Hello all,
First of all, I'll introduce myself: I'm a thirty-something male, lived for several years in Santo Domingo, and by that time posted here (rarely) under another username which I don't recall.
Since several years my (dominican) wife and I decided to move to my homeland and try out living there, (partly because of economical reasons after living the hipolito years). However, after living for 3 years in Europe we realize that we (both!) miss living in DR. My country is not the same as it was (or I am not) and I'm confident my wife will never see my country as her country.
We are seriously considering moving back there, even though we are aware that this might mean sacrificing a bit of living standards we are currently experiencing.
In the last few weeks we hear more and more 'rumors' that the economical situation is serious in DR and friends and family from DR are telling us que las cosas son duras.
Are there any people here that could give there opinion on the situation in DR and give any recommendation on coming back. I'm wondering if we are looking through pink glasses, cause I remember how much I disliked the apagones, (not having inversor or planta), but right now being ready to accept a black out every now and then and being able to live again in DR.
Or perhaps anyone has experience in this situation, living in DR, going back to their homeland and coming back or wanting to come back after a while?
Thanks a lot!
