Your right; I was feeling a little Dr withdrawal , and lashed out a bit. To my defense, I was as far from the DR as you could be at that time(Hong Kong) and Mr. Doms, pics triggered a state of nostalgia, that brought me back to my country for a hot second, but it also brought back the reasons why someone like me can‘t make the DR my permanent home. Sorry again for my melancholiness on this subject, didn’t mean to rain on MR. Dom parade or yours.

Laurato you imagine what would be the conditions in DR without this boom in the real estate sector............. I will resume it to you with one simple word..... Trouble.

Trouble for the big fish, maybe (which would then have to look for other sources with which to launder their money), but for the little guy on the street things would remain the same as ever. You can't deny the fact that the majority of the workforce in the construction sector is composed chiefly by inmigrants, which are exploited to the extreme by the consortiums, which, once the quincena looms on the horizon, call la camiona in order to rid themselves of potential troublemakers.

Lautaro, you hit the nail. I guess ur thinking like the asians, thinking about what may happen in the long run. I believe that there will come a time that few dominicans will be able to enjoy the beauty of DR. What is ur your take on what may happen a decade from now with DR? Will it become the future bahamas or bermuda of the carribean, with a good economy diversifying itself into the financial industry.

I know what you mean. It must be awful for someone as uber-prepared as yourself to know the fact that you can't come back to your country just because it's hell bent on remaining a paradise for cheap, unskilled labour, or, as I like to call it this days, a glorified plantation, XXI century style. That's the very same reason why I can't share in the enthusiasm of Dom and others even if my life depended on it, because this very same economic model is the one pushing our compatriots to take the yolas every day, due to the fact of their unwillingness to enslave themselves to the miserable wages currently pervading the construction sector and others in our economy.
