Alors, bon voyage theoretically writing. There may be some nice areas left in Haiti, but it hardly is a safe or comfortable travel destination. Even when accompanied by Haitians, who could do nothing against the armed criminals roaming the country. But surely you are aware of water shortage...

Weren't you recommending Haiti as a nice destination for travel?

How about a person using their brain for self control and self motivation. A possible way to control many addictions. It's about a way of life, health, to live a better and longer life. For some this is motivation enough. Yet many opt to pop a pill, inject, take drugs, anything which does not...

Tonchi, Everyone can have bad luck. However when someone is having the sequences of bad luck you detail, maybe it is you making wrong choices. The DR is not working out for you. You have an 8 year old mattress you want to ship to Miami and then to Medellin. Yes, infrastructure is much better in...

Yet they are not "real" VA clinics. If it is as you say it seems akin to fraud costing taxpayers and .gov a lot of money. Taking away from veterans who have served and need and deserve help. Up to .gov to put a stop to it and limit how foreign services are administered. The way to stop it is...

Perhaps!

Lucifer, "the devil advocate" Post #16 "Oh! I get it now. I'm slow, as evidenced by my dumb answer. We all know these are not VA clinics. But thanks for not charging me rent. The Flying Spaghetti Monster knows that I need all the breaks I can get." So what is it?? A VA clinic or not...

I've had competent help with Guzman Ariza, who also have lawyers specializing in real estate.

The joy of DR real estate and increased renter protection. One may view this as negative, but it is DR reality. As is dealing with lawyers and courts, with uncertain results. All problems which I never had to deal with in EU and N.America. https://drlawyer.com/

You are correct. It is a lack of education, consideration and enforcement. And maybe people do act better in a nice environment. It all begins at home with educated parents and good manners being taught. The decline of good manners can be seen in many places, other than the DR. Of course...

As we are interested in history and Trujillo, It is worth remembering the period in the DR. On 24 April 1965, young military officers rose in revolt in the Dominican Republic. Four days later US troops invaded the country. It was the first US military intervention in Latin America in more than...

Sky is into tourism and promoting dreams. Yeah, not bad for a one or two week AI winter escape in PC. I'm three months on the N. Coast now I have a house and a car. Yes there are things to do, for individual independent people with transportation. Yet many stay in Playa Dorada AI's, Sosua...

Not surprising. Cabarete has a clogged main street no parking. Walk off the beach and main street into the barrios and the dilapidation is apparent. Even the fish shacks on La Bocca are gone. Not much different in Sosua, broken side walks, clogged traffic, dilapidated neighbourhoods...

I've been there. As well as to many beaches from Las Terrenas to past Puerto Plata. Many beaches that the average N.Coast tourist does not go to. Many stay put or may have limited excursions. As you are in the travel industry you know, That mass tourism AI, likes expansive white sand beaches...

Simple, The demographics of the N.Coast are low middle class to low class. Guys looking for girls. Low income looking for bargains. The N.Coast beaches will never equal the beaches of P.C. - Uvero Alto. Plenty of AI's to choose from. The 5* are good enough. Those looking for real luxury or...

Are you going? Let us know how it was!

Banks are securing access to accounts for a reason.

Sounds great, A much needed clean up as some only can be dealt with with a hard hand. Yet the definition of ladrones can also be extended to systemic opponents, who disappear in the night enemies of the state. The despot decides who that is and sends the hit squads. Yet too much liberalism and...

You seem to acknowledge Trujillo's demonizing aspect. Between the lines you seem to admire other aspects of his rule. A feeble attempt to portray the "good" aspects of evil. Many despots around the world have built grand architecture with the peoples money, To further show and enhance their...
