    Mr Know it all about Rd is Angry

    Hilarious as usual (ar least is your mind), but completely ridiculous comment.

    Abinader: Energy advances are key to sustained country development

    Having more renewable electricity is good in my book. But what the country needs is a working rid system, so that large areas are not blacked out every time there is one small problem, or trees need to be cut.

    Mr Know it all about Rd is Angry

    Agreed. A large proportion of this strange video is taken up by property scams that happen in the US. What does that have to do with anything that happens in the DR?

    If you can negotiate that Jumbo roundabout, you should have no problem elsewhere! Just remember that UK roundabout rules do NOT apply here! When I did my test they gave me the equivalent of the UK "Highway Code" when I applied for the licence.

    Skype - It'll go dark as of May 5th; Replacements?

    Does this Magic Jack work to call phones anywhere, including my bank in the UK, for example?

    Driving instructors

    When I got my DR licence, about twelve years ago, it was possible to get one by using a UK licence after Residency. But you had to do it in Santo Domingo and it was pretty complicated. I just took the DR test like a normal driver to save time and trouble. It was a piece of cake, but somebody...

    UK products in the DR?

    El hijo de Mangu likes to make up things about the English to suit his prejudices. He really should visit the country and try one of the many highly rated restaurants now that he has apparently escaped his hated Cabarete.

    UK products in the DR?

    When I first came here, 15 years ago, there was a supermarket in Sosua that sold all those British products, plus a lot of German and other European goods. As the number of flights and visitors from Europe dwindled, the supermarket closed. Now, online is the only option for Brits, unfortunately.

    Cops are looking for the new stickers

    Which Sosua beach are you referring to? I can't think of one I would call "filthy". Anyway, I don't see what Sosua beaches have to do with Marbetes.

    Brit ladies from cruise ship give POP bad review

    I agree that the video was pretty uninteresting. But what's wrong with her voice - you don't like the English accent? Come and talk to me and get really annoyed! :)

    Tsunami Alert for Entire Caribbean after Earthquake

    Sorry - I seem to be disagreeing with you on a couple of matters today. Nothing personal! The map in this article shows the fault line passing just to the north of the DR with the red part being the danger...

    Tsunami Alert for Entire Caribbean after Earthquake

    When they are expecting major flooding, they send out text messages to all.

    watching the Super Bowl from the DR?

    Obviously you know nothing about "soccer" as you call it if you thin k there aren't a lot of rules and strategy. A Canadian friend of mine told me yesterday that for every half hour of match time in American "football" there are just eight and a half minutes of actual play.

    Tsunami Alert for Entire Caribbean after Earthquake

    I'm surprised they didn't send text messages to warn everyone who could be affected, but maybe they didn't want to start an even more dangerous stampede of people fleeing.

    watching the Super Bowl from the DR?

    I'm surprised that nobody else has commented that watching a Super BOWEL isn't much fun!

    US government suspends aid to Haiti, El Salvador sends troops

    What on Earth is that supposed to mean? I see you're back to writing incomprehensible gibberish.

    US government suspends aid to Haiti, El Salvador sends troops

    But at least it's not being spent on what some would describe as genocide in Haiti.

    Flights between Europe and the DR

    That's right and the flight between Punta Cana and Gatwick is the one I am taking. The point I was making was that you can't go from POP to UK direct. And I have checked flights via Canada and Switzerland to UK from POP and reached the conclusion that going to Punta Cana and then flying direct...

    Flights between Europe and the DR

    It's getting more and more difficult to fly between the DR and Europe. I am going to England soon and have decided the best way is to go to Punta Cana all the way from the North Coast, like Josh 2033. When I first came here in about 2008 there were at least four flights a week between POP and...

    New USA 10% Tariff question when using a freight forwarder in Miami for orders from China

    I think your best bet is to ask the company that delivers to the DR.
