I agree with you! They're one of the biggest issues. They do routers and back up traffic. You're right la nunez was the best example. They had allocated a few drivers to drive the buses. They allowed the drivers to bust the windows out of the buses and still let them come out victorious after...

100% I think last year or the year before they wanted to implement car inspections here. I don't know how'd they pull it off either. Plus, the unions are very powerful. I am unsure how they'd get all of those junk public cars off the road.

I agree with with many people's arguments, that importing from Korea allowed many working and middle-class families to afford cars but they do need a solution. It's in theory too late. The same with the article that wanted to reduce the amount of motorcycles imported. The damage is already done...

One issue they could've solved was when they started importing the Korean cars. The theory was to replace the old beater public cars from the 80's and 90's. Now there's both.

Of course she didn't have the money. I just wanted to know who pulled the strings. I think the government was in a bad position since there was video and public outcry. They couldn't be lenient in the eyes of the Chinese or come down too heavy in the eyes of the Dominican people.

This is still one of the most bizarre cases I've seen in my time here.

I do agree that foreigners should be cautious of their complaints. It's ignorant to constantly complain and continue to subject yourself to things you dislike. It's very obvious we all have our issues and hold certain distaste for things, but in reality it's much better than our home countries...

Absolutely right. I am curious about the sudden crack downs. The Chinese were seemingly untouchable for some time but seems interest may be shifting. Last year when Dominicans who import light fixtures were complaining about unfair competition the government didn't bat an eye

I stopped paying attention when they did a segment on "why cold water may be bad for you" I avoid processed foods and live my life.

Some of those teachers are getting paid upwards of 90k pesos. They received a huge increase around 2016 to attract better teachers and rival most private schools (excluding the capital). I understand many of the schools are understaffed but what job is perfect?

I believe it used to be under 39 inches and less than 200 dollars you wouldn't pay taxes. At EPS, the dimensions do not matter according to the agent last time i asked. Only the price. But now, TV's aren't as expensive here as they were years ago. Unless it's some extremely crazy deal i don't...

I've had very good experiences with MOPC. To the point where I was left wondering where did they find these people. I crashed my car once near la romana. Waited with me for hours wouldn't take a penny.

I do live in the city.

It's become ridiculous and there's little accountability. Uber Eats has a threshold that each user cannot exceed when creating claims. Once you reach it, your claims are denied to "protect uber" Which to me is ridiculous if I am submitting evidence. I work from home so i utilize the service a...

Many of those that I know here who have nice cars and apartments are cash poor. People love to ask you what you pay, you're right. Someone asked me how much i paid for my jeep the other day then asked "is this your everyday car?" hahaha

I couldn't believe that they put this place in an old mall. I thought there would be rides but then i got to thinking about how the power worked here. Many new places in general put up a huge paywall and try to keep certain people out or create a certain image. That's something that i think...

Didn't suggest there was any form of discrimination or malpractice. I live on their land and play by their rules.

Happened to me after a shooting in san pedro. My friend and I fit the description (two black guys) while sitting on the malecon. It was at least 40 police officers. Not a good moment. Most of my encounters with the police have been smooth after they realize I'm American but these guys were rude.

Happened to a friend of mine too in la romana at the main park in town. She woke up on a bus. When she went to the bank to report fraud, they investigated and saw that she had withdrawn the money herself. They wouldn't do anything for her.

Dominican citizens can now apply for global entry.
