    Wayback Burgers is now open!

    Try 'Rolling Steaks and Burgers'. I usually eat there when I am in Agora mall. They have one in Galeria 360 and several others around town. I think these are the best burgers you can get in a mall

    Bank account beneficiary

    I set up a power of attorney for my bank account in my wife's name. The bank can prepare that very quickly, just need the persons cedula to set it up. I am not sure if it can be done with a passport but I don't see any reason why not (in case your beneficiary is a foreigner without a cedula).

    Sebelén Review

    Have been there several times with my kids. It is a great set up and very professional. Also one thing I liked is the safety of the go-carts. As they are all electric they can be controlled by the operators and they have a kill switch that automatically stops all the carts if an accident...

    Chinese automobiles in DR - Run away or good alternative?

    Yup, but then again many car manufacturers build cars, or parts for cars in China such as BMW, Ford, Mazda, Honda, Mitsubishi, GM, Tesla, Renault, Nissan, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Toyota. Granted, they probably build to a higher standard expected by these brands than some of the Chinese brands, but...

    Chinese automobiles in DR - Run away or good alternative?

    In my post I mentioned the model, an MG One and I bought it at British Motors in Santo Domingo. The list price was U$35,995 but I paid U$32,000 for it.

    Chinese automobiles in DR - Run away or good alternative?

    The infotainment system in my MG One is flawless. The screen is 39 inches long and goes all the way across the dashboard. It works perfectly with both Android and ios systems. The system works via Bluetooth but if you want the full carplay experience then it is best to get a dongle like I did...

    Chinese automobiles in DR - Run away or good alternative?

    In March last year I bought a brand new MG One. It is a beautiful car and has so much technology. I runs so smooth and I am so happy with it. I have had zero problems with it since I purchased it. The car comes with a 6 year warranty and even though I bought it in Santo Domingo (British Motors)...

    Edesur replaces and repairs over 31,000 street lamps

    I think that Edenorte sold off half of their lamps on the north coast to Edensur because they sure as shit don't have many here on the NC, and most of those that are here don't work!

    Did the Digesett director wash his hands re the motorcyclist epidemic?

    Totally agree, but there is no reason why the DR cannot be like Colombia or other similar countries. It is all about setting the bar high and having an administration that are actually invested in making a change

    Did the Digesett director wash his hands re the motorcyclist epidemic?

    Exactly, they should take a lesson from countries like Colombia. I have been to Medellin twice in the last six months and the way motorbike riders there are like what you would expect to find in north America or Europe. All riders wear helmets including passengers. All bikes are in pristine...

    New: Taco Bell

    I wouldn't be surprised if KFC come to Puerto Plata soon, but maybe they will go into the new plaza at Jumbo as opposed to where the Taco Bell and Wendy's are. I have not been to Siblings Food Park for some time (just up the road close to the courthouse) but I think that they have been suffering...

    Uber in Puerto Plata Province

    Primarily in Sosua and Cabarete. The taxi drivers in Puerto Plata were the same but once the cruise ships started coming in they were more regulated and the union understood that they could not risk taxi drivers in Puerto Plata over charging as this would have a huge impact on their business...

    Uber in Puerto Plata Province

    I am surprised that nobody picked up on this comment 'I can now officially take an UBER without getting harassed'.....that sentence itself completely describes the taxi drivers here on the north coast. To me they are the lowest form of society with their belief that they can charge what they...

    Puerto Plata - Río San Juan highway expansion

    Widening the highway would be really good but what the north coast needs is a ring road from Puerto Plata to possibly Gaspar Hernandez to relieve the flow of traffic on the existing road.

    Finally Heading Back to DR - Please Give Intell on Latest - Cabarete

    As far as restaurants in Cabarete are concerned my favorite is Le Bistro in the alley way leading to the beach near Pomodoros. I really like Latina Wok on the beach. Mojitos is very good, more so for the drinks than the food and their Mojitos are by far the best in the area. Just like many...
