I am thinking of going to New York around Xmas time. What internet sites do you guys use for package deals ? Leaving from STI. I just want something nice and clean, nothing fancy for the hotel. How much should I expect to pay ? The other option is to stay with relatives, but i would prefer...

So the challenge is : cheap and easy. Also it has to be so in the dominican republic. Its to easy when you have access to supermarkets back home where all sorts of stuff are cheap. ( like feta, gruyère, etc......). I will also add that it has to be local. And lets make it even harder ( maybe...

The dr1 news has an article talking about a new law ( surprise surprise ) on firearms. The linked article is succint to say the least. Are we supposed to do anything ? Any information is welcome.

I had my car insured for years with them, and more recently the migracion new insurance policy thingy. Well in april or may, my wife went to renew the annual policy for the car and it was all closed down. Phones dont answer....... Just curious as i have a new insurance now.

Was out of the dr for one of the longest stints ever...... 6 months and a bit ( yes, yes, the " and a bit " counts a lot as you near the departure date ;) ;) ). A couple of remarks after 2 days back at home : - I was asked for residencia as I checked in for my 2 stop-over journey that led me...

Anyone applied for renewal online lately ? After "iniciar" my session and choosing the option, instead of normal "requisitos" page, I get a pop up saying " go to your nearest officina " or something or other. Was wondering if it was particular to me, ot if the damn thing just isnt workimg...

Around here motoconchos and carro publicos double their prices on the 23 and 24 of december. Whatever, I can understand that. I went up the road to my sole local colmado for some garlic for my roast. Ended up getting bits and pieces. Now, all my veggies were bought last week from my usal...

Did any of you guys get an email from anhvee (?) Resort I think its that new hotel that was discussed for some time in the sosua thread.

Driving along the main road Imbert-Navarette, just in front of that new MOPC half finished-building, cant remember the name of the nearby village. Oncoming traffic. A fairly new pick-up transporting  brand new tinaco. A huge thing. Why would you tie it down right ? This huge thing somehow flies...

For all you bakers out there. Carrefour in SD has its own brand of flour on promotion. 35 or 36 pesos for a kilo. Its waaaay better than anything else I can find here. Much, much better than the american brand that Lasirena and National carry. And obviously much better than any dr brand, which...

The car alarm fob has died on me. The circuit board is corroded, etc..... has been home-fixed a few times so its in a bad state. Anyway this time its not that it doesnt work, its that it works constantly !!!! Bad connection somewhere. I would like to get a new one, but toyota santiago is a tad...

So I have a bunch of diffrent varieties of avocado trees. My question is on*inerto ones. I kind of understand they are grafted. Supposedly better tasting avocados, more avocados, less time between planting and fruit growing, diffrent seasons, less prone to,disease..... As opposed to...

Arcelor-Mittal Steel, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning against a wall. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant...

Was trying to find the thread on dominicanisisms...........anyway...... I love jalbas (??), ie fresh water crabs. Usally they are cooked in hot water on a fire in an outside kitchen, la fodonga, or something that sounds like that. Thats half the fun. Everyone sits around eatimg the crabs, with...
