When GouletColonial, Dreadlocks, JabaoHaitiano, JemeSouviens, Lautaro, and Cibaeno made up a majority of the posts. Due to some back and forth trash talking from both sides, I felt it was better to save my remaining brain cells and start reading books. In terms of DR, I would prefer to look at the campos and the rural villages. Im not a big fan of Santo Domingo or the other big cities, which this site has a lot of pictures of. I would like to see the villages or campos of DR with culture and nature. Edited on 10/20/2009 10:07 AM by Anonymous. |

I would only hope they get civilized, but after reading some posts, I realized that there's still room for an improvement. Im sure eventually when both countries climb out of the 3rd world country status, there will be civilized. That is the day I hope I get to see, where haitians and dominicans are on the same platform of success, and looking to dominate the Carribean. I can't lie there are things about both countries I like. From the lovely bay of Jacmel, to the mountain town of Jarabacoa. They are similar yet different all at once, lol. Anyways, who are you Blutarsky, is this the old GouletColonial, Jabao, etc? Edited on 10/20/2009 12:08 PM by Anonymous. |

Thanks for the great insight into the hidden jewels that your country has to offer to its people and the world. The visuals are very stimulating and you can only imagine how these places can be used for the betterment of Haiti. The church in Baradaires gives us a pretty good idea to visualize a central park or plaza in front of it with nice big trees and gardens, as well as replicas of colonial buildings that could be used for shops, restaurants and boutique hotels. The sorrounding green hills could be best utilized for ecotourism tours and adventures. The southern coast seems to be a great place to relaunch your tourism industry, hopefully with environmental sustainability in mind. |
