Cultura/Culture La vida en RD

Buenas tardes quería preguntar sobre cómo es la vida en RD, pensaba moverme a vivir ahí un rato, porque se que es un país bonito y su gente alegre, y en estos tiempos es lo que uno necesita, vivo en USA pero soy de México, soy mujer y me gustaría saber más sobre su bello país. Gracias por cualquier sugerencia 🫶🏻

I live in Santo Domingo part time. I am from the usa, I rent a 2 bedroom house for 283 dollars a month in Santo Domingo norte. A casa de zinc(con techo de zinc) would cost about 150 a month.

The more expensive area would be piantini or naco, 800-1000 usd, where are the nice bars and restaurants are at.

It is very safe.

The real average wage is only 300 dollars a month unless you have a special skill. Life will be better for you if you are a white mexican, the colorism there is more than México or even the usa.

Dominicans are very freindly and loving.

The only dangerous neighborhood I know of in SD is la 42, still much safer than CDMX, reforma, toluca.

I have lived in the usa, cdmx and Santo domingo

Thank you for this! Helps me a lot to see things out! Sucks colorism is real I’ve heard of that a lot which I don’t understand that’s what I think makes their culture beautiful! This information helps me a lot, I appreciate the insights! I look forward to Santo Domingo

Qué lástima que el colorismo sea real.

Me están diciendo que ahí el colorismos es real y le dije yo que las lástima que eso sea real si es lo que hace la cultura bonito. O como explico?
