Initially, I came to DR1 to find information to help me plan a smooth trip to the Dominican Republic.
I have found much travel information, thanks to all the very nice people here. But, I couldn't help but read many threads that have nothing to do with my travel plans.
What I have also found out about the Dominican Republic, it seems, is that there is a ton of crime, no way to earn a living, questionable banks and government, unreliable electricity, Sankies everywhere, and what appears to be a general air of unhappiness among many who live in the DR, particularly the expats.
So why does anyone move to the Dominican Republic?
I'm just curious what motivates you all to stick it out despite all the complaints I've read.
Is it the Beaches? The people? What?
