Ex-pats (3 or more years in the DR), any change of heart?
Ive lived here for 3 years and do I want to move away from here? YES!!!
Dont get me wrong, I loved this country when I moved here and still did up until recently. But after having a baby here, I worry constantly about how dangerous life is here and the worry has made me want to move away from here.
Also, missing my 'home' and family and home comforts play a big role too.

I always told mi esposa to just put me outside with the rest of the garbage, in case of my death (now, as I am a weed, and everybody knows it is impossible to kill weeds... lol)
In Europe she would have to sort me through the garbage, and even then it would cost her a fortune to have me disposed of, by buying all those green bags from the government for ecological waste...
Here she can dump me on the trash-heap early friday morning, and wouldn't even have to bother with a plastic bag... and I would leave this world in the way I have lived my life... being good to animals... I'm sure the vira lata would have a feast on me...:bunny:
I asked my wife that if I pass way here in the State to take my ash and go to the very top of "El Monumento" in Satiago and spread it around but she don't wanna do so for this reason I need to make sure the day the death come for me I will be there.

Unfortunately, it may imply a short hop to Santiago for the deceased... See granca's post above:
What a moral uplifting topic this thread has turned into. In a glooming raining week like this, santo domingo is drowning and streets are flooding which would make china's flooding look like kiddy bathtub and we are talking about cremation or disposed in some green biological degradable bags? What is wrong with you people? Unlike many other senior citizens, I didn't come here to be burnt over fire and have my ashes spread all over the broke-back mountain. I am here to live a new life, stress-free and without the first-world problems.
I am planning on living a long healthy and pleasurable life.

Save it bushbaby, I do see the humor in the previous posts. So read mine with a smile as well.

Atlanta, Georgia. Its my (family) home and I would like to be buried next to my parent's grave.

We will all remember that and try to see to your wishes.
If transporting your body becomes too much of a legal hassle .... cremation... and we can ship you like coffee......
Seriously, extricating a body from a country can be difficult.

Thanks for the concern, but I am not planning on dying for the next 30 yrs. If in case of an unfortunate end to my existence in this country, I am sure my family will be here on the next plane to take me away.
Now lets talk about living here as opposed to dying here.

So far only one nay. I thought with the wave of crimes against ex-pats, there would be more nays. I guess you guys don't perceive the situation as dire as I thought you would.
What is it about Colombia that entices you?
