SD is definitely much more dangerous and busy. I am literally counting the days until I finish my studies so that I can move back to the quiet beachy area. Lots of thefts of cell phones and purses in SD, and also around the bars (Drink Point is a hot spot) in the Bavaro area.
The 50th best thing to do in Punta Cana is
A Hookah Bar:
Alibabar Hookah Lounge (Punta Cana, Dominican Republic): Address, Phone Number, Bar & Club Reviews - TripAdvisor
So I guess they are still legal.
But opening another one? Probably not a great idea.

There are certain people posting here that are spreading a bunch of total crap on this board. NO ONE that comes here on a tourist Visa will EVER be deported for an overstay.
Any of these morons that say different can put their money where their mouth is for a large wager with me.

THANK YOU! I'm sure they want tourists in their country spending money .. i couldn't see how it would be a problem.
Natalie,
First, welcome to DR1!
You've gotten a lot of great advice so far.
Remember, you're young and this is part of an adventure. So, have fun, and just use your common sense.
I'd advise being more diligent than fearful. DR can be a really great experience, especially for three months. Mind your budget, use the same judgment you would anywhere else, and find something positive to do with your spare time (read, write, learn spanish, volunteer at an NGO, etc.)
Book your return ticket before you leave home.
Other than than, relax and have fun. DR ain't perfect, but it's better than being near the Arctic Circle in winter, ya know.
Either way, good luck!:glasses:

i will look into that as well.. Santo Domingo has a lot of jobs but i heard it was a lot more dangerous than PC .. yah im going to look into it13 animals? wow sounds like a busy life lol
If you came here posting that you'll move to a place that you've never been to, people will give you "tough love" too.
So, You've been to Punta Cana, you like it there and you have the money to live there for months, why not stick to that and see how it goes?
Yeah, it changed in 2004 with the "New" Code of Penal Procedure. Most of the police hasn't left "French Law" though.
Yeah, I remember that too.
This piece of news, from 2013, says a bill was passed to ban the use of Hookahs in bars, clubs, and other public places. I'm unaware of what the current situation is. Aprueban el proyecto de ley que proh?be el uso de la Hookah - DiarioLibre.com
I would advise you to get a job and keep busy. Don't spend more than a few minutes a day reading DR1.com, there are so many people on here who are so negative about the country but for some reason will never leave. It really isn't as bad as people on here are saying.
Is that why every group of males aged 15-30 totes a hookah around to the beach and/or to hotels?
We are all wasting our time posting of OUR experiences here, adds up to thousands of years.
She is not seeking advice,she is seeking VALIDATION!!!!!
That's clear because she has a "Reason" about everything of why we are wrong, and she is right!!!
I say, buy the "Orville Reddenbacher", "Nuke It" for 3 and a half minutes,"Pop-A-Top", and get ready for the ride!!!
Although, we all know, very few stick around to say,.."You Were RIGHT", they just get burned, and are never heard from again!!!!
Can't say we didn't at least TRY!!!!
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

I believe that "Hookahs" were made illegal here under DR law!

at least 3 years ago, if memory serves me right. i remember the hookah bar in Sosua going down the drain.
And even fewer come back saying how they paid off their student loans in six months..
I still think their best bet is working in a beach bar in Cabarete where they can get tips and share an off season condo studio for $250-$400/month.
May as well go for the Asereje fantasy..

Frank is traveling. Don't know when he'll be back in the country. He can certainly give them better advice than a couple local kids. Lots of small ex pat start ups there other than beach bars and pizza places.
