Are they still asking for tips at POP?

[Don Tomas]

Just curious, this next trip I might be bringing some new items for a friend and don't want to get hassled. Has the new government gotten rid of the greedy guys? Or can I bribe my way through still?

PS. Not carrying anything illegal but some stuff that should be taxed since it will be staying in country.

What are you bringing, I might want it and have a friend stop you.

Home all-in-one radio and possibly a microwave.

Don, for me, it's better to slip the guy $10, and they will let you go through with no checking. I'm talking about items in my luggage, so I'm not sure about the microwave. Also, I don't know if they will classify the microwave as electronics. I had a bad experience bringing down cell phones when I was a newbie. A waste of time, plus they searched all my luggage. I have the $10. ready, and when they motion me over, which they will do because I'm an American, I slip it to him, he looks at it, and I'm on my way. If they find your radio, they will want to tax it. They have to fill out a form, and they will check all your luggage; its not worth it. This was in Puerto Plata airport. I don't know how the other airports are; I would guess better since P.P. is Monger territory.

I am more then willing to slip a 10 spot, no problem. See my other post in this section. I'm curious if this is still possible or even asked for with the new government. While I wasn't there I read that there wasn't shakedowns at the airports when Leonel was last in office. That would totally suck getting busted for attempting to bribe an official.

Is there a tax on electronics brought into the country? On my next trip, I was going to bring my laptop and do some work (when I wasn't otherwise occupoied).

If there is a tax, what type of monies are we talking about?

[El Drunko]

That was funny as hell!!

[BrooklynBeas]

yeah it is funny... the reason i dont want the maid to do my laundry is because last time i did my laundry in DR it came back even more dirty then when i sent them to be cleaned... some stains that werent even there when i gave it to her... this wasnt the palace maid... it was the dolphins maid but i dont trust any of them... as long as they change my sheets im happy... and Jimmy im the furthest one from being gay on here... never had a 3some with another guy either... but uhm you kinda like that activity... hmmmmm..

Why do girls have 3 holes, think about it, so you and two buddies can all have fun at the same time.

Back to the OP some hard info:

At SDQ airport I was asked for a propino (drinking money) I just smiled and said 'no hay' and was waved through..

Suggest you try the same (and goes for you to Jay-dude).. it will work out fine
