You and your husband should continue doing these collaborations, they are so informative. Continue doing what you do.
Real Talk 💯
Thank you. We plan to more of these.
Nice video! It's true more Dominicans speak English than you think at first 😄
You’ll need to do a matchmaking service.. you two are so in sync it’s just beautiful and effortless. You guys have actually convinced me that finding a wife in the DR is a 90% possibility for me.
It's possible despite what other people say. Matchmaking?😱😅
@@NorberisRHolaa Norberis Como Estas Me Encanta Tu Programa Y Tus Videos
Gracias
@@NorberisR De Nada Preciosa Soy Tu fan
@@NorberisRDefinitely, do a matchmaking thing. Or a night out for singles.🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Naco and Piantini are the more affluent areas.
I’m Dominican born and raised and honestly if I go back I would live in the east side of santo Domingo ,(santo a Domingo este ) is greener than the district area and less populated
Yes, Santo Domingo Este is a nice area too.
Distrito Nacional is tha best for me!!!
Makes me feel like home (Miami)
Thank you for dropping that information on the restaurants and places to go to. I love the pantini area. Always stay in the central park towers
Our pleasure!🇩🇴❤️
I had the Churrasco at Mr. Grill a couple weeks ago and i was impressed, it was perfect 🥰 😋
We will have to try that. My husband loves steak.
Norberis you & your Hunny the best make peace be still sister🙏🏾
I've stayed in the majority la zonas in Santo Domingo each area was great with an abundance of options of things to do, restaurants, stores etc. The few cons i have would be the power outages that take place periodically and the traffic particularly in the Distrito Nacional area which gave me PTSD.😫 But in all i love the city, the people, vibes and everything else it has to offer.🇩🇴🔥❤️
😂🤣
Thanks Norberis, nice video, very good information about all those places. Both should do more videos together, are very good team.
Thank you, we will.
I like the more upscale areas as well. Piantini, Naco, Casicasgos, Gasque, Millon, Los Prados, Arroyo Hondo.
Love your background music :)
Thank you!🤗🤎
You guys make videos that are always on point!!!!, I'm more of a Bella Vista guy because I like the vibe of that sector but like your husband said, you can't go wrong with Naco and Piantini for hanging out. I meet people there, EVERYWHERE, specially at the gym or walking at the Mirador Sur. Tell your husband he looks like Rod Strickland, he'll know who that is lol.
We like the Bella Vista area too. It's also convenient and not congested as the Naco and Piantini area. My husband said when ln was younger he remembers someone telling him that.😅
SOOO many restaurants. I have not had a bad meal. Some of the best food ever!
Great information
Glad it was helpful!
I think having a routine after you make the move is the important part. My parents retired there and they have already bought their home and land- so bills is mostly groceries, utilities, car bills and a small budget to go out of their neighborhood for trips. Is a wishful thinking for people like me who’s not there yet (age or money to be retire) as far as Wa Wa or Poppi- i move like a wa wa with poppi budget. 4:12
It better to move like that, most do the opposite...😅😂
My mother is from Santo Domingo Norte in Villa Mella.
Super helpful video!! Keep it up! I'll be there in a couple weeks and this was right on time!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
You're welcome. So you're finally making your trip to DR. What part of the island are you visiting?
Man the next time I come I must link up with you guys!
I feel like I was conversing with you guys. (VERY INFORMATIVE). You have discussed some key issues in lifestyles. You covered variety of social class to merge and/or fit -in. One of the best show for the year. James, how did you adjust with southern lifestyle in Alabama to a fast/furious, uplift lifestyle in Dominican Republic. I am working on that transition. Not yet decided. Grew up in Brooklyn, NY, I like the similarities. God Bless.
This is my husband's answer "it was easy for me to transition because I had been traveling here for here for 12 years so I understood the culture and how things worked. That made it very easy for me".
@9:40 totally agree 10000 percent!!!!!
I’m currently living between Winston Churchill and Sarasota Ave. Thoughts? Great vid
Very nice area. Sounds like you are in the La Julia/Bella Vista area
Santo Domingo really has some good food... 👌🏾
Really enjoy this video as usual. I could not wait to leave work; so I can watch it. Your so right about the fact that Dominicans are really sociable people. They will converse with you like both of you know each other for years. But Norberis your correct that us as English speakers are afraid to start a conversation. I am guilty of that a few times; only to realize that , that person speaks English. 😄😄😄. So far I have only experience a small fraction of the DR; but I would not give it up for no other place in the world. Except Jamaica of course, and that’s debatable 😄😄😄. Love the video for real. I hope you guys will do more videos like these.
