I see all of the posts about living in DR, but I notice all of the post are about independent living. My situation is different because I'll be living with a family. A mother, father and two sons. Can you provide advice as far as living with a family?
I'm sure they'll cover the basics with me, but what about how I fit it? Should making it to dinner be a priority? I'm American and did not eat "family dinner" every night and I understand Dominicans are extremely family oriented?
Also, should I bring a gift when I move to DR or is this something I should consider when I move out? I'll be in DR the entire 2010 calendar year.
Any suggestions/advice will be appreciated.
