I debated a few days whether to post this. As I rest in my big bed and enjoy the comforts of my trappings while deciding which stock to buy this year...yadda yadda yadda. I learned that Miguel jumped to his death this week. Not a college grad, yet a very bright kid. Born on the wrong side of...

A friend of mine keeps asking me to find out the price of a Dominican Visa/Passport? I think he might be inclined to do some "importing" of the country's prime commodity. Anyone know the price for a Dominican to get a passport and visa? Thanks, TEHAMA

Okay. So may be its not a "Dominican" washing machine. I have a maid, but one of the chores I thoroughly enjoy is using (playing with) my "Lavadora." Unlike my Stateside washer, you get involved in the cleaning process. Call me crazy, but its fun. I actually try to do a load everyday. My...

I'm not sure if its just me, but I wanted to know if anyone else experiences what I am calling ADD (Anti-Dominicano Days). It seems like every week- week and half, I go through this. They really make me sick and I don't want to see or even hear a Dominican. I know it might sound harsh, but I...

This thread has no real purpose other than an opportunity for me vent over an ugly fight with the neighbors. What the fight was about is not important. How it began and what was said to me was most interesting. It became a complete shouting match. In the past few months had never said more...

Hola DR1'er. I advance payments to Verizon without problem as my monthly bill is always the same. No long distance or cell calls made to the line. Only used for local calls and internet. AES is a completely different story. First, after 6 months they have not installed my meter. I paid...

A friend is looking to rent a car to drive to the North Shore. Any car rental suggestions in SDQ?? He is thinking about OZAVI Rent-A-Car, but thought I would check for him to see if that company is recommended. He knows about the SDQ rental places but is not interested in cab fare to airport...

Hello everyone, I need input from Dominicanos everywhere. Sorry, but I dont wish to hear from others. Only those born in the Dominican Republic. This is an honor system (believe me its not that big of deal) I will not say what it is or what its for. I am just interested in any comment...

Does anyone have this "tankless" hot water system? If so, any insight wwould be appreciated. I have a two bedroom, two bath apartment with a seemingly 10 gallon tank and looking to increase my hot water shower time to more than 4 minutes. Thanks, TEHAMA PS- I finally got my DSL in only 2 days...

I am counting down to my big move. Just three more weeks, baring no other surprises. I have researched and explored the finer details of how my life might be living in SDQ. From my new Barberia to the available toliet paper. My Spanish sucks big time so the Haircut was a very big deal for me...

Hello Everyone, I recently returned from SDQ, but this time I check the business box on the US form and the Vacation/Pleasure box when enroute to DR. My real purpose was business/meeting and apartment hunting. Of course vacation was part of the extended stay. I know Uncle Sam will probably...

THANK YOU DR1'er THANK YOU DR1 Board Members: For the past couple of years I have followed various postings on this board. One DR1'er offer the best advice ever..."figure out a way to make your money stateside and live in DR." This took a very long time to figure-out and implement but I happy...
