- Don't let people/chicas you don't know put their hands on you in the street.
- Just say 'no thanks' and walk away from anyone offering drugs in the street.

Should be common sense, but guys still get caught out there doing these things.

1. Never say Hi back to a Dominican thats shouts out in the street; Hello my Fran! Never done that, and never will...

2. Never drive a car at night between Sosua and Po Plata... Because you may hit and kill a cow on the road, or a moto concho with no lights working. I've done both.:frown:

3. Never get caught taking a non P2P women who you don't know is married to a Dominicano to a cabana..... I've done that and somehow survived.

4. Never tell a Dominican who owes you money, if he doesn't pay now than you are taking him to court..... I've done that and ended up with a hugh medical bill.

5. Never be seen anywhere with a wad of $$$ the size of a toilet paper roll. 1/2 of it will be gone paying padded drink tabs, the other 1/2 will be taken at gun point.
Never done that, and never will, but seen it several times with others in the DR :rolleyes:

You think it's an American behind these deaths?

I disagree.

This is not the work of a "nut job". It's too calculated for large scale effect.

The Dominican Republic has been taking a steadily growing share of American tourism in the region to the point that it is jeopardizing billions in investment at the more traditional destinations. They did it by being the cheapest all-around destination and luring those who can afford a vacation to go into debt for one.

Think about it. The 1st word that pops into my head when someone says Punta Cana is "Cheap". The D.R. has become the Walmart of Caribbean vacations. Why go to all the trouble to attract thousands of people with $5K to spend on a week vacation when you can attract millions with $1K to spend?

I'm just saying....the Divi investors are hating this shit...:rolleyes:

Here's the latest theory on the alcohol poisoning. The competitor to the supplier to the AI's wants to take over. They secretly sent some of their employees to work at said AI's. While there, they're to poison the mini-bar. When people die/get sick, they're hoping that the current supplier loses it's reputation so they can swoop in. Sounds believable.

Never met you but maybe DR isn't for you?:corky:

Actually for almost 11 years I had lived in the North Coast of the DR. It was my decision based on several matters non of it to do with the DR to leave. The last 3 yrs I have had 6 to 8 nice return trips, finally selling my house and now deciding its a good time to explore other destinations.

Al NYc post...I'll try to answer

As far as # 2, #3, and #4 on my DR tips for staying safe in my previous post, this is what happened.

#2. Never drive a car at night between Sosua and Po Plata... Because you may hit and kill a cow on the road, or a motoconcho with no lights working. I've done both.:frown:

A. About 13 yrs ago I traveled a lot between Sosua- P. Plata to visit my GF at night. Heading to P.Plata just b 4 the Miltary Base a farmer had several cows in those fields. One was on the main highway which not only I couldn't see, but the car from the other direction also said he couldn't see being hit. Totaled my car, didnt have to pay off the farmer because the law states at night it is the owner of the animals fault, end of story, end of car, seat belts and bags worked great!
B. Accident and death of the motoconcho. The most tragic time while living in the DR or anywhere for that matter. Just after leaving P. Plata at night, I hit a moto concho that was not riding in the moto lane, but center of the car lane with no rear lights where you past Playa Dorado heading up Star Hill climb. All I will say is that I took him to hospital ASAP, he died the following day in Bournagal, and between my contacts, police, an agreement of payment was made to the family. This is the worst experience in my life that a man lost his life which I was directly involved with, and that his family will never see or speak to him again. I can't write anymore about this with the pain I always have with me, however I know not as much pain as his family feels each day though.

#3. Never get caught taking a non P2P women who you don't know is married to a Dominicano to a cabana..... I've done that and somehow survived.

Pretty simple, picked up a local who was waiting for a publico, offered her a ride to P. Plata where she was attending university classes. We spoke about many things and when I offered to give her a ride back to house she agreed. We met after her classes and and had a few Presidentes first at a bar before heading back. As we were leaving and agreed to go to a cabana just outside of P. Plata a male approaches the both of us with this crazy look on his face. He ( I find out its her primo) doesn't speak english, but what I could understand someone in the bar contacted him knowing she was family. She then tells me all, and I tell the guy I know nothing about her having a husband, he grabs her and off they go, I live for another day.

#4. Never tell a Dominican who owes you money, if he doesn't pay now than you are taking him to court..... I've done that and ended up with a hugh medical bill.

