Wrong thread Grey...this is Boca :p
There are so many....how's a guy supposed to keep track of all that Punani???
So, back on subject...where can I get a 1br apartment, full kitchen in Boca Chica for $20? I love the fact that BC is easy to the beach and easy to the action and easy to the airport but airfares there are taxed to the point of ridicule. The taxis try to charge more for the little 4 mile ride to BC ($25) than a 12 mile, hour long trip to downtown Nairobi from NBO in rush hour traffic ($20).
I have chosen Boca Chica many times just for the convenience but the government has it's hands so far into the pockets of tourists that the "long weekend trip" is becoming a thing of the past. It's difficult to get a reasonable flight to SDQ for under $500 now when a dozen years ago it was a $300 fare. That same 12 years ago it was difficult to get a fare to Nairobi for under $1,800 and now $680 - $750 is the norm.
12 years ago there was an unlimited supply of Dominican restaurants, serving real Dominican food all over Santo Domingo for $5-$6 a plate but now it's Italian, German, American and French food, fast food franchises and shit charging twice that and more. That's the same shit that moved me past Aruba and Sint Maarten. Let's don't even talk about the price of Pum-Pum, it's depressing. I have lain with Angels in Santo Domingo for $30 in the past. Now everyone wants to get rich, right now. Don't get me wrong, there are still great deals, they are just a whole lot fewer and further between.
When I choose the D.R. it's because I get to spend a little time with friends whom I don't get to see very often more than any other reason.
