Miguel, i beg your pardon! lol!
Its quite hard to write down what you know about a place. I am at present trying to find books on the taino indian history, someone on here sugested i go onto amazon so i'm going to have a look later! i know Christopher Columbus found the island and called it paradise to start it was alreasy inhabited with the taino Indians also known as (arawark, think i spelt it correct), it was then called Hispaniola, which some people i speak to still call the DR that. erm, i know the capital is Santo Domingo, Haiti is on the west side of the island, hurricane season is between July and November! They had an earthquake in September 2003 (i was there), the language is obviuosly Spanish, population is on average 8 million (i think), the main religion is Catholic but some about 10 - 20% are Anglican or Jewish. National Independance day is the 27th February, not sure what year though that they gained independance!
erm....... i think of some more later, i've had a hard day at work!!! If i am incorrect on anything please tell me! I'd rather know as i do want to move there! I'm probably wrong somewhere along the Columbus part as i'm not 100% sure about all that! cheers
