DR rates high in Caribbean
According to a study published by the New Economics Foundation in London, the Dominican Republic is the best country to live in within the Caribbean and number 26 in the whole world, taking into account "the good life of its citizens and respect for the resources on which it depends". Clave Digital points out that the "Happy Planet Index" presents its scores based on the success or failure of the 178 countries in providing a good quality of life to its citizens and at the same time providing respect for the limited natural resources. The majority of reader comments on the Clave Digital website expressed disbelief about what they were reading, and some downright ridiculed the report.
So quit your bittching and keep enjoying life in the DR whether you live there or wish to live there some day!!!
