It comes down to eothert you adapt or you do not the DR is not going to change for you you have to change to make it! In saying that I do not see things getting better here mind you i had 24 houres electricity here at my house all weekend I thought it was Xmas but its gone now foe how long who knows? I see the impact of the quantity of drug money flowing in this country making barrio boys into hard core gun toting gansters with nothing too lose and in the and this is what imho will destroy what little reputation the DR has there is just too much money in the drug trade here and if you got the balls you can make money very fast and lots of it !!! Yes I still love the country and want to build a house here one day but as for making any real money here I do not think so Ill gladly go back home or anywhere else in the world work for 6 months or more and come back to me thats the only way I see to make it here. I have never been in a country where I distrust the police as much as I do here I can handle gansters and thugs on the steet but the police here have power that imo is something you can not overcome and no amount of new vehicles or uniforms or new recruits will fix this. We will see what the future has in store for the country but i have adapted and i am content but I too will be moving on soon but just to work and make real money.
