Hi all, This here is the start of an investigation for a possible move for myself & my family to Santo Domingo. Basically, I am looking for a middle-class neighborhood, that is quiet, no loud music, no party. Coming from Las Terrenas, it sounds almost impossible, hence this thread, to get other...

So I finally ditched that "Social" plan for my Orange Blackberry 9300... I now have the Blackberry Full, coupled with "Plan Ardilla" (60mn of calls for 320rd$). I will pay around 1400rd$ monthly, instead of the 1024rd$ I was paying with Social+Ardilla. It works fine, I can surf from the...

For various reasons, I need to buy a new motorbike. I can't use the truck all the time, as I am sharing it with family members, and buying another car is not an option. I plan to ride this motorbike mostly in the Las Terrenas area, and the Saman? peninsula. For the first time in a decade, I...

I am publishing here an email that I received from Mr.Jos? Bourget, denouncing Dr. Prim Pujals, the Saman? senator. I think it is of public interest.It's hight time that those rich politicians are asked some questions about all the money they are given. I am sorry both the link and the message...

Here's a practical question that (I guess) Fabio would be able to answer : -"What is the minimum size of a sidewalk (conten) in a village street ?" Indeed the authority proceeded to asphalt the street where I live. So first they installed the sidewalk, or at least the "conten", which is the...

Hi Fabio, Here's my question : let's say I own an apartment in my own name. I bought it for 60000, and I sell it for 120000. -Am I going to be taxed on the benefice (60000) ?

Here's an interesting article from a very sharp dominican gentleman, Antonio Perpi?an, who is specialized in Free Open Source Software... It is in spanish (sorry for the non-spanish readers...), and I am posting it today, since most of my rants about DR-CAFTA were focused on the disappearance of...

Keep an eye on this. It could be very big. DomRep airports should already be screening/and taking precautions at airports. Spread of virus is approx 40% a day, death rate 5%. Could ground all aircraft and empty anywhere people gather, restaurants, cinemas, hotels, etc. I've been working on it...
