Moving to the Santo DOmingo for the summer and was wondering where I could find cheap accomodation for three months. How far is the city from the beach? If not far I would prefer to live somewhere in between. What is the best place?
-And how is transportation there? I would like to have my own transportation there. How much do used bikes run? Used mopeds?
- Is there any surfing/places to get surfboards there?
-I am thinking of diong an independent photo project. Are there any interesting small groups of people that would be fun to follow aeound with a camera?
-Are there any expats? Are there peace corps people there?
-Is it possible to volunteer at a school or orphanage without going through a program?
-What is the #1 issue going on there that I should be aware of? : Drugs, crime, aids, environmental degradation, sex tourism?

-That is a lot of questions, any help would be great. Thanks!!
