I am supposed to track someone down in Villa Mella when I go to Santo Domingo next month and I have no idea how to get there. The area is Las Guaricanes and I have heard it was dangerous. I generally would not go out on a mission like this but I am doing a favor for a friend.
This friend has 2 children and he has had alot of bad luck sending things to them. Usually the pipeline works like this-the dominicans who know each other who are in similar circumstances(they are in NYC but cannot go back home because of money/time constraints) keep in touch with those who get to go 'home" so if anyone in their group goes over, they are asked to bring a few things to family members. My friend has sent things over with people he thought he could trust but the messengers have always helped themselves to certain items meant for his kids.
So I volunteered to do him the favor but I was wondering if anyone is aware of this place and can tell me a little about it besides whether it is safe or not.
Yes, I know A while ago I posted a question about this barrio but those were different circumstances. I have an exact address, so it would be helpful if anyone knows this area well and can give me any info. Thanks in advance.
