Hello ExpatExchange.com Members!

One area of interest for many expatriates is the need for assistance in
settling in and the management of culture shock. In order to identify
the information most needed by expats as they adapt to international
living, we'd like to know the biggest hurdles you faced in the process
of moving overseas.

Please help us in this project by answering these few questions:

When you moved to Dominican Republic, what was the most difficult part of settling
in there?

How much difficulty did you have with culture shock in Dominican Republic?

What would be the best, single piece of advice you'd give to an expat
(or soon to be expat) in Dominican Republic?

The DR has long been a destination for sex tourism so if you go to one of the beach resort areas you are going to see a lot of this and be approached by a lot of people for this.

If you are interested in this, you are never going to be accepted by any of the respectable Dominicans who live here.

Although life in the beach areas may appeal to many from the outside, know that some of the towns are more expensive.
