    Yes, I've seen similar behaviour at various other beaches here.

    Sosúa Beach Renovations

    Not that it has anything to do with Sosua beach renovations, but to continue with what others are saying, I saw Frank in Goddess restaurant in Cabarete a couple of weeks ago. He was with a middle-aged Dominican woman who I assumed was a nurse or something, as he looks pretty frail these days.

    Oh, no!

    I have visited several doctors here and have never had one give me a false diagnosis as far as I know. But then I'm not American or Canadian.

    New: Taco Bell

    You might as well move to the USA. Personally, I didn't move to the DR for it to turn into another US state.

    Couple divorce after wife kisses Romeo Santos onstage at an Aventura gig

    Really? I'm European and never heard of this. I wish I had! Remember that Europe is a large continent with many different countries and cultures. Personally, the woman in the video's actions don't really surprise me. Many people get very excited when they have the chance to be close to...

    Privately funded projects on the North Coast

    That sentence you highlighted in red is hilarious! First, where is "the Dominican"? Second, to say that English is "literally spoken everywhere" in Cabarete is a complete joke. I hope that no potential buyers fall for this. Thanks for posting this.

    Central American troops arrive in Haiti to fight gangs (75 Guatemalans+ 8 Salvadorans)

    Still not enough to make a real difference, in my opinion. 83 more troops won't make much difference.

    New: Taco Bell

    Just what we need. Yet another American food chain. :(

    Highway expansion: A tale of broken promises

    It's hard to disagree with your points, except for point 7, where I would say the new condos and villas are regulated, but the regulators frequently turn a blind eye if given enough encouragement.

    Finally Heading Back to DR - Please Give Intell on Latest - Cabarete

    I'm surprised they have that electricity consumption surcharge on short-term rentals like AirBNBs. It makes it very difficult for the renter unless they just make it up. For long term rentals it makes sense because the landlord gets the bill and passes the amount on to the client. When I was...

    New travel requirements taking effect in 2025 for domestic and international destinations

    As a UK citizen entering the UK, I assume it will make no difference to me, although the article doesn't mention it.

    Progress in the DR

    You are lucky where you live. Where I live there are still the usual power outages and the garbage truck come every few weeks, leaving the rats to party as they wish.

    Feud in Sosua

    Where can we find details of this "hundreds of families affected by the floods are abandoned, just because of differences of interest between the Mayor and officials who believe themselves to be Gods, LIKE THIS HAPPENING NOW."?

    Armed criminals barricade themselves in a residence of foreigners in Sosúa

    The area in question is nowhere near the main part of Sosua that for some reason you want bulldozed, despite the many ordinary Dominicans who live and work there.

    Sosúa Beach Renovations

    That photo must be taken from above the hill that they carved out, isn't it? I think you can see the road up the hill on the left - the road that Chico Bill predicts (probably rightly) is going to disappear one day.

    Marbete-time is almost here!

    You use your passport as presumably it's the number on your matricula if it's your car.

    Marbete-time is almost here!

    Not in October when I got mine and my friend's at La Nacional without even showing our cedulas!

    Marbete-time is almost here!

    I wonder if you got your new marbete at the place on the main road in Sosua? I got mine and a friend's there a month or so back, and was NOT asked for a cedula!
