There’s no such thing as personal space here. That I agree with. I dislike tall music. To me it is the most disrespectful thing a person can do is having their music played at levels everyone can hear. I’ve concluded that most don’t even like the music they listen to if only they can hear it...

I’m not reaching at all. Everything is a “better deal” or “better quality” when it’s at a significant discount. Mexicans are better construction workers than Americans until year 3 of that shoddy construction work starts to show cracks in the foundation. I’ve heard it all and the white noise...

I think it applies to most which isn’t an inherently bad thing. Most foreigners came to DR for a slower and cheaper lifestyle. Nothing wrong with this. Dominican Republic did something like this in the early 1900’s with black Caribbeans from St. Kitts and Bahamas. Anglicized black Caribbeans...

Here’s the reality. Most of you have contempt for Dominicans as people, whether consciously or subconsciously simply because they demand the same level of respect as humans. Of course you conflate work performance with desperation and exploit a more than likely human being in an irregular status...

I live here and raise kids here with a lovely Dominican woman. It’s not extreme. Most of us are coming from the United States where endorsement of illegal immigration displaced people and undermined wages. In good faith I couldn’t imagine migrating to a nation and contributing to something I...

Enough to know that their cultural identity is inconsistent with recorded history. I employ you to ask this simple question to the ppl you know

You don’t have to agree with the reality of why expats hire illegals. If it’s not for the cheaper costs then please tell me why? Why does anyone do it? Foreigners who go to another country and do this should be deported as well. It’s a disgraceful practice to knowingly participate in the...

Yeh this is a deflection. Employing an illegal immigrant means there are little repercussions unless it’s by immigration. You are more than likely to not know where that person even lives and that person is more likely to change locations whenever they need to. The reality is Dominicans, and...

The real reality is if Haiti was Jamaica they’d be trying to retake the Dominican Republic. Their arrogance and dishonesty wouldn’t allow for two functioning democracies co-existing

Until there’s 30k Americans, 30k Chinese, 30k Russians engaging in what is nothing more than “birth tourism”, then yeh it’ll probably just and rightly be targeted towards the population practicing this ie Haitians.

Most of those Miami players are just Haitians themselves. Their oligarchs abroad control all of the ports and I’m positive it’s coming from the les cayes, Jeremie side

It really doesn’t matter how many you know personally. Here’s a good litmus test. One question will show you the depths of the culturally embedded delusions. Ask them when their ancestors arrived on Hispaniola? They will surely say 1492. By them telling history in that manner it does a series...

Yup. It’s greatly exaggerated and most don’t understand they are dealing with their diaspora which is the most educated populace. This is the inverse of most nations regarding their diaspora.

They make up 2/3rds of Bahamas population of 400k. And more than 2/3rds of Turks and Caicos population. The reason Haiti doesn’t share visa free entry throughout the CARICOM is due to Brazil and Suriname getting upset having Haitians travel thru Guyana (Carifom HQ) to their countries.

This is a loaded comment. 1. Haiti has one of the highest brain drains in the western world. If they want to develop they would all need to return home, but low trusts in civics means it’s never going to happen. 2. You’re only as educated as what you produce. There’s an obvious departure from...

As of 2024 this is what I’ve got. The most expensive schools in Santo Domingo: US$23,500 - Carol Morgan School US$17,000 - St. George School US$12,500 - Ashton School US$12,000 - Saint Joseph’s US$11,000 - American School US$10,500 - Saint Michael’s US$5,500 - Leaderville US$5,000 - Notre Dame...

It’s probably the best restaurant ambiance’s you can find in the zona colonial without getting a reservation. The courtyard is great and food is excellent.
