Hi,
My girlfriend and I are want to move to the Dominican Republic. My friend used to live there, and said that it's cheap and amazing. We moved back to the states after living in Chengdu, China for 2 year, so I'm not worried about bargaining or culture shock. I am worried that we won't find the right neighborhood to live in or pay to much for an apartment. We have between $3000-$4000 spending cash, not a lot I know. So we don't want to make a fatal error.
Where should we be looking to move in the Dominican Republic? My friend recommended Santo Domingo, but I don't think he traveled much. I like the idea of living in a city on the ocean though.
How much should we expect to pay for an apartment? I've read that they start around $300 in Santo Domingo. Can you recommend a good place to start looking for apartments?
Is food expensive? or is it going to be $1 a meal like in China?
Do you need a license to own a scooter? and How much do they cost?
Thanks for your help in advance. We're hoping to move in a month or two and can't wait to get there.
