What made you choose to live in DR?
Without having immersed myself in the archives of this message board, I notice recent commentaries on corruption, lousy politicians, pollution, inflation, noise, lack of respect etc. etc. There is quite an extensive list of negative aspects on living in DR.
Every coin has a flip side and ?et in arcadia ego? but still? Why have you chosen to live in the Dominican Republic?
I am just curious to know the reasons why people choose to move there and stay?
Was it by pure coincidence? You were there on vacation and fell in love with the place? Then you decided to move there without checking up on alternative places on the planet?
Or was if after careful scrutiny of all ?tropical? destinations? You checked the infrastructure, economy, politics, culture, location etc of Malaysia and DR and decided that DR had more to offer?
Maybe you decided that, of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, the one in Sosua is the best?
You received a job offer you couldn?t resist?
I have friends who have decided to live in Cuba, Thailand and the Philippines. They all feel that they have made a good choice of a place to live. In all three cases, they have met women from those countries, when working there or elsewhere, and then decided to live there rather than back home in Europe. Is that the case for you too? The DR woman ?pull? you to her country?
It appears as if most of you come from North America, so for you maybe you just want to be close to your home country?
I am just curious?
