Hi,
I am trying to buy a bed as a xmas gift for a friend I met in DR this year. I'm from Australia and spent 5 weeks in caberete this nov/dec. Long story short I became friends with his family and they helped me speak spanish, cooked for me, helped me around the area etc.
They don't have much money even by DR standards. I bought them some groceries and his mother cried because it meant so much. Anyway, I know it's only one family and alot of people struggle there but I figured I would do my bit and at least help them.
Anyway, the trouble I'm having is findind a place I can buy a bed and have it delivered to him. Most places in DR don't have websites, and my Spanish is really poor so it's hard for me to call a store to explain.
If anyone knows a place in the Puerto Plata area that would sell beds and a way I could contact them to organize this it would be awesome. Even if you could help translate or something that would be great. I'm hoping to spend less than $20,000 pesos. It would need to be a twin or queen sized bed. Ideally we could get him a small frame for the bed as well, something just to keep it off the floor.
Anyway if you have any suggestions or ideas please let me know. Your help is much appreciated.
thanks,
Rick
