Hi all,
I'm new here. Just got back from a 1 week all inclusive DR vacation and since i've been home (wintry canada!) all i can think about is going back. I was staying just outside Rio San Juan, and am thinking of going back to RSJ to live and work for a month or so on my own (I do web work, so my job is portable - yay for that).
I have a bunch of questions about that. I'd love it if anyone who has spent some time there can help me with answers to any of these questions:
thanks a bunch!

I have a bunch of questions about that. I'd love it if anyone who has spent some time there can help me with answers to any of these questions:
- can i get consistent high speed internet access (with little or no downtime)?
- how much can i expect to pay for a furnished apartment for one month? (anyone know of any websites with listings?)
- will i be/feel safe there on my own? i know this is fairly subjective, but any input is appreciated.
- I have considered getting my own accoms, or trying to let a room with a family so i have a bit of a safety net - any advice on that?
- what is the crime rate like there? do i need to be concerned that my laptop might get stolen? (don't want to sound like an a**hole with that comment, but recognize the dynamics of seeming the "rich" girl in a country where the people don't have that much money - don't want to make myself a target...)
thanks a bunch!
