    Government invests RD$3 billion to refurbish beaches and organize vendors

    Unfortunately, "organizing the vendors", is government speak for turning them into taxpayers.

    Where to buy antidecubitus mattress?

    There is a chain of surgical supply stores here. Farmaconal. I don't know where they are in the capitol, but you should be able to find what you need.

    That is a very flattering photo of Pueblito, in between Playa Dorada and Costa Dorada. There is a wonderful French restaurant right on the beach there. Petit Francois is the name IIRC.

    Any advice on safe parking in zona colonial??

    Traffic police don't chase or shoot anyone. If you drive here frequently, sooner or later you will come across a proper checkpoint. Traffic cones, riflemen w/M16's, lots of National police presence. Be sure to stop, these guys mean business!

    Any advice on safe parking in zona colonial??

    When the traffic police wave at me from the side of the road, I always wave back. I never stop unless an agent physically gets in the roadway and forces me to stop. Welcome to Paradise!!

    Do supermarkets in DR accept visa gift cards online?

    Use those cards yourself, and send him some cash via Western Union. Only he will be able to collect the funds. Can't go wrong.

    Why can't the Dominican Republic be the solution to the crisis in Haiti?

    Unfortunately, most Haitians in the DR don't qualify as refugees, they have been arriving for years as economic immigrants. Perhaps a few of the most recent arrivals can be classified as refugees, but that is all.
