Is that only on the North Coast then ? It doesn’t seem to be the case anywhere else in the DR.The video does demonstrate what I have seen over the past 20 years as the north coast has transitioned from tourism to more expats.

Yes: I think so, but I have little knowledge of what is going on in Punta Cana other than what I see in the news.Is that only on the North Coast then ? It doesn’t seem to be the case anywhere else in the DR.
My wife and I like it just fine and dandy, but then we hate Santo Domingo and would very much find the Florida Flat of Punta Cana just not at all to our liking. Even being from Jarabacoa, she doesn't take kindly to being there very long. So here we are on the north coast.I could not think of a place that I would like less than the north coast (with a horde of ex-pats) to live in, retire in or visit.![]()
And furthermore, the terrain of the north coast is far better for me than other locations in the DR. The people where I live I have always been able to ignore, for the most part. Same as when I lived in California. I really liked the area I was in there, but the douche bag liberals had to be ignored.I could not think of a place that I would like less than the north coast (with a horde of ex-pats) to live in, retire in or visit.![]()
Take no personal offense wind. To each his own. We know your hatred for SD...Enjoy your life as you please.My wife and I like it just fine and dandy, but then we hate Santo Domingo and would very much find the Florida Flat of Punta Cana just not at all to our liking.

You ignore" them? I could clearly see it the other way around. (LOL).No offense as all is fine and dandy with you and wifiy and dats all that counts.And furthermore, the terrain of the north coast is far better for me than other locations in the DR.

And SHAME on him. Seriously, keep your nose clean and your boots polished and every thing will come up roses.For the OP, I don't think of an expat as someone who spends part of their time in the DR.
A person who is here 3 to 6 months in the winter is a snowbird who probably avoids the inconvenience of being here legally.
Expatriates are those the live outside their home country.
I have ben to PP twice and really like it. Sosua I can live without, but PP was very clean and quiet. Of course, I don't hang around ex pats, but that's my choice and could change.I could not think of a place that I would like less than the north coast (with a horde of ex-pats) to live in, retire in or visit.![]()
It’s The Netherlands, our language is Dutch, Holland is only two provinces, one were The Hague (must ring you a bell), and Rotterdam is.The video does demonstrate what I have seen over the past 20 years as the north coast has transitioned from tourism to more expats.

Where did the Dutch go? You know the ones from Holland or the Netherlands or whatever it is called, so confusing, and a German is actually interviewed.
You know for many Dominicans all of The Netherlands is Holanda but, for many Dominicans all of the USA is Nueba Yol, all of the DR is Santo Domingo, etc.It’s The Netherlands, our language is Dutch, Holland is only two provinces, one were The Hague (must ring you a bell), and Rotterdam is.
The other Holland is were Amsterdam is situated.
Dutch is not Deutsch, the German word for the German language.
So take some time to learn this, if you wish.
lowland Germans, LOL. Lots of both in my ancestry. Dey, kersenaar, van Buskirk, Ellis, Jacobus, Baard, Ackkerman...etc.It’s The Netherlands, our language is Dutch, Holland is only two provinces, one were The Hague (must ring you a bell), and Rotterdam is.

If some expats are starting to call all of The Netherlands Holland, consider it must be effects from the Dominican water (when they get it, lol.)
Would that be “Ackerman”? I had a friend who had that last name, from the north of the Netherlands with the German border.lowland Germans, LOL. Lots of both in my ancestry. Dey, kersenaar, van Buskirk, Ellis, Jacobus, Baard, Ackkerman...etc.
