I would like to know the member expat's opinions about whether they really feel "accepted" by the Domincan community in which they live and why or why not.
This idea came from another thread so as not to hijack that thread with this topic I decided to start a new one.
My wife is Dominican and it has been my experience that the majority of Domincans I have met and have interacted with have been very accepting of me. I won't hesitate to add that even though I have lived in the states for the majority of my life that I have never felt more accepted anywhere than I do here.
Also, we live in Santiago and used to live in Moca and I understand the attitude of the people that live in the "interior" towards foreigners is substantially different from the attitudes of the locals that live in the tourist areas - which may be one of the reasons for differences in feeling "accepted" by the community. I am interested in hearing everybodies experience and opinions.
