I booked ticket to DR for around 20th October. So, yes, here I come...
Anyway, AFTER (ha ha) i booked ticket I started to read info about safety in DR... I read about thiefs, about muggins , about embassy warnings, about fake police officers, I read on wikipedia about world's highest ratios of murders by countries (DR is in the top 20....). Later whoever I ask he tells me that either he got some things stolen or he knows other people with the same situation....
i hear and read about house breakins, robbers with knifes, guns, etc....
I'll land in Punta Cana around 2 pm... As 100 % individual tourist...Should I bring tank with myself ? Guns, knife ? ha ha.... My level of spanish is around 0,5/10 , I am experienced backpacker and traveller though....
What level of precautions should i take with myself ? Is it really-really not recommended to walk after dusk in DR anywhere ? i did so in most of European cities, in South East Asia, in Morocco... nothing wrong happened to me...How is that different from situation on Carribean - DR ?
Thanks for non sarcastic answers ! ;-)
