Is it true Puerto Rican people hate Europeans? if yes, why so? if no, perfect :D
Hello, Gentlemen! I'm Puertorican and I can tell you all that there will always be some sort of racism... here in the Island or anywhere else you choose to live. There exists racism amongst some Puertoricans... meaning light skin vs. dark skin... ... Read More

Living in Guaynabo by trn
Hello. I'm new to this forum. I have found the information here quite useful. Only surprise is there seems to be a bit more polarized views on living in PR versus other expats blogs I've read. My wife and I are considering a move to PR for a few ...
Good evening, I'm Puertorican and lived in Connecticut when I was a child. For most of my professional life I've worked for US based pharmaceutical companies in PR, which means we've had a good share of expats amongst us. I can honestly say, I've ... Read More

No new members since early 2011??? by nixterman
I'm a brand new subscriber, looking to make contact with expatriates in Greece but every other expat entry is from a year or two or three ago with no communication since. Contacts that old are pretty much dead contacts. I dind't even try to reach ...
Hello, Nixterman! I have nothing to do with Greece, but out of curiosity from your post, I went into the Greece Forum. It has been quite active this week, including a couple of posts from today. You might want to start a thread over there and see ... Read More

Las Terrenas the best place to retire by dylan_10
Las Terrenas is a small village located in the Samana peninsula, one of the most beautiful and lush throughout the Dominican Republic: here are stunning beaches and bang in a sea of many colors, mostly flat because it is the only one in the 'island ...
[And the thing to remember is this, while languages are different, most people are the same everywhere and have the same "types." ] Well said, lcbrownjr! We have the same 'types' everywhere! Heck, I take extra precautions in my country, why would I ... Read More
Where to get a decent road map of the Dominican Republic..? by captsam54
Heck even the ones you get from the Car rental agencies are not correct.. I realize we have a bunch of new highways in the past year.. I have asked a lot of people. but no one really has an answer.. Most are printed by resorts etc. showing only ...
Awww, what a bad timing, Captsam54! Hope the strike issue settles down and that you are able to get gas soon so that you can make your trip pronto! We will be waiting to hear all about it! :D Read More

Thanks a lot, Captsam54! I really appreciate your feedback on Punta Cana. It seems to be a really beautiful place, but I've read people complaining on the 'real' town... life outside the gated communities. Some have said streets/areas are ... Read More
How odd is this? by Lauryburg
So I've been 'virtually' all over the Dominican Republic, looked at maps, read related books, read tons of blogs, evaluated the North Coast, East Coast, the Capital, country, gated communities, condos, villas, hospitals, schools, malls, shops, ...
Wow, Captsam54! This is a tough one... but I suggest you keep it to yourself as you already have. This guy has been friends with your boss for seven years and if you actually 'squeal', you might get the short end of the stick! Hope everything ... Read More

Hi, Davlewy! I just ran into your post and was wondering whether you are at DR already and if so, how has it been so far? I'm not an expat (yet), but I found this group of friends and 'hang out' here now (between work)! Hope everything if going ... Read More

Hi, JenniferL and BobK! I'm glad you liked my post! :idontagree: Captsam54, agree! I would have to look at the gas pump to make sure I got my money's worth... I do it hear from time to time, but almost all gas stations you have to pump your own ... Read More
