Hi everyone,
My name is Ryan and I'll be a new Santo Domingo resident this coming November...I'm moving there from the Los Angeles area with my Dominican(although she's Chinese...haha) wife and have a couple questions that I'm hoping to get answered. First I'd like to say how awesome this board is, I've been spending hours on end reading and learning as much as I can before I get there...So thanks everyone for all the info
First off, has anyone recently moved from the States(or specifically LA) and brought their household items with them? I'm in the process of getting shipping quotes from a bunch of people as I just sold my house in Redondo Beach, so any help with suggestions would be much appreciated! As per the suggestions on this board, we're selling our cars before we leave, so its strictly just household stuff...possibly some new appliances depending on what I hear here.
Cell phone providers...We both use the iphone here and of course would like to continue using one there...Are there more than one provider or are you locked in like we are here with AT&T? We plan on selling our current iphones here as I'm pretty sure they are locked to our carrier, so we'll also need to buy new ones there as well. Hows the data service down there? Dare I ask any 3G coverage?
And finally for right now...Anyone have a good Spanish tutor they want to tip me onto? They're going to need patients of steel
Thanks in advance for any help!
