The fact that FIFA recognized and approved the DR as a host for this awesome event just shows how the country is advancing in so many areas. This creates great opportunities for young ladies, in particular, our young ladies here in the DR. Anyone who watched the last Women's World Cup would have...

Although I can't comment on this fascination by the women, someone should send Chiquito a guy and see how he likes that type of phenomenon!!!

I agree with a lot of what the writer is saying. Foreigners come here and complain about so many things and I have said to many people 'hey, if you don't like it, leave and don't come back!' This is my home, although not prefect, (perfection does not exist), I would much prefer to be living here...

Would be nice if Hyatt announced a hotel at Playa Bergantin here on the north coast. They have a Sunscape resort in Playa Dorada but it is basic hotel in comparison to some their other brands

What a great article! The DR boasts a huge collection of incredible restaurants showcasing Dominican and international dishes. I have lived in many different countries and have visited 93 different countries and the caliber of restaurants you can find here in the DR can compete with some of the...

A post for ex pats, especially from the UK, that live here in the Dominican Republic: If Thatchers English cider was available would you buy some and how many would you buy per month on average? I am in contact with a distributor that might be able to import some from the UK to the DR but I...

Cheaper than going with the ferry

Edenorte were updating the equipment the sub station in front of the Sigma factory yesterday. They reported that they were adding new equipment so that the station could handle all the new construction in the area. It went on longer than expected, as is usually the case here, but hopefully with...

Not sure if this is for foreigners with cedulas. As we all know, we have to go to a different location to get our cedulas and these are a different color. It may be possible that this is just for Dominicans and foreigners that have citizenship (as opposed to residency). It would be good if this...

I went last week and it is definitely not the same experience as you see in other countries. Although disappointed in the false advertising, for 700 pesos I really could not complain. As expected, the presentation is entirely in Spanish which is not a problem for me but for those that don't...

Dominican made pasta has nothing to do with pasta as we know it. It is not the correct flour and not pressed correctly. Unfortunately many Dominicans cook the pasta until it is so soft that it literally falls apart. Whenever I am at a place that has a buffet I always steer away from the pasta...

I agree, the prices are up there, but the quality is incredible. You can dine out for much cheaper and still enjoy a nice meal. I can just as easily go and have a burger at Rolling Steaks (numerous locations throughout Santo Domingo but I go to the one in Agora Mall for lunch) but I do like to...

I have followed Maria Martes career for several years and she is known as the Cinderella chef, rising from a pot scrubber to a two time Michelin star chef. Watching her rise through the ranks has been amazing. There are so many incredible restaurants here now, especially in Santo Domingo and the...

Don't kill it! They do so much good for the environment. We live in an area in Cabarete where we have lots of big trees and they are always in our garden. One of our cats has brought a few small ones into the house and scared the crap out of my wife, to the point where she runs out of the house...

And still nothing in the north....one highway stretches all the way along the north coast which is in pretty good condition but we have seen very little attention especially in the areas east of Puerto Plata such as Sosua and Cabarete. None of the promises came true such as the Amber Highway or...

This is something that I have always said when talking to friends about this. They get fined a 1000 pesos or so and this does not hurt them enough. You start fining them 10,000 pesos then this hurts big time. And they don't get their bikes back until they prove that the fine is paid and that the...

That is the VIP package to the truly appreciate the immersive experience...I will stick to the semi immersive experience!

I have tickets for Monday 8th. I was trying to buy tickets almost 2 weeks ago for either Saturday 6th or Sunday 7th but they were all sold out. I tried for the following weekend and they were also sold out. Looks like this will be a popular event, can't wait to see it! You can buy tickets here...

I went to Santo Domingo last year during Semana Santa and it was pure bliss, like a ghost town. There were huge traffic jams for those leaving the city at the toll and also when we were leaving the city there were huge traffic jams for those coming back to the city. The only reason we did not go...

I did the same, I had an extender but it did not work very well. I bought an Eero mesh system and the internet is perfect throughout the house.
