Im moving to Santo Domingo in the next month and would love some info on neighborhoods to look in for an apartment, cultural norms etc...I will have a good job so money is not a huge concern. I would like to live in an upscale area but it doesnt have to be an American area, I am looking forward to "living" in the DR, not just having an apartment there. I did buy the book "living in Santo Domingo ('98) from the Expatriate site. One thing that has made me nervous is how the men treat women. I am single and dont want to put my dating life on hold just because Im in a foreign country but I have been reading that the men are playboys...have many girlfreinds etc...is this true? Does anyone have any info? I know this happens all over the world but I am wondering if the stories I am hearing/reading have a lot of truth to them? Also, I have cats that I want to bring with me, any info on bringing pets to the country? I plan to visit the consulates but if anyone has already gone through this, word of mouth is always helpful!! Thanks! Any tips on the details of moving...cost of bringing my furniture vs buying new stuff...what tips can you share with me???
