and his philosophy it is hard to be in harmony with life when life is absurd and meaningless. You know everything will die eventually right? You me everyone here on DR1 even this planet and our Sun. The universe to. Why be in harmony with something that will one day not exist anyway?
See it doesn't matter whether I'm in harmony with life or not. The outcome is the same. Even Lee. He was in harmony? And what is the thanks he got? He got cut down in his prime. From what? Aspirin. Ironic you mention me needing to take meds. It was meds that killed him.
Dude, whatever you're on, I hope you give it up soon. News flash, I'm Dominican. Although far from perfect, my people are warm, welcoming, loud, intense, loving, friendly to a fault perhaps, and on and on. Get a clue!
so my only warning would be: interact with people who are on your level, people who are under yours or below you will drag you into theirs!
I wonder for those of you with many gripes about living in the DR, why remain there?
Daaang DS. 1K/hr for an ex pornstar?? Do you hear an echo when you're bushhoggin that used up p***y? Give me mediocre sex any day. I'll bank the 1KI already gave a list months ago so I won't do that again. What I will tell you is that the best benefits of living in the DR are NOT THE PEOPLE. This includes the women. The women, prostitution wise, are cheap in price but so are their services, they are no match for a $1,000 an hour top rated American ex pornstar, in looks or performance. I've been with them so I should know. If you want mind blowing sex save your money and hire top rated American girls. If you want cheap but mediocre sex come to the DR.
The best part about living in the DR is the lifestyle. The weather. The beach. I'm indifferent to Dominicans themselves and sometimes find them annoying. They tend to be backward, incompetent, corrupt, or all the above. There are good Dominicans to but they seem to be underrepresented. The energy costs are also a benefit, last month my power bill was $12, clearly you will never see a $12 power bill in the USA. If you can look past the people the DR is wonderful. If not you won't like it here.
That's a whole 'nother thread - has been done several times already.......
