I decided the start this thread after seeing that a couple of creepy douche bags emm hmm WW have been slapping my name around all over these boards.
Two of the threads were closed ? thanks DV8 because clearly I hadn?t been here to defend myself so here I am to say my piece.
Inquiring minds what happened to me and my restaurant?. Well?.
Aside from being fleeced by Ayunamiento in Sosua on the regular which included having my sign confiscated twice despite my lawyer having received permission and despite that opening a business in Sosua lit me up like a light bulb causing every ladrone to become aware of me and thinking I have money leading me to having my apartment broken into, I have mentioned on other threads (including the one I opened promoting my business as a PAID advertiser on DR1) that I also own a business in Canada ? a quite successful one in fact.
The fact that I had an excellent manager running the show here, afforded me the ability to pursue the business in Sosua. Unfortunately in August, around the time I opened the business she announced she was pregnant. Here in Canada, as an employer that makes her entitled to 1 year of Mat leave which she can start at any point in time. She decided to take it in December of 2014. Not as romantic a tale as some here who don?t even know me have told?. Sorry to disappoint.
Prior to her mat leave and as I mentioned here ? in November my apartment was broken into. This was rather terrifying and led me to do some real soul searching. Hmmmm? with my manager coming up to mat leave ? should I:
a. Continue to pursue a business which was barely breaking even, continually be stressed out by the BS town government, risk my life and above all else be absent from a successful business here in Canada?. or;
b. Sell everything and go back to spending time in DR off the radar and as my business at home permits
I took option b.
In November I sold all of my furniture and got rid of the apartment. In January I closed the business and sold all the equipment and furnishings there.
All in all I lost a total of $5k and learned valuable lessons about the types of ventures I would and would not get involved in, in DR.
My manager has now been off 7 months. I have been in Canada working my A$$ off which is why I haven?t had all the time in the world on my hands to check in here. I have another few months to go and then I will have my freedom back!
Until then I will continue to work my a$$ off and I am also pursuing my immigration certification in both Canada in the US in what little spare time I have - so maybe in the future I will open a business doing something in that arena.
So?. Strange little old men who seem to have me firmly implanted in their minds to keep bringing me up here ? Get and effing life!!!!! Oh and should you want to continue posting lies and things you have made up about me --- please be gracious enough to follow the rules and post your full name and address - not email address, home address.
To all the DR1?ers who I was grateful enough to have met when I had the restaurant --- that was one of the greatest benefits I gained from the whole ordeal. I met so many fantastic people and friends who I hope to know my entire life =) =) and that my friends is priceless!
