A young female friend of mine (19) is believed to be hospitalized in a Santo Domingo hospital. Her name is Rosa Maria Sena-Velez. From what I understand at this time she was abducted from her home in La Romana on or about Jan. 13th. by 3 men in an automobile. She was taken to SD where she...

For some reason some of you think that I am a sexual tourist only. Well I just returned from the DR and I am not going to say if I had sex or not. What I did have was a lot of fun with Dominican friends old and new. I met 4 exceptional young women and made friends with a male Dominican lawyer...

Ok, I have to admit that I spend most of my time in the DR with females one third my age, so I really have learned little about the real culture of the Dominican Republic. Basically I want to inquire about changes in social behavior and how it has affected the DR as a nation. I have spoken to...

Somewhere I have read that all of the beaches in the DR are public, yet many of the hotel beaches have guards posted and do not allow non-guests to use a portion of the beach even if it is directly adjacent to a known public area. My question is what happens if you challenge the guards and...

If there was a Dominican Forbes 400 list of the wealthiest Dominicans, who would they be, what is their net worth, and what business are they in. Chuckuindy

You could have joined AARP 10 years ago but you didn?t. You could have been my girlfriend 45 years ago, but you weren?t. We could have spent time together in the DR, but we haven?t. Since you have missed so many golden opportunities I did not want to miss this one. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Anna C...

On my recent trip to the DR I found an interesting place to stay, especially in the off season. It is the Coop Marena Beach Resort in Juan Dolio. MommC had suggested that I stay at the Romeo & Juliet but their A/C was broken so I asked Francesca, who runs the R&J to suggest a place. She...

I keep reading posts in this forum referring to some Dominican women as, Cueros, Chopas, Puntas, hoes, and so on. How is it we have so many different labels for these women? Normally, these labels only come up if we are discussing poor barrio girls or AI workers. I say it is time to set the...

What is up with DR1 Chat? Anyone ever use it anymore? Hey Larry, how about one of your old posts, "Chat tonight 9pm." Chuckuindy

Within a few days I will have been posting on DR1 for 2 years. The site and its members have been invaluable to me as sources of information and advice. I have made some great friends and hacked a few people off, yet the total experience has been fantastic. FYI, here are some of the members...

It has been at least 3 weeks from the last update. Where is Wud? Is his fingers frozen? Is he sleeping? Maybe he is basking in the sun in the DR. Chuckuindy

Well I am finally back in Indy from 17 in the DR. This was one of my best trips ever, also one of my worst. After arriving in SDQ 2hrs. late, thanks to American Airlines, I rented a car and headed to La Romana. I picked up my friend Fran at around 7:00pm and checked in to the Hotel Olympo...

Well here is the whole story, and some photos. Last night my friend Raphael and I finished dinner around 8:30 local time at the Art Bat in La Romana. I told him that I needed to get some cash and he told me to follow him to his bank which has an ATM machine. I made my withdrawal and was...

Like most travelers I like to have a cell phone that works while I am traveling. For that reason I own 3 different GSM that I use when I travel to the DR. The problem I have is that each time I leave the DR the SIM Card that I purchased (around $400RDP) expires (In about 2 months if unused)...

Within the past 3 months I have quit my real world job and became a day trader in the US stock market. I have to admit that this is not an occupation for the faint at heart. I have good days and bad days, but for now I am ahead of the game. Like any other occupation I look at it as a job. I...

I should know the answer to this but I don't. Is it customary to give presents on Christmas Day or on Three Kings Day? Chuckuindy
