Actually Walmart is probably a good option. They could deliver to one of the shippers in Miami. I still wonder if you'd get UK brands like PG Tips or Branston Pickle though.

Says the American...? I imagine US cuisine if there is such a thing is number 200 on that list, unless you like everything covered in grease. Apologies for going OT but I did already make helpful suggestions to the OP and reach out to them privately so hopefully I have some brownie points to...

Gosh, building a new marina and cruise port right in front of the Hotel Jaragua and, what a coincidence, right in front of the blocks of apartments that the Vicini family is in the middle of building. I was wondering how long it would take for major changes to be proposed along the Malecon...

Every single realtor I have met in DR claims to have sold hundreds of properties, yet they all wear cheap old clothes and rock around in basic cars. The numbers never stack up.

You definitely won't find Marmite and HP Sauce in Jumbo or Nacional. These are very specific British products and there is a tiny British population in DR. The only British stuff you find is like Worcestershire sauce which has a following in the US. Nacional's international offering is...

You will struggle to find British products in DR as there are very few brits. You won't find English tea, but you can find a decent black tea (including decaf) in most supermarkets which equates to PG Tips. I don't think you'll find Marmite or HP Sauce or branston pickle. You also won't...

Yes I understand, but the idea was surely to create connectivity between Haina and Caucedo. And having built the beltway up until the autopista del nordeste you'd think they would continue that same road to connect with Caucedo. Instead the beltway kind of runs out unexpectedly and you...

I never quite understood why they built a beltway, which then stops before it goes all the way round, and then they built another road a few miles south which completes the belt. And the road between the two is a single lane in each direction. Why didn't they just complete the beltway? Or...

Gosh my bill is over RD$ 2000 a month even when the apartment is empty and nobody is living there.

The thread was all about how the US government was suspending some payments to expats. I was just pointing out that the US government is completely aware of where you are living, they have a full database of everyone's travel movements from passports and airlines filing passenger lists. I...

Surely if the fact is that you are actually living abroad and you receive some payments in the US that you are not supposed to receive if you live abroad, at some point they will catch up with you and you will be deep in the donkey-do. There isn't a lot that the US government doesn't know...

Maja Fasting, she is German but has been living here for many many years, 1000% honest. She deals with the embassies and very large companies and mainly expats. Fluent in English. Her business is called Tropical Living DR, google it for details. Or DM me for her whatsapp. I've worked...

I think there is one, when there is a hurricane you get texts on all cellphones

Hi did you check them out and can you remember what they charged?

Lovely attitude, congratulations.

I once saw the screen after the guy had done an iris scan. Just by taking a photo of my eyes, he could see so much information about me it was scary. I have no idea why they make you line up to go through immigration for so long, surely this is just for show.

There is a difference in my mind if you die as a result of your stupidity or not. Never speak ill of the dead. In this case these are basically children who had a dream and had undoubtably been influenced by someone or something they've seen online. They made a stupid decision, yes, but then...

I have made the point several times. If you sell person to person, I've been told that the DGII may not come after you for the capital gains taxes. But they may do and it may take them a couple of years to do so, by which time the penalties will be as much as the taxes. You could say...

BRICS, Brazil Russia India China and South Africa. There isn't a K. And no I don't think DR will, it's far too influenced by the US to do that.

Lots of things don't make sense in Dominican Republic, especially when it comes to taxation. It doesn't make sense that the penalties for non-payment could come to more than the value of the house, but that's how it is.
