You can't, "Avoid Crime" here in the DR!!!
You don't need to go looking for trouble, Trouble will come looking for YOU!
When I arrived here in 1986, a tourist could walk the streets at 3 am, with dollar bills hanging out of their pockets!
In the last 10 years, crime has increased.
In the last 5 years, crime has gotten out of control due to the DR becoming a base for international drug cartels using it as a base for not only international distribution, but big sales to Dominican users as well.
Just like in "Transylvania", don't go out at night in the DR!!!!!!
