You would be leading a Happy Life if you lived in Tripoli Libya!
When you only are responsible for yourself,LIFE is EASY!
Add a spouse,kids,family members,a house,cars,medical ins,tuition,etc.,etc.
LIFE is a bit more of a struggle,ESPECIALLY in the DR!
Here,you can always call the,electric company,water company,police,fire,etc. You can CALL,but nothing will ever happen!
For me,the BEST THING about living in the DR is our Extended Family!My kids really like having the grandparents living with us.Other family members live nearby.
Other than that,if you have a car breakdown here,a crowd will soon gather to "Help Out"!I had a group actually lift my van into the air,(With Me Inside!) and get me off a high curb!I have been pushed down C/Churchill!
If you get sick,everyone will come to help you out!
And the ONE Thing,that Dominicans do unbelievably well,is "BURY THE DEAD"!
You die,everyone you have EVER met will be at your funeral,the flowers,priests,will be there.You will have a huge funeral procession to your grave,and all this in about 24 hours!! I can hardly wait!!!!