Crazy as it sounds for a gringo, I lent an amount to a Dominican to pay off his property that was paying a crazy interest rate and was going to lose his house for non payment. I knew him for 5 years as a hard worker who had many gringo customers,his own business, and was a goid family man. So I had my lawyers draw up the repayment plans at a much lower but acceptable rate. First 5 months, all payments made. Christmas comes and no direct payment in Jan. I'm off island until March or April and still no payment in the following months. I contact him several times from oversees and the story keeps changing. Fast forward my return and meeting him at another customers house and confront him. He goes absolutely crazy like looking for an object to hit me as he kept saying I was embarrassing him in front of his customer who I knew very well. I leave after telling him I'm going to my lawyer to start sueing him. I should not have told him what I was doing, he contacts someone and just as I am getting out of the car, bam across the back of shoulder and head I am hit with a solid 2 by 4 or something like that ( no witnesses :mad:) . I am taken to CMC in Cabarete and with a cuccussion, fracture shoulder I am in the hospital for 4 day. As I just returned to the DR my insurance payment was never tranfered online as I made it oversees at the end of Dec, health insurance was cancelled, time for CC and Banca Santa Cruz.:mad: Several weeks later my laywer is talking with the police, no witnesses, nothing canbe done. After several more months I finially start getting partial payment as my lawyer is involved in dealing with this guy 100 %. In the end I know I will lose a large portion of the orginal potential value of the loan when you way out the lawyer, and medical bill, but $$ I can replace in time.

Even with just these stated 5 rules, my time was spent very safe concidering the many locals I knew, as well as I never dressed like a tourist or drank much before driving. I did stat taking it for granted that between those two place on the road, there was no light poles, others driving with high beams, pot hole hell, and lets not remind some gringo who always gets car jacked.

Thanks for sharing

2. I used to drive between Sosua and Puerto Plata almost 3-5 times a week when I was still hooked on Sosua but living in Puerto Plata. I can't count how many cows and horses I dodged in the middle of the night and the motos without lights. I consider myself to be quite fortunate I have never had an accident with either.

I count myself fortunate that I have not experienced what you have. Had I had to go through all that it might have discouraged me from living here.

3. I have never done this, I can only imagine what you thought when you realized what was happening.

4. I have learned the hard way a loan to most Dominicans is really a gift that I shouldn't expect to be paid back.

Thanks again for sharing!

I hit a cow on that POP to Sosua route about 3 in the morning. Lucky for me I hit the thing in the mid-section and the airbags didn't go off. The way it happened I think it would have been worst if the bags went off and I would have been stranded 10 miles from Sosua in the middle of the morning. I drove the car on to my apartment. Car was covered with the contents of the things stomach. Didn't know if the cow was alive or dead. When I took the car in for the police report required by the rental car insurance the cops had a ball roasting my ass. Ended up with $6,000 worth of damage most of which was paid by my credit car company.

I don't seek out married women, but those girls come out to the casinos and after-hour spots. I've gotten involved with a couple that I didn't know were married until I saw them in the streets with their husband and kids. Lots of lonely women there who are open to a tryst. It's definitely something you need to me extremely careful about.

I've loaned money a couple of times to Dominicans. I picked up real fast that their pride was easily inflamed if you badgered them about repaying. As Cam said, it's not a loan it's a gift. I now simply cry broke when asked.

Not just in a 3rd World country. Studies show that 2/3 of loans to family and friends are never repaid in Canada and the US as well.

I was told early on that I would be wise to consider any loan to such to be a gift, and regard any repayment as a pleasant surprise. I ignored this of course, and have had to learn the hard way. I forget who said it, but "if you lend money to a friend, you will lose both money and friend".

On the other hand, when there is someone you can't stand, $100 might be a small price to never have to deal with that person again.

Wow!! You’ve lived through several potential life changing incidents. You’re experiences should be a warning to every tourists and expats in DR.

this experience is a warning to everyone everywhere. Never lend anyone money unless your ok not getting paid back. Family and friends become enemies the minute your relationship changes from equals to debtor and debtee.

People begin to resent/hate those they owe money to and they’ll convince themselves it’s them that’s in the right and that your being greedy or selfish because your richer (or don’t deserve your wealth as much as they do) so you should have given it to them.

when people ask me for money I usually say no or I ask them to do something for me first in return. Most are too lazy or self centered to do stuff for the money or we’re just looking for a handout with no strings.
