I have been to many beaches from Monte Cristi to Samaná and there is nothing like Sosúa beach, it is (was) very long with many bars/restaurants options along the water to sit and enjoy, not having to put up with others if wanted quiet and peace, water very calm and no current, safe for swim...

In 10 or even 15 years, Sosúa will not change much maybe we have some more Chinese dollar shops, just to make sure they don't turn those properties into bars and clubs - the reason we have them now...! I'm afraid brakes were put hard on this train 15 or more years ago, by some shortsighted...

In Sosúa only chicas and guys after chicas could possibly effect tourists, nothing else apparently bothers them, nothing at all...!? That's what we are told the last 15 or more years, all resources and efforts have been towards rectifying that - and what a huge improvement so far...! lol

Very true, and they wonder why the corals are so damaged in this area. The tour and banana boat guys are also don't follow the route in/out any more, but cruise along the beach, sometimes very close to people and kids in the water, looking for customer, they for sure hit somebody one of these...

For sure I have seen this also, it's now an automatic feature of many new ATM, when low on cash it reduces max take out, specially on Sundays...

Just thinking it may not have happened on the same day in question..., card details sometimes are stolen days or weeks or even months before, and then they are passed (sold) around until it gets used... The most important thing to remember is never let the card out of your sight, even for a...

I thought the no fees was only for Scotia Bank card holders, local or from Canada etc. , it's interesting to hear also for UK banks, which bank do you have...?

What a great trading partner, I think it's exactly opposite side of the world, must be the furthest point on earth from DR..., aren't there any willing partners closer than that...!? 😅

The most logical thing I would have thought was to wait until at least that plaza they are building was close to completion...! It's still years away...!? Logic is not their strong suit in those parts... 🙄 Now we are left with a beach in rubbles for at least a couple of years, with some bars...

I think 110 or 120 is about the middle, not 150...

From that photo she looks like she is going to break any minute - not any Dominican I have seen look like that...! Even 10 years of malnurishment won't make that body, sorry..., not my type...😔

I don't think casita #56 is on Charimicos side, probably 150 is considered in the middle. From videos I have seen they were destroying bars way closer to El Batey side... Looked like a very rushed and unorganised operation, typical meyham, in one it looks like they are dragging the power...

I remember I used to upload the Amazon invoice on their BM Cargo website (even for $25 order). Once it arrived at their office in DR, get an email and pick it up from there.. (this was 2023). Few years ago had to fill up a customs form too, a one time registration thing, was easy to do. Use...

This is very accurate and should help the OP. Unless someone has changed the admin password, Claro service guys don't usually do this, but possible... In that case only a reset will help, and then Claro settings will be lost. But one thing you can do is as you have another exact same router...

I also hope Wise add DR to their destinations, they are very professional and give a good service with very competitive rates. I have used them for a very long time for other currencies, and no issues at all... I have checked Remitly for GBP transfer to USD or DOP and it's similar to Xoom -...

I guess need a static IP address for your router at home to be accessed easily, or does it have dynamic dns facility...?

Last I heard even after deportation can get back with about 10k pesos. They just cross the river on foot about 100 meter from the border bridge in Dajabon, then get a guagua back to Santiago, the money is for the driver to pay the few police and army checkpoints on the way..., easy peasy ...!

A lot of money...! I Googled the primary + secondary school population in DR, 2.2 million, add more for high school, and some uni students, say 4 million, be generous... With say $400mill spend, they should have bought a $100 tablet for every single student in DR...!?

I don't see this at all strange, not sure why the article and you guys think this is wasteful. This guy just put all his stuff in one bin, it takes zero minute to do it (that's less than a minute by the way)... Imagine those idiots who throw every bit of their stuff in a separate bins...

I know what you mean, but UK is far more strict in preventing money laundering and other dodgy dealings on their banking system, however, over there all data are online and linked up, so they can easily and quickly verify who you are and off we go... Here some bank clerk with very little...
