europeans have the luxury of one month to 5 weeks of vacation.  thus, the opportunity to find a wife is better than the US with our measly 2 weeks.  as you know Ralph, the Euros like the dark women.  

these guys don't use agencies as far as I know for the most part.  the MOB is more targeted towards the American man where time is of the essence.

I wound up trading O.T. for comp-time. The couple of times I did stay at Latin-Love, there were several Europeans staying there. Most came from Germany & Holland. The Germans have quite a presence in Cali, with their Embassy located there. Yes, most of these fellows preferred the tan & darker ladies. None of them tried to Salsa...LOL! A couple of the Euro's pulled me to the side & asked my opinion on some of the difficulties in a interacial relationships. I told them, that's something they should have considered before coming & dating these ladies.

Peace..Hoda

Some of what you say is true. Many Europeans do use agencies though. I am jealous of the 5 weeks vacation time.

I was travelling quite a bit for work, including weekends and such, so they were quite understanding when I needed a brief vacation every month!

I went to the DR 14 times last year. Usually for only 3-5 days, but some for longer. This year I went once to pick up some documents from the Consulate.

We'll have to find a new vacation spot for a while.

hey man,

can i ask what took you tom the d.r. 14 times in one year? i have been there once for 10 days with a former girlfriend(american, this one), and i liked the country, but i was not overwhelmed by the place.

personally, i prefer cuba, even with all the b.s. travel restrictions. i just think that it is a much more beautiful country, but maybe i'm missing something about the d.r.

i checked your profile and saw that you live in san antonio. good food in that town. i was there about a year ago with another girl (argentine, that one) and we had a real nice time... but it's a long way to travel to the d.r. from texas for that many weekend trips!!! what drew you there?

i'm in south fla. it's not like this is such a great place to live, but the proximity and ease of travel to l.a. is a lot to give up. everything is just a short flight away. also, lots of latinas and european babes right here in town. tuff to give up!

anyway, any info on special stuff about the d.r. would be appreciated.

thanks, bret

Well, first of all I lived in NY at the time so the DR was very easy to get to. Very convenient even for short trips.

I started out going once every 6-8 weeks. My friend was also traveling there  a bunch and his GF lived there, so I had friends there.

The 14 times last year was after I met my wife. I wnet down at least once a month then.

If I had lived in San Antonio back then, it would have certainly been less frequently. I got a promotion at work, and moved to SA. I like it here as well.

If you have any specific DR questions, feel free to ask!

... in response to why DR 14 times?, posted by Ralph on May 15, 2001

Hi Ralph,

As I have some of my five weeks to use up (I feel sorry for all you guys from the US !!! )  I'm thinking of possibly going to DR this August, September just to relax travel around a bit ,speak some Spanish , partake in the local brew and if I meet a few girls then great !

Is this a good time to go ? Do Dominicans have an accent to their Spanish ? (I remember in peru I had some problems understanding )

Any hints or tips greatly appreciated !

Cheers

dominican Spanish is fast and some letters are cuttoff or not pronounced especially the "s" and "d"

gracias becomes gracia

terminado becomes termina'o   apagada  apaga'a

the "tu" form is probably much more frequent than in Colombia.

the Colonial area of SD is gorgeous.  Cabarete is a nice beach.  the area from Barahona towards Haiti is beautiful although somewhat isolated.  Samana' is beautiful.

Punta Cana is a great resort but only would recommend it if you took someone with you.  

Sosua and Boca Chica have nice beaches but they are very touristy and somewhat seedy needless to say.  Boca has a better beach and is close to the capital.

Man, when I worked with the Marielitos, we had interpreters (mostly native Spanish speakers, but a few of us 'learned in college' types) from Texas to Argentina and all points in between. We could make the Cubans understand us, but only the Puerto Ricans could understand the Cubans, at least not without telling them 'slow down and quit SHOUTING'

Traveler - believe me I am far from being an expert on Spanish in Colombia, but I believe the "tú" form is used pretty frequently in Colombia.  At least that is my experience.  

I have one very good teacher from Argentina, an older woman who almost exlusively uses the "usted" form.
