the added bonus, for canadians, is that our $$$ is getting stronger against the USD so we get even MORE cambio!! :wav:

The north coast tourism from the USA is almost not there. Playa Dorado does not even advertise packages in the States. The Travel section in the major US papers are pushing Punta Cana where people stay in the resorts run by foreign countries. The Dr gets the taxes but they are paid in pesos. Gasoline and building materials are a big import and are paid for in US cash or the Euro. In a previous thread someone stated that the banks were full of US cash. I doubt that very much. When the street price falls below the international trading price like it is doing now it means the government is controlling the in country exchange rate but the market knows that and is hedging on a raise in pesos to the dollar. Last January the peso was going for almost 1 peso over the international exchange rate on the street. Now it is going for about 1 peso on the street below the international exchange rate. It was also stated that businesses are expanding and reinvesting into their businesses in anticipation of CAFTA. If they are expanding most of the building supplies are being imported. I know the DR does a good amount of trade with Asia but i believe they would perfer the dollar over the DR peso. As the dollar weakens in the world market the DR will need more to deal with non US trade partners. The DR needs the Ben Franklins and the peso will creep towards 35 to 37 where most economist say it should be. I do not see this by x-mass but i seee it by May. If i am wrong i will buy anyone with over 200 post a beer in May. If i am on the money then it will only cost you a buck to buy me a beer. Looks like a win-win situation.

look for yourselves...

You Canucks are raping the USA on the price of wood. Cost me $106 for a square of rebutted/rejoined Red Cedar shingles last week. Also 80% of our natural gas comes from Molson country. NAFTA is finally coming back to fuck us. And what is up with this i am not allowed in Canada bullshit just because i got a drug charge from 15 years ago. I got a camp in Newport, Vermont on the Derby line and can not legally get into the Great White North. I got to walk the lake to get my Cuban Cigars. The only reason people go to Canada is that the drinking age is 18 and the legal age of consent is 14, Cuban cigars are cheap, Molson got better, fireworks are legal, Montreal has awesome strip clubs with strippers from McGill University, possession of under an ounce is legal, great hydro weed, and an influx of Asian whores. Did i miss anything?

I was bustin balls but i guess i was close. I love Canada for i grew up on the border and Bobby Orrs mother had a summer home about a mile away on Lake Memphoragog (sp). I remember watching Bozo the Clown in French. Getting a ride to school on a snowmobile, fresh boiled maple syrup, and the fucking moose my father hit on RT 91 that almost killed us.

[Apos]

there's much to love about both our great counrties....we're so similar yet so different it's not even funny!...very amusing sometimes though! we even hate ourselves sometimes...take the french....please...for example.

Quebec sucks cock in hell. I go to Old Orchard Beach every 4th of July and there are many fat Qubec dudes in banana hamocks that had my 10 year old niece wondering: quote: " Why is that man wearing womens underwear to the beach uncle Jimbo ". I fucking cried laughing for about 20 minutes.

[Apos]

in the DR it's mostly the italians and germans...i hope YOU don't wear women's underwear to the beach! alone in your home is fine i guess :D

Foreign exchange rate on the rise - DR1

Yesterday, the US dollar was selling between 25 and 50 cents higher than the day before and closed at RD$33.75 and RD$34.00. Listin Diario reports that the purchasing price closed at RD$33.30 and RD$33.40 per US$1.00. According to the Dominican Association of Foreign Exchange Remittance Companies, no one has been able to explain the increase in the rate. Neither can foreign exchange agents who, however, do not discard the possibility of speculation. Commercial banks closed the sale of US dollars at RD$33.70 and the purchase at RD$32.94 to one.
For updates on the exchange rate, check the last post at this thread on the DR1 Forum, http://dr1.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26541

i dont think you will see that rate again.. those days are gone !! dominican community abroad been talking about the rate going up for awhile now and it been said that it will go up to at least 37 to 1 by the new year.. although we been dealin with an artificial rate anyway so its not really going up its going back to what it really is..

[moshy2k]

I would be happy with 40 - 1 .

I guess this a good reason to either exchange dollars for pesos and do all transactions based on pesos whenever possible.

I know I got issues........I'm almost getting as bad as moshy2k. I may be down there in december I got a couple of non-putas I'm hooking up with from santiago and santo domingo. I'm getting addicted to GFE and non-putas. The amount of talent outside of sosua is unbelieveable you must check it out. Anyhow I'll probably be there near or at the end of your february trip, as soon as the superbowl activites here in detroit are over after february 6th.
