The blue ink thing really threw me because I'm a lawyer and I've never come across that requirement in my practice. In fact, back in the day there was a requirement that all signatures on legal documents must be in black ink - but those ... Read More

Mistakes expats make in Dominican Republic by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Did you make any mistakes when you first moved to Dominican Republic? What were they? How did you address your mistakes? Did you learn anything from them? With hindsight, what would you do differently? Are there any tips ...
What a great topic! I have to sit down and read (and reread) all of the threads about moving and starting a new life in the Dominican as I am 99% committed to the move now. With my house sold and closing in June I need to pull things together for a ... Read More

Thanks! I will take a look at the International Garden Kids School. I believe I did communicate with the International School of Sosua and the tuition is more than I could afford. The O & M Hostas School seems like a great school and the ... Read More
