Well, this is a whole different country than it was in the 90's. I've lived here since 2001, but I came here on vacations many times before that, and I remember SD being little more than a small village at the time. Things have changed a lot since, maybe not the people, but in general there have been huge improvements.
I live here because in this country you can find whatever it is you're looking for. I believe the DR represents a fair balance between freedom and some anarchy, which means you can pretty much do as you please as long as you don't step on anybody's foot. But I guess the main reason for me to be here, is because I think living in the DR these days means watching a country develop towards good things. We are kind of used to seeing things rolling downhill in the society and economy in our countries, and this country is going up those hills (it's a struggle, not everything is good). I firmly believe that the DR, within the next 30 or 40 years, will be a like some of those asian islands that rose from nothing to be thriving economies and magnet to immigration. I hope I will already be here when people start to flock. Maybe I'm just crazy, I know...
