Some random thoughts on my latest visit to the Dominican Republic. These are particular to me, so YMMV.  This trip was primarily to visit family and friends during Semana Santa, March 23 to April 2. Whoever is paying US$40 to the taxis at the SDQ airport needs to be taken out and shot. I...

Before the changeover to this new setup I was able to get an RSS feed of all the new posts. Is there a way of getting that again with the new setup?

I heard that Budget might have some Jeeps for rent. Does anyone know if this is still the case or if there is another company that rents Jeeps in Santo Domingo?

A previous thread mentioned that a tannery was closed down due to pollution. I was wondering if there were other means of doing this in the DR which might have business potential. How about this: organicleather.com - About Us

Here is something interesting that could help out in the DR. Hope it comes into market soon. The question I would like to know is the longevity of the fridge. Couldn't find anything on that point. SolarChill: About SolarChill

Just thought I would post a link to a short 2 minute video I made by my fathers place in Azua. This video just gives a brief look at how the charcoal making process starts. It's a lot of work, for relatively little gain, and destroys the countryside. Sorry I didn't have the time to document the...
