Enforce is a hollow word in the DR. Regards, PJT

It may be expected there will be a media advertising explosion aimed at getting the US traveling public focused on the benefits of US domestic tourism. Its agenda will be to spend US dollars in the US. It will be done to make up for the loss of revenues because of large numbers of foreign...

This whole affair, the cleansing of Mata Mosquito aka Monte Verde aka Friusa is the fallout of about thirty-five + years of unrestrained growth and development of the Punta Cana tourist zone. Developers needed laborers. Haitians with or without documents were desired because they worked long...

In the past it may have been reasonable to surmise the more distant a location is from the capital placed it at a disadvantage of receiving any government support, a sort of "out of sight out of mind" mentality. Were the border areas shorted on education investment because of the surmised...

One of the issues that should be addressed is road SIGNAGE. It is so darn confusing to drive in Santo Domingo with the signage it presents. Especially, av 27 in any direction when one is looking for a particular cross street to turn onto. The disorientation is blindly traveling via the...

Wondering... how many gov't people of all sectors and levels who were not on the job visited the extremely popular club for their own entertainment, enjoyment? These people would have observed the risks of its environment and yet did not see evil, hear evil, of speak evil of this site...

Welcome! A Canadian, are you setting up in Punta Canada, a.k.a. El Cortecito? Regards, PJT

It is one of those cost vs benefit formulas. How much life for lead acid vs that of the LiPo. If supposedly you get more years out of the LiPo, they may be worth the expenditure. There are variables such as amount use of the batteries; such as to how many cycles of charge/discharge, hours in...

If a shipment is ordered and documented from China to a DR address having an in-transit plane change at Miami it is not US taxable. If a shipment from China is documented to a US addressed forwarding courier, i.e., EPS, MBE, and ect., then it is US taxable, Regards, PJT

Edit: "This outside view does show" change to "This outside view does not show"

Do not have to be an engineer to consider the strength of the roof was questionable. Observation (via Google Earth) shows all of the exterior apparatus it was supporting. This outside view does show all the massive interior gear affixed to it. Videos of the interior do provide some indication...

What the government says it is going to do vs what actions it actually does usually are at opposite ends of the same pole. It is a given, there is a lot of media attention now and gov't has to play its part to fill their bulletins. Meanwhile, it can be assumed the large and influential...

They said, "General Cruz Méndez will be responsible for strengthening road safety and traffic regulation in the country". His being responsible is his obligation. Be that as it may, fulfilling that obligation as an arm of the government has the likelihood of the survival of a snowball in hell...

Suggest the extremists (fanatics of both sides) rather remain anonymous. They are not about to publish a names list. If there were no fanatics there would be no reason for the police, military, security cameras, and etc. to secure Friusa. The authorities are not there just for crowd management...

Same here, been going into Friusa including Mata Mosquitos over 30 years during the day It never has been a problem. The worry is the "extremists". Just need one to throw the first rock. Regards, PJT

This asks the question are some drivers doping to get them through the stress and long hours on the roads? The government has to put an honest effort crack down on drugs and traffic chaos. Past history indicates it won't happen. Regards, PJT

The Consulate is suspending passport and notary services, not closing. However, this action may be a signal the Department of State is downsizing operations resulting from budget cutbacks. Regards, PJT

The periodico Hoy released the story on Sunday the 23rd.,"6 haitianos detenidos tras enfrentamiento en Uvero Alto que dejó un muerto". The cause was for "la falta de pago en la obra". Regards, PJT

The Haitians who protested are victims of a culture that hire illegals, exploits their hard labors, does not pay them for their work. There is nobody standing in their corner. What the hell else can they do to get attention and punish those who mistreat them? Non-violence does not achieve...

"Zilberberg Cabral was suspended". It sort of clouds what really has happened to him. If the "fired" was used there would be no doubt of his situation. The investigation will lead to a police formal review of his actions and subsequent punishment. It is more than likely he will be demoted and...
