I am trying to decide whether i am moving to Santiago or staying in Cabarete.
I have lived in Cab for 3 years since i moved to DR and seems like im getting bored here, cant find what to do and not sure this is a best place for my daughter that is 8 y.o. now to hang around, education and potential friends-boyfriends when she grows up ( i mean all that sanky/puta movement).
On other side being close to the beach and multinational comunity is kinda fun... I really dont know. I like the idea that in Santiago i can get better medical care and education for my child, lower prices, but i have never lived there and dont know if i will or will not be bored there after a year or two after i've been to all places. That city is big and may be it will be harder for me to meet people and make friends... I speak some spanish but it is not enough for nice conversation. My husband is dominican american grown. He has some family members in Santiago but all his friends are in Cab since he lived there for the last 9 years. I dont have nobody in Santiago that i know while most of my russian friends are living here in sosua-cabarete. Really hard to make a choice. Of course i can always drive to Cab once in a while to meet them all and go to the beach but it wont be often.
I want to start building a house in near future so its kinda important now to decide where it will be located.
May be you were in same dilemma, so share your thoughts? I have about a year for thinking.
Some of you may say - go to santiago and rent there for a while and see how you like it, but we have soooo much stuff and pets to move along, it scares me lol If i move i want to stay without moving for next many years. I hate moving, packing and unpacking.
Of course if we decide to move we will be renting before starting to build, but still i need to hear from you if you ever regreted or wished you stood on the shore instead of getting stuck in big Santiago.
Appreciate all input!
