Got a couple of emails from a new member who seems to be fearful of posting on the board. I've answered his other questions but the are some that I don't have the experience to answer so I thought I'd post them here and with my directing him here maybe he will get involved.
He wants to visit with our island for 4 or 5 months and seems to be set on staying in SD or San Pedro de Macor?s only. He has a great love of baseball.
His question is;
"I guess that it is safe to bring the laptop but that I
must be careful, as
ever. I just wonder if getting place in S Domingo or
SPDM would make me a
target, stand outing so...tho I know the former is
large. Do you think I can
get a decent, safe place with running water, a.c. and
solid enough
electricity in either of these two cities for around
400 bucks or so?"
He had a concern about thief and I gave him the typical answer about crime prevention.
As I don't have any ideas about prices in these 2 areas of the country would the board please respond to this thread with basic prices? From what I can gather he isn't planning to cook so he was also questioning about eating out like the locals and not like a tourist.
Thank you.
Rick
