Nice post Wayne,聽 I agree and add a couple words.聽 聽Yes its not聽 good / bad聽 etc.聽 聽I聽 say it does not work FOR ME.聽 But it can and will work for many others!聽 I judge based on my needs but I have no right to judge based on anyone else's needs or wants.

Today I will share my frustration..........grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.聽 聽I live in a nice neighborhood in聽 Puerto Plata but commute聽 to spend a few days a month in Santo Domingo.

Can I just say how聽 much EDENORTE does not work for me!!!!聽 Carumba聽 13.5 hours with no power!聽 And they treat me on the phone like I am some kind of moron!聽 I clearly know when the聽 electricity is out聽 its DARK, its HOT and聽 I am cranky.聽 Person today insisted the electricity was NOT OUT.聽 Seriously you cannot make this up.

And now the electricity is back and I am getting聽 my work done!聽

**I do have an inverter and batteries.聽 So I am not totally in the dark.聽 You dont run air conditioners,聽 fridge, microwave聽 etc on the inverter!聽 AND you conserve battery life by using as little as possible! 13.5 hours and I still had a fan and internet聽 running.

Thx for your kind words. I get it. What works for you may not work for me. Well said. As far as the lights,聽 I feel you. We seem to go "dark" a lot even in clear weather. And when someone negates your experience it's even more frustrating. Good luck with that. It's something we all experience here.

To all the German expats that live in the Dominican Republic, could anybody please tell me where I can buy Gew眉rzgurken. I found pretty much everything else that my heart desires, but I can't stand sweet pickles and for a good Fr盲nkischer Kartoffelsalat, at least the way I make it I need German pickles.

Thank you very much for any response.

An alle deutschen Auswanderer, die in der Dominikanischen Republik leben, k枚nnte mir bitte jemand sagen, wo ich Gew眉rzgurken kaufen kann? Ich habe so ziemlich alles gefunden, was mein Herz begehrt, aber ich kann s眉脽e Gurken nicht ausstehen und f眉r einen guten Fr盲nkischen Kartoffelsalat, zumindest so wie ich ihn mache, brauche ich deutsche Gurken.

Vielen Dank im Voraus f眉r jede Antwort.

Hola,聽 I am seriously contemplating moving to Santiago (near HOM) however am seeing internet speeds not so good. VOIP is a must for me.聽 Anyone have any idea if fiber might be in the area? Thank you聽

@cushion03yeti

If you find a place with a clear view of the northern sky, consider getting Starlink. The price for the mini, which is a portable unit, is very reasonable!

That鈥檚 a good suggestion.聽 Thanks.

@cushion03yeti

Normally Santiago is full of fiber multiple vendors. Easy to check the providers websites for fiber coverage

Thanks, that is good to know.聽

My last question-聽 is Santiago a livable city for a digital nomad?聽 I absolutely love the city as I have been in Higuey for the last year (I want outt!).聽

Santiago聽 fits me well but the adverse weather conditions (I see online) has me聽 concerned that聽 my ability to work from home (along with internet speeds) will be impacted. Will he about 8 mins from HOMS.

The latter I feel a little better about although it鈥檚 kinda hard to gauge by only visiting and staying in a hotel.聽

Thank you very much.聽

Is there anyway to get a replacement debit card sent to the DR from my home bank using mailbox etc or any other mail service? Thank you

Ask聽 your bank what they are willing to do.聽 there are lots of ways but if your bank isn't agreeable its a waste of time!

@cushion03yeti

My bank in US (Chase) overnighted my card to my Punta Cana house

Any recommendations for an electrician in Santiago? Need inverter connection in new resident. Thanks!

@cushion03yeti

assuming you have a stateside address just request card get it sent there then have someone ship card in small usps box with something else to what ever carrier you use inthe DR like EPS
