Moving to San Juan in September by chucknevers
..
There is a decidedly anti-gringo attitude here. I disagree with the earlier commend about 3%. I would say is closer to 60 0r 70% despite how they vote. This is a culture of cliques, and if you aren't from the neighborhut or island, then you are ... Read More

I don't know what happened to the post that was here before that a friend kindly emailed to me, about problems with the police in San Juan. It seems to have been erased. For what it's worth, I have also had less than optimal responses from the ... Read More
