Anyone from Puerto Plata living in the UK?
Saskia's husband Jonathan is from Puerto Plata, they're in Herts. (not the north I know). Might be an idea to PM because they're busy with their new arrival.

Jason & Eridania, If you contact Saskia by PM do it in English. Although if you send it in Spanish Jonathan will be able to translate for her. Is this your first baby? They've just had theirs. 
Sorry for the delay
Thanks Ginnie ... Josh has given me a moment to catch up at last! I'll send an email too.

A diary is one way to get acquainted with yourself
Hello. Prompt how to get acquainted with the girl it to me to like. But does not know about it
I have read through one history
Each of you has your personal story; it is your history. Keeping a diary or writing your feelings in a special notebook is a wonderful way to learn how to think and write about who you are -- to develop your own identity and voice.
People of all ages are able to do this. Your own history is special because of your circumstances: your cultural, racial, religious or ethnic background. Your story is also part of human history, a part of the story of the dignity and worth of all human beings. By putting opinions and thoughts into words, you, too, can give voice to your inner self and strivings.
A long entry by Anne Frank on April 5, 1944, written after more than a year and a half of hiding from the Nazis, describes the range of emotions 14-year-old Anne is experiencing:
". . . but the moment I was alone I knew I was going to cry my eyes out. I slid to the floor in my nightgown and began by saying my prayers, very fervently. Then I drew my knees to my chest, lay my head on my arms and cried, all huddled up on the bare floor. A loud sob brought me back down to earth, and I choked back my tears, since I didn't want anyone next door to hear me . . .
"And now it's really over. I finally realized that I must do my school work to keep from being ignorant, to get on in life, to become a journalist, because that's what I want! I know I can write. A few of my stories are good, my descriptions of the Secret Annex are humorous, much of my diary is vivid and alive, but . . . it remains to be seen whether I really have talent . . .
"When I write I can shake off all my cares. My sorrow disappears, my spirits are revived! But, and that's a big question, will I ever be able to write something great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer? I hope so, oh, I hope so very much, because writing allows me to record everything, all my thoughts, ideals and fantasies.
"I haven't worked on Cady's Life for ages. In my mind I've worked out exactly what happens next, but the story doesn't seem to be coming along very well. I might never finish it, and it'll wind up in the wastepaper basket or the stove. That's a horrible thought, but then I say to myself, "At the age of 14 and with so little experience, you can't write about philosophy.' So onward and upward, with renewed spirits. It'll all work out, because I'm determined to write! Yours, Anne M. Frank

Anyone from DR in North West
My husband Jhon is from Puerto Plata and we live in Wrexham, North Wales and would love to meet up with anyone from DR living in UK. We are in contact with Saskia and are hoping to go to London for NYE (work and weather permitting!). We've not managed to meet up with anyone since he came over in March and would love to do so.

Just to let you all know, they all met up on New Year's Eve, Saskia & Jonathan, Louise & Alfonso, Jason & Eridania. Isn't that nice? I'll let them tell you about it because I was in Puerto Plata..........
I'll let them tell you about it because I was in Puerto Plata..........My husband has also found work without any problem. I agree with Saskia. It depends on what they're willing to do. My husband now works as chef in local pub. Sorry we missed Salsa as would have been good to meet up. Happy New Year to everyone from Ceri & Jhon
Happy New Year!!
Hi Ceri
Shame you missed NYE, it was a really good night but don't worry ... we are going to try to get a group together for Dominican Independence Day which is on the 27th Feb, although we we probably organise the get together for the Saturday before or the one after. I'll keep you posted
Hopefully we'll get an even bigger group together xxx
There are some pics on Dominicano en Londres

Hi everyone! This is my first post after months of just browsing.
Just seen the NYE pics - looked like fun! Please let me know about any plans for independence day.
My boyfriend is dominican and we have a child but he's not living here with us (my story is a long one, I won't go into it!). I would like to get to know any dominicans and their partners living over here. (i'm in London btw)
