Good afternoon. Its a nasty day here in Atlanta, GA. Me and the wifey who is from Santo Domingo and isnt a Sankie for all the haters. We are planning a move in the near future and If possible I would like to hear some feed back on the pros and cons of living on the island. We visit twice a year so I know all the little things, Im just trying to get some insight of life year round. Whats it like for a gringo living there, I speak full spanish so the language barrier will be non existint. More curious how the blond hair blue eyes stand out in regards to feeling like a target or being a target. We will be moving to Bella Vista to be close to her parents. I know this is a decent area from first hand experience. Here in Atlanta crime is at an all time high but mainly it depends on the area where the crime is. In Santo Domingo everyone is in the same cramped area together rich and poor so how does that play out? Do the people who live in the city live with fear due to being surrounded by the poor? And it seems that its not the poor area but a few bad apples possibly in each sector causing issues. I could continue on but this is getting a little long winded. Just curious on honest feed back of current residents.
Thanks in advance
