Thats an interesting idea, a home for the elderly. The way to make dominicans feel "safer" sending their elderly parents to a home is if the retirement home company offers an incentive. Maybe, bring your parents for 15 days and if they (the parents and sons/daughters) are not completely satisfied, a partial refund will be given. The key to success in such business with such incentive is to make the customer as happy and comfortable as possible. It might be easier said than done, but "doable". About the church or brothel thing. I am all for a brothel. My philosophy is that Capitalism offers everything and the people chose if its moral or not WITH THEIR MONEY. A brothel will do very well, especially if you "import" beauty queens/kings (business is more profitable if targeted to men, women, gays, and lesbians too) from around the globe, to give some variation. Add to that a very nice locale and a "dirty" gift shop to be opened nationwide, some advertisement abroad, and breaking a deal with some hotels to accomodate your foreign customers with "extra care" and bang, the money downpour will start to fall!!! Like I said, personally I think brothels are very inmoral, but then again, I don't believe that other people should be restricted from patronizing such business based on MY BELIEFS. Now, about that church thing, that is a bit too much. I could create some serious hatred towards you by the local dominicans. I also wonder how well would Helados Bon or Pollo Rey would do on an international level. Imagine, every major city and country sprinkled with Helados Bon joints. I think there is alot of potential not being maximized or realized by dominicans poor or rich.
