    Cedula Renewal Punta Cana

    Last August I had my permanent residency renewed. All went great. I neglected to drive to the west side of the city to stand in that hellhole of a JCE building to renew my cedula. I figured it has little value anyway. Well today, I happened to be in the area of the JCE in Veron (Punta Cana)...

    Taking a break from DR1

    I try to tune in a couple times a week as time allows, but I have found over the past few years, this has become a pissing match between a handful of members. Not to say that there isn't some decent information here, but it gets really tiresome and predictable with a handful of members battling...

    Any Paypal Option other than Popular?

    For a bank that seems to get a ton of accolades, I am at the end of my rope with Banco Popular. I have been denied access to my Paypal account for over 3 weeks. All I get are apologies and "manana". Today they said they had fixed it, but in doing so, I cannot access my Popular account online...

    Something going on out over the water San Pedro

    I was tracking local flights and came upon this very strange flight pattern. Flying at 400-600ft and seems to be focused on one point of interest. Anyone down that way know of anything? It appears to be just south of Bahia La Romana. https://www.flightradar24.com/FAD3501/24829dfb

    Gotta Love the "system"

    LOL...so I bought a tv on eBay. A 43 inch Vizio. They were selling off 10 of them at $159us each (display models). A great deal! Under the $200 threshold. All is good and I pay by paypal to the supplier. I take a screen shot (as I always do) of the item as I am buying it. Seems... Aduanas...

    Tropical fish...where to buy?

    Have not had much luck finding decent pet stores other than a few hole in the wall places around Punta Cana and a very expensive one at Bravo in Santo Domingo. Any ideas?

    Dominican math at its finest!

    According to Zoraima Cuello, Deputy Minister of the Presidency and spokeswoman for the 911 National Emergency system, the service receives at least 5,000 calls a day where no one speaks at the other end of the phone. hmmmm...another inflated number! 5000 calls a day? That means they receive...

    Strike Tomorrow Higuey and Macao

    Anyone really know what this disruption is about? I have heard that Playa Macao has been sold and the people there have been given 30 days to get out. I hope this is not the case, as we need at least one frigging beach that is left for people who live here.

    ITBIS on Items shipped in under $200

    I was under the impression that the proposal to tax items shipped to the country...under $200 was scraped due to illegalities in the free trade agreement. Could someone clarify this for me, as I was just charged an addition 18% on items shipped to me. Thanks PuntaCana Mike
