I have been reading this site for many years and have a fairly good knowledge of the D.R..After having spent three winters(6mo. stints) and many months previous over a period back to 1996, my opinion is the country has gone for S**t. After spending six months here starting in October I'm ready to say Adios to the D.R., The prices have been hard although not unmanagable for long stays. Crimes against tourist/expats is out of hand and i do not see any chances of improvement. Just venting , but seriously looking for another location. Feel free to vent or flame as you wish.
I should add that i have seen other islands go the same route as I have been travelling the Caribbean since 1981. Not to many left.
