    Anyone else notice about a 1000% increase in mosquitoes over the last few days? El diablo, the little buggers are everywhere all of a sudden. From no bites for months to dozens.

    Thievery & Security Guards

    It's been quite a month. I had an apartment break-in (in a nice Santo Domingo neighborhood) about three weeks ago and a vehicle stolen yesterday (from a parking lot in an even nicer neighborhood). In BOTH instances Im convinced the "guachiman" or security guard was involved. I had to miss work...

    Leonel's new hip-hop graffitti ads

    I can't get over the spray-painted "b-boy" font of his latest political posters, all over Santo Domingo. Is he angling for the youth vote? From Washington Heights?

    To all the THIEVES who work at SDQ Airport

    I hope that you use your pilfered gains to buy computers, learn English, and read this: You SUCK. I hope your new computers are stolen from your houses and I hope your English is sufficient enough to understand my gleeful laughter when this happens.

    Back from Shakira

    Um, I know there is the ex-Argentinian President's son and all of that, but do you think she would marry me? My father hasn't ordered any assinations (yet)! ;) Personal favorite moment from the concert: seconds after Shakira told the audience how much she loves being in the Dominican...

    Santo Domingo to Paraiso in the SW

    Once we got past Barahona the road became windy and the views became breathless. It is reminiscent of Northern California, with rocky cliffs plunging down into the sea, except here the water is torquoise and shimmering. The drive alone is worth the trip. We stayed in Hotel Paraiso, which was...

    Bookstores, Lack Thereof

    I finally made it to Thesaurus and was a little under-whelmed. New Horizons is next on the agenda. Do you think the reason there is not a single Barnes & Noble type store in a city with a population equivalent to Chicago's is based on market forces? Would such a bookstore fail to make money...
