Dominican Republic The Great Vacation

For a retirement destination it can be dodgy as the economy is extraordinarily unbalanced and the greenbacks yo yo has left American products at ten times the their prices in the United States.When the greenback started going up from about nineteen to one to 57 to one you might see the merchants in the stores and supermarkets raising there prices each 5 minutes. But when the dollar dropped from 57 back to twenty-seven to one the stores owners failed to notice and just sat in there offices and neglected to lower the costs. The Dominican folks are close to starving to death due to the costs of food in the stores.


Which also is equivalent to very high costs for somebody holidaying in dollars or living in bucks in the Dominican Republic.

The traveller can get round the gastly costs by simply staying in a comprehensive resourt. I had a stomach ache after eating my fave peanut butter and fried banana sandwhich and went to get a bottle of Pepto Bismol that cost $1.98 back home and I had to pay $15 greenbacks.

That gives you an idea of how costs are set. For a bachelor looking out for a squeeze or spouse, there's no place better. The Dominican Republic has many available attractive girls. And I'm not saying pretty gently. The Dominican Republic holds the crown for Miss Universe. Amelia Vega was crowned Miss Universe in 2003. To circumvent the wrong girl again the bachelor looking for that extra special girl wishes that special tour guide who is also a pro marriage broker. These gorgeous girls are widely available but you've got to know where to go looking for them. Again you must have the right professional guide for the job. See the resource area mentioned below. Getting around. You'll need the army version of the Humvee. I could not imagine any worse roads in the globe. You can go into the most wonderful areas in the Dominican Republic where their loaded live and you'll find mud roads with deep holes in the roads. The rich have no respect for their communities. Trash, Dominicans are not cheerful if they do not have some trash in the street. Even in the most exclusive areas. The people. The nicest folk in the world. They're kind, friendly and gorgeous folks. They appear to like Americans.They have an American raised and educated President. He was born in the Dominican Republic but raised and educated in NY. Safety, in my viewpoint one of the safest countries on earth. Less violence against their own folks and travellers than most places you may wish to holiday or retire. Theft issues. They'll pinch your shirt off your back if your not looking. Nonetheless little armed theft. Again it is a terribly safe country if you use common-sense as to where you go. Bank safety. The govt. appears to be more honorable than most nations. When A local banker robbed 2.5 bill bucks from a local bank the govt stood behind the bank and paid back the cash, but in pesos. You would not get your cash back if a U.S or Western Country banker nicked that much money. Corruption. The banker robbed 2.5 billion and walked away as free as a bird. He's flying around in his 'copters and cruising in one of his personal yahts in the French Riviera at the moment.

While the poor folk can't even purchase a green banana to eat. Why? That is the Dominican system. If your going to steal... Filch giant. You can walk away as free as a bird. Swipe a Papaya and you might be gunned down in the street. Both events really occurred in the Dominican Republic. Moral of the tale. Thieve 2.5 bn. dallars and you walk. Pinch a papaya and you may be shot dead. You should buy your way out of anything in the Dominican Republic with 2.5 bln dollars. But if you do not have one hundred pesos for the papaya you might be in difficulty. But let us take a look at the over all picture. Would I would recommend the Dominican Republic for retirement or a holiday. You bet your life I'd. I like it. I am probably a fifty six year old bachelor and the younger women think I'm Elvis Presley come back to life. Frankly I have a stong resemblence and my name is Elvis and I was born in Mississippi and I later lived in Menphis. Nonetheless if you bachelors do not know where to keep an eye out for the nice girls you can and will go back home empty handed without your Miss Universe.

I could not most likely pick one wife out of all of these beautiful ladies so I decicided to keep just keep them all for myself. But one day my holiday will come to a close and I am going to take my Miss Universe bride home to live in Graceland. I am coming home. The King. Elvis King. Since I can not write songs any more I chose to write articles. Elvis.
