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

    You prompted an old memory of Japan's contribution to the cause: As for Romeo, the first time I heard him was a few years back in a taxi. I asked the driver what HER name was. He and mi amiga both had a good laugh over it.

    DR will soon get a rapist returned

    Not interested in a political debate - especially since it is not permitted here - but is the story not true? Yes, Breitbart most certainly has a particular editorial slant, but what is the propaganda in this story? At worst, the story is incomplete. Why was he dropped from the ATD program after...

    Dominican Customs seizes millions of cigarettes and lots of ammunition

    I guess writing "and other stuff" on the customs declaration was the tip off.

    Sosúa Beach Renovations

    Interesting read indeed. Lots of exemptions. This one struck me: " The incentives for provisional approval include: Exemption from the requirement to legally establish the company" Any idea what that means?

    Velero Beach Resort

    Only place in D.R. I've ever been where the tap water is potable. Front desk attendants speak very good English and tolerate my middling Spanish. This is a very well run hotel and well located; you won't regret staying here.

    Uber airport charge

    I didn't want mi amiga to drive at night so I took an Uber to STI which I've never done before. The receipt shows a 320 peso "airport surcharge"! If you know STI you know it's a 30 second walk from the street to the terminal. I've walked a lot further for a lot less in my day. Does anyone know...

    Fentanyl online trader extradited to the United States

    No one does life in the U.S., even cop killers. I'd rather see him in a D.R. prison with a pedo rap and let nature take it's course.

    Fentanyl online trader extradited to the United States

    Wouldn't he do harder time in D.R. - and at a much lower cost to me - than in the U.S.? The drug charge will get him time; the pedo charge will (hopefully) get him a funeral.

    Recent: Uber Failure in Sto. Dom.

    Mostly good experiences with dozens of rides, but I've learned to cancel immediately if: - The driver asks where I'm going (look at your phone) - He asks how I'm paying - He tries to make small talk before he arrives. - Doesn't move within 1 minute Also, I use the security code feature. No...
