When you feel the need, it's too late to get one.

Do you own a gun? I do. So you are just reposting something from the news without knowing is it really in effect now or not yet. First of all, La iniciativa deberá agotar una aprobación más en el Senado para luego pasar a la Cámara de Diputados. And even then, the changes will not be in effect...

Not yet.

Because Government needs to show that they are taking some steps to improve gun control. They won't apply more requirements to Dominican citizens, people will complain too much, they already relaxed some requirements they initially applied a few years ago (like they don't want that declaracion...

If you are not a Dominican citizen, you can be here 20 or 30 years with that residency and cedula you have, you are still a foreigner in terms of the law. And yes, I am a naturalized citizen with a Dominican passport so I know what I am talking about. You never know what they decide to ask from...

Well when they start to ask foreigners for those papers from their home country for every renewal of the license (and they will start it at some point), let's see what you say then.

If you are here for 20 years and still don't have Dominican citizenship, then probably you were too lazy to get it so enjoy all additional paperwork that you could avoid if you were a citizen.

Well, as we all know, normal Dominican behavior is never flush the toilet after using it. So tell me what is normal Haitian behavior? As far as I know, they use plastic grocery bags to take a shite and then throw them on the roofs, on the trees, etc.

They do. Some years ago in some barrio in Santiago Dominicans forced all Haitians who lived in that barrio to leave because of that bags of shite problem. If I remember it correctly, they reached the boiling point after they found out that the roof of a local school was all covered in those bags.

I live in Santo Domingo, but I go to Bavaro once in a while to stay in resorts for a few days. Sometimes I rent something in Cap Cana too to stay there, sometimes for a week, sometimes for a month. So one way or another, I visit the Punta Cana / Bavaro area for many years. And to tell you the...

If there's a lot of construction works in the area, then there's a lot of Haitians in the same area. At some point construction works are finished, but Haitians continue to stay. Bavaro is not an exception. Cap Cana is a different story, since it's private, so Haitian workers are delivered by...

ProConsumidor works good when you buy a faulty appliance from Plaza Lama or any other store and they doesn't want to change or fix it, or if you paid some company for installation of something and they messed it up or never showed up at all... although you need to wait 15 business days for the...

It's in your contract, read the fine print. Probably it says that the company is not responsible for any damage, loss, or whatever else resulting from whatever happened and you are using their service at your own risk, and by signing the contract you agree with it.

You live in DR long enough to know the answer to this question.

Everything is possible here. All I know is that those kitchen cabinets and doors were installed by constructora and they were advertised as roble, and in a few years after the torre was built and all apartments were sold, almost all owners had to replace kitchen furniture and some doors, because...

Well, I have lived in a modern tower where these fancy new 'roble' kitchen cabinets and some 'roble' doors were destroyed by termites from penthouse to underground parking. Maybe it was a wrong kind of 'roble', who knows.

Honestly, I never liked that old caoba color and when they started to use 'roble' in all new buildings about 10 years ago, I said wow finally doors and kitchens of a good modern color are available in DR now! But after I saw how termites destroy those new and fancy 'roble' kitchens, I changed my...

Some cheap old 'caoba' kitchen cabinets here have only doors made of solid caoba, and everything else is just stained plywood. And termites love that plywood, once they get there in between the layers, you can't really kill them, you will probably kill all neighbors and yourself with poison but...

I actually have never seen termites problem in cheap old apartments or houses here in DR, because everything was made of caoba and if I understand correctly, that kind of wood is not something that termites can eat. But I witnessed termites problems in luxury tower in Santo Domingo and luxury...

Fighting termites can be a real pain in the ass, I have lived in a building where they totally destroyed the kitchen furniture in my apartment, the whole building was infected, some neighbors replaced entire kitchen furniture to the new one made of treated wood or MDF, but I decided to move out...
