    What's sad about that?

    Another natural gas-fired power plant for the southeast

    Better than coal, anyway.

    Temporary Residency

    Abreu and Associated specialise in Residency matters, so they should know better than people here, I would think.

    Dominican foreign minister calls for controls to those who finance the chaos and export firearms to Haiti

    I agree that it is really important that the USA clamps down on the arms supply. If the criminals don't have guns and ammunition, they can't continue their destruction of the country.

    Since, as usual, you wrongly think you know everything about me, I will inform you that I don't go to the Mojito Bar very much at all. However, I do know that it is the most popular bar on Cabarete beach, so most people, it seems, disagree with your description. From my very occasional visits...

    business

    The Arriba bar calls itself a sports bar but I think it has one TV and a couple of pool tables. It gets very little trade these days, mainly because of the disinterest of the owner who does nothing to make clients feel welcome. He is more interested in being with the girls who visit, albeit in...

    Sosúa Beach Renovations

    Not that it has anything to do with beach renovations, but there are a lot fewer these days.

    Toxic Generosity

    I would say that it applies to many young ladies here, too. :)

    Just for a change, why not be polite and tolerant to a new poster who has asked a simple question? He obviously has little experience here, so has come here with an enquiry to help him.

    It might break even if you are in an area where there are a lot of foreign tourists and no competition from other sports bars. Live piano music - a waste of money in my opinion.

    It could double in ten years, but it might not!

    Former President Fernandez expresses concern over unchecked migration

    "Woke" BS? Now that's how to bring the conversation down to your level. I was trying to have a sensible discussion about people who are BORN here, live here for many years and then are deported. I didn't say anything about taking anybody in. I suggest you read what people say before adding...

    Former President Fernandez expresses concern over unchecked migration

    Maybe that's the problem for those born here - maybe their parents were illegal. But it doesn't change the fact that if they are deported, they are dumped in a country where they don't know the language, don't know anyone and don't know how to survive there. Right or wrong, I have sympathy for...

    E-ticket exit data

    Somebody told me you have to have the QR code etc. printed out because they don't accept the one on the phone any more. Is that true?

    Former President Fernandez expresses concern over unchecked migration

    True, but it is almost impossible for most Haitians born here to become legalised. The processes to do so are not available to them.

    Dominican Republic expects 12 million tourists in 2024; concerns about growing too fast

    The fact remains that not many Dominicans have the necessary language skills to communicate well with tourists in the hospitality business. I think it is mainly due to poor education and also a lack of desire. Perhaps those that come from other countries (such as Haiti) are more motivated to...

    Former President Fernandez expresses concern over unchecked migration

    Imagine having lived all your life here, then being picked up and dumped in a country where you know nobody, don't speak the language and have no idea how to survive. That's the plight of many people of Haitian descent who have been born and brought up here.

    Dominican Republic expects 12 million tourists in 2024; concerns about growing too fast

    ' “We can grow more, but we need to be ready on the infrastructure side and the human resource side,” she said.' She's right, because the language skills and infrastructure are not good enough for the ever-increasing number of visitors. Here in Cabarete, they have just cleared a big patch of...
