Ah, but you forgot local politics. It adds humor and excitement to life here in the same manner I find humor and excitement in a trainwreck... if the train was full of clowns... stupid, drunken clowns... having sex with other clowns.

Pugh!

I must go bleach my brain.

Welcome back Criss. It's been too quiet around here without you.

I just returned from 2 weeks in the USA.I always feel this way when I get back.I can't think of anything that keeps me here other that the fact that I can have sex with a seemingly never ending stream of young,sexy,pretty,and lets not forget "cheap" dominican girls!

What am I saying?

"Oh",there goes my phone again.It has been ringing off the hook since I got back yesterday! Loooks like lots of "Momis,need a new pair of shoes"!

"So many girls,so little time"!....and more arriving daily from the "Campo"!

What A Country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Criss actually there are plenty of places in the US where you can get $5 and lower BJs all you can pay for, with as many as you want. I can set you up with a steady steam of attractive (but of course poor) woman who don't care who they do it with.

So fly back to the us, and bring your Viagra.

If I was a moderator I'd edit your post title to correct the syntax and meaning to what you meant: Is there ANY reason to live in the DR except the poor woman who are willing to do anything for a buck???

Welcome back criss . . . . .

*Mumbles* Everyone in the word is having massive amounts of fun but me I feel like such a loser...


Have fun with the dominicana's at DR...

Double post-sorry I hit the button twice.

1) The weather is better than were I live.

2) All the range of places that you can go to like the beaches, the mountains, or even the swamps.

3)Oh yes don't forget the food!!!!!

That bears repeating. THE FOOD, THE FOOD!

Am I biased or what?

Ah Yes, The Food ...

You want great street food, from every nation on the planet, 24 hours a day? Visit Kuala Lumpur sometime.

You want unknown-don't-ask-don't-tell-meat burgers (sometimes with their cute little tails still sticking out from the bun) with ketchup and mayo from the push cart? Santo Domingo or Sosua.

How about a hot-dog, no mustard, or relish, just ketchup and mayo? Yup. Sosua, Santo Domingo or anywhere else in the DR.

Real Mexican tacos? They've got those at real restaurants in Santiago! Made with hot dog meat, and of course mixed with ketchup and mayo.

Well, I could go on forever. But I think I'll just go on to McDonald's or Burger King, or Taco Bell, or Pollo Victorina ...

How about the slooooowwww pace?

Best chicken I ever had was from a street vendor in the middle of the night.

Now I'm listening to that bachata station and I feel like I'm almost there. Can't wait !

Bachata?!

If you like your chicken with ... ketchup and mayonnaise! Oh, and that extra secret little meat-sauce they use. Don't ask, don't tell! LOL.

Tom (aka XR)

Q. You know what you get when you play a bachata song in reverse?
A. You get your wife back, your moto back, your horse back, your dog back, your domino table back ...

Chicken had nothing on it. That's what made it so good.

XR I don't care for fast food or street food. And don't you dare say our hot dogs only have ketchup and mustard because it means you've been going to the wrong hot dog stands (not that I care either, I don't eat meat). I wouldn't mind if every fast food joint dissapeared, I don't patronize them.

Hmm... shrimp asopao for lunch, with aguacate and tostones. ?Como te qued? el ojo forastero?

Don't forget Pib, you're in the big city, we're just country hicks up here.

Now to get back on topic ... how can I make a joke combining using ketchup and mayo and sex lubricants ... Hmmm ...

The funny thing is that I ask myself the same question all the time, but about the US. Is there any reason to live in the US other than the money I'm making? I can't seem to find one...I guess it all depends on you priorities and what stage in your life you're at. For me, right now the US is the right choice, because of the money and because I want my kids to get a good education, etc...But I have to tell you, the more I go back to the DR the more convinced I become that there is no other place on earth that I want to retire to. I'm very biased, of course, having spent my younger years over there. The sex is one thing, but I think you can get that anywhere - at least I feel I could - but there are a host of other things that I just love. Here are a few:
- The carefree attitude and YES the lax laws and rules. Here in the US, you can't drink a beer outside, if you're in a bar you have to leave at 2:00 AM, whether you want or not, you can't paint your house the color you want, you have to always be politically correct, you can't drive 10 miles over the speed limit without having to be constantly looking over your shoulders, etc... (I must say that the DR is the other extreme. I feel there must be some order and rules, but the US is stiffling). I love to be able to drink anywhere I feel like, listen to music loud if I feel like, etc...It makes you feel so much more free.
- I love the food (rice, guandules, chivo guisado, mangoes, oranges, coconuts...etc, right from the tree, dulce de naranja, dulce de batata, habichuelas con dulce...you name it). I would trade the most tender filet mignon for a plate of moro con chivo anytime...We all have our preferences. I'm sure for CrisCo it's things like chowder, good seafood, etc...
- Friendliness of people - You can say whatever you want about every country having friendly people and YES they do - I've been to many - But, nowhere have I seen people treat complete strangers the way they do in the DR. Here's an example. My brother and I were in Barahona. After a night of drinking we went to a small colmado to buy some water to re-hydrate. We started talking to the lady about the previous night and she offers to make us some soup that she promises will make us feel a lot better. So, she does...Not to say this would not happen anywhere else in the world, but I have yet to visit a place where people would do something like this for a complete stranger with nothing to gain.
- The music - I'm very eclectic when it comes to music ( Like many different types), but I still love my bachata, merenge, salsa and Boleros best. Even though I like many types of music (american, Jamaican, African, Jazz, rap, etc...) I just don't get as "affected" by them as Dominican music. I don't remember ever getting the blues (amargado) to any american song, yet I have done so plenty of times to Bachatas and Boleros. American music was not made for dancing...Dominican music just "calls" you to the dance floor. It is just more fun IMHO.
- There are many more reasons, but the most important one to me is that it just feels like home to me. Not sure how to explain it - It's a feeling - but when I'm there I just feel like I'M HOME!!! Even though I've lived in the US for a long time, I don't get the same feeling whenever I come back here.
