Can anyone recommend a good place to watch the Superbowl in Santiago? Somewhere with a large screen televison would be nice. Thanks. Vince.

Does anyone know when Delta will restart their service to STI? I'm about ready to abandon my remaining AA miles and start patronizing a new airline. AA flights into STI are a friggin joke. Vince.

Well, it's cold, raining, and generally nasty here in D.C. So I am doing what I normally do in these situations, reminisce about my summer learning Spanish in Santiago. I have a lot of pics, but these are the ones I could find right away and are stored in my photobucket account. I'll try to...

Wow. I actually like "Whine Up", so I got a little excited when Kat was announced at the beginning of the Cowboys/Eagles game. I guess that some artists just shouldn't sing live. Seriously, the microphone died in her hands as she was singing. And I think that everyone in the stadium was a...

Greetings esteemed fellow Dr1ners. After an eight month hiatus, I will be spending about a week in the Dr next month. Back when I was visiting seemed like every month (friend had an apartment in Santiago and air fares were half what they are now), I bought a Claro SIM card for my unlocked GSM...

56 year old man named Bob was recently divorced and looking for something else to occupy his time and money (what little his ex-wife didn't take). A friend suggested that going on an extended vacation to the caribbean would be just the thing. So Bob went online to do a little research. A...

My friends and I have been traveling to the DR for about four years now and have finally decided to take the plunge and rent an apartment there. We have decided on on Santiago because we love the fact that it is less touristy than other "cities" on the island. My question is, which...

I've seen a lot of threads about importing cars. But what about importing scooters? I never thought about it until a friend told me that a "pasola" purchased in the DR would cost around RD $140,000. That seems a little excessive when I can get a scooter for less than $2,000 US in the states...

Greetings forum members. I will be in Santiago for three weeks in August. As I like to stay clean cut, I will be needing a good barber. Can anyone tell me where a brotha can get a decent haircut. Preferably in the Parta Alta area because that is where I'll be staying. Any info would be...

Hello forum members, I have been vacationing in the DR for a few years now and am delighted that this site exists. I, along with a friend, will be living in Santo Domingo for the month of August while taking spanish classes. We need a decently priced two bedroom, or two one bedroom, condos...
