I have been going to Friusa for almost 15 years...4 to 5 days a week. Always in the daytime. I have yet to have an issue. No doubt, there are some bad hombres, but that can be said of many locations in the country and not specifically Haitian. Sad to think of how ugly this might get due to some...

How about pavement that is not like a motocross track. Lights that don't turn green all at the same time. Roads that are not under a foot of water after a 15 minute shower. More than 3 roads to allow movement for more than 150,000 residents, excluding tourists. PC is supposed to be the "model"...

Rumour has it that about 70% of SDC is actually Indonesian bean. This why they introduced their premium level "regional" brands. They got caught.

A half pound bag of SDC was seen at Plaza Lama in Santo Domingo at $200rd last weekend. At Nacional in PC it has increased from $138rd to $180rd overnight.

While the country improves, the goose that lays the golden eggs has been all but forgotten. Punta Cana is the whore that pays the pimp 100% of the money and gets nothing back.

I have flown 3 times since August. Along with that, I have arranged 4 family flights. Every one of them, I have been able to check in online and print boarding passes...no problem. With Air Transat, Westjet, Copa, Flair and Arajet, the online check-in was a breeze. In the past, I could not do that.

Same rules for Americans and Canadians without a residency as well...correct?

I have yet to have an issue with Paso Rapido.

They can start with places like Jumbo. Yesterday I bought a chocolate bar and a pack of gum. The guy tried to put these pocket sized items in a big red bag. When I told him...no, he looked at me like I must be crazy. Just having returned from Canada, you want a bag...you pay. Want a tray for...

Maybe the chicken is the same size, but now they only put a 1/4 inch of batter on before cooking instead of the 3/4 inch of the past? I never was big on greasy battered chicken, since I was a kid.

No sure, but had some chicken earlier this week that had me dancing to the bathroom in a hurry. Threw the rest out.

Based on my personal experience of getting a Dominican licence, the process was so simple that the average 12 year old should pass. That being said, the 3 others who entered the written test (multiple choice illustrations on a screen) failed and had to reschedule a new test. I got one wrong...do...

The pharmacy at Centro Medico Punta Cana...Carol in Downtown Punta Cana and San Juan Shopping. Pharmacana in Punta Cana Galarias.

The same argument was likely made about gasoline cars back in the early 1900's by those who figured that the horse and buggy was the best way forward.
