    Not driving a Car = Being Poor

    No no no... it's not like that at all.. I just joined this forum and really want to get to know this country as well as talk with other English speaking members about it. I don't have any hidden or negative agendas. But I think there has to be a baseline level of respect on this forum...

    Not driving a Car = Being Poor

    What's up with this though... By what you're describing it seems the courts are anti foreigners/anti people with money. If the DR wants to attract people with more resources, more capability to improve the country this is not the right way to go about it TBH...

    Not driving a Car = Being Poor

    Should probably make it a rule to meet a girl in cabañas until you are serious about her. Then only when/if you are serious about her only then take her to your house. Burglary/Robbery statistics in DR are off the charts. Too many stories of women poisoning you in your own house as well. Stay...

    What is the deal with WALKING ! In Santo Domingo streets Alone

    I just got here but I made the mistake of walking a few times (very short distances) and every time I did it people looked at me like I was crazy. For what it's worth though, I think they're right. 1) My dad just recently showed me a video of this motorcycle going like 35 mph, sees I think it...

    How to stay safe in DR?

    Been practicing in in two of my dad's cars. He has a flashy but not supercar level car, and a regular car. We get a lot of attention on the flashy one and have to avoid crowded traffic - there's always people trying to clean your windshield or do some weird things with your wipers or whatever.

    How to stay safe in DR?

    Hi all, First of... I'd like to say I really enjoy this forum. It's nice to be able to have a place to ask questions about the island. I am a American born Dominican who speaks pretty fluent Spanish with a terrible American accent. I am currently in the process of moving to the island, not sure...

    Few questions on DR Dating Scene & 3 Date Rule.

    @jd426 @CristoRey Haha but is this really the case for nearly everyone in the country? Say you're a regular 19, 20, 21 year old with a regular job, regular looks etc... if you ask out the 19 year old hottie and she says yes, you mean you're almost guaranteed to bang her at the end of first date...

    Few questions on DR Dating Scene & 3 Date Rule.

    Hey all. I'm a American born Dominican who speaks pretty fluent Spanish with a terrible American accent. I'm currently in the DR and I'm trying to get a grasp of how things work here more in depth. How are women in the DR different then women from the U.S? Is there a difference between women...
