    1 in 4 Dominicans think it’s OK to beat their wife

    "1 in 4 Dominicans think it’s OK to beat their wife"? So provocative! The article doesn't say that! Actually, it says the opposite, that 26% "don't approve" of such behavior.

    Finally Moving to DR

    Ah, the semantic debate rears its ugly head yet once again. The website for Migración repeatedly refers to this "fine" only as a tasa por exceso de estadia.

    Still on the menu at BK in Puerto Plata. Eat them occasionally in Santiago. Even my Dominican friends like them. I have more of a problem with the rapidly rising costs of any restaurant food. Not sure how you calculated the price difference. The Whopper Combo is 365 and the Veggie Combo 400...

Actually, the food was pretty good, too.) and Juan was...