Thank you. We are glad you enjoyed it.
Piantini is the best
Capotillo y Villa altagracia, La Duarte, Villa Mella are also highly recommended 😂 just kidding
😁
You guys are very helpful as well
Thank you
Just from the raw video … thank you for the detailed information. Not to many people show raw video edits 💯💯💯
Chocked FULL of information for the curious minded folks like me. The cigars spots 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thank you …I hope they have Brother James’ beverage of choice 🎉
You're welcome.
Thank you guys!
You're welcome ❤️🙏🏾🇩🇴
@@NorberisR❤
Nice content guys and good info..
Thanks for watching🙏🏾🇩🇴❤️
Scare him again @Norberis 😂😂
🤣😂
As someone who left as a young child and remember when it was affordable to live in a nice place in the DR, but now I’m approaching retirement, I couldn’t afford to live in DR just sort of a how I live now because the DR cost of living is as much is living in the US..my choice would be to eat good Dominican food not those restaurants to me the expensive high class restaurants don’t give me that taste I am looking forward to enjoy in Dominican Republic.. great video and info thank you guys..
You're welcome.
Ese leyenda se ve bueno!!
Siii🇩🇴🤗
The brother looks like the same dude from the All Wings Everything channel. I have no idea if that's him. If it isn't then thats one helluva striking resemblance.
It’s him
@@nevonthedaily Wowww... He truly came up.
My husband said to tell you he was always up, you're just finding out about it😅. And he appreciates you supporting both channels.
@@p-jaywade1333 that’s what happen when you stay grinding and know what you want in life
@@NorberisR Yeah, he's right. It's been a hot minute since I've checked his channel. I just remembered his face. That's alright, though. Gonna be checking for both channels a lot more now. 👍👍👍
Everybody doesn't live in Los Angeles with a Mexican maid. Therefore I have been waiting for this subject, the lifestyle. Because a lot of us in US barely have time besides work. Their life is their workplace. And in Santo Domingo we can have a balance life. This is not the culture when you own without the lifestyle. This is reverse side of the coin. Gracias !
One of the reasons we moved back here. We weren't enjoying life as we should.
How about a topic for places to get married and or propose at?
I'm a big coffee person. Outside of Starbucks, what is the coffee culture like in Santo Domingo. Coffee shops/bar??
The coffee culture is bigger than the US. It's coffee shops everywhere.
I love my Santo Domingo Este
Lol. We are over there Saturday. It nice in that area.
'Preciate ya'll family 👍🏿💯✈️
Thanks 🙏🏾
Can't wait to laugh with you both, you pick the location Lol... #Hotep
Lol..will do❤️🇩🇴
Thanks for sharing!!! Very informative
You're welcome 🇩🇴
I like your husband he is real!! Let's not sugarcoat attitude that's what we need to hear!! I would love to connect with you all next month
Yes send me an email a few days before your arrival to keep us posted. norberis@norberisr.com
I will thanks and keep up the great job you all are doing!!!
What about working and starting out fresh! I Speak spanish y soy boricua and need help😢
Are asking about getting a job here?
I plan on saving up until next summer to live in DR for a year or two. However, I make good money here in the US.. how would it be changing jobs and the income, trying to find a job in the DR? i do plan on the 800 dollar gated or just something mini luxurious and SAFE.. could i make the switch of jobs.. or should i save and pay a good 6 months of rent from the money I saved and then find a job there? Is the jobs hard really hard to find as well?
You don't want to come here and work unless it's something you really want to do. They don't pay much. Call center jobs are very easy to find here.
Also i wonder, did your husband learn spanish? how long did it take as well?
No he hasn't completely learned the language as of yet.
Glad for the decision to slightly go off script and mention realistically about the unrealistic $500 apartment budget that's furnished in a gated community and/or other amenities. Since foreign investment developers have been allowed to buy property for community development, those 1970 - 1999 prices are long gone because of the cost of materials and location. Labor is cheap, you just have to be on site as an overseer or you'll fall behind your deadline.
Very true.
are they there in Naco and Piantini
This is my husband's response, "yesssiirr they are all over this area".
in the cigar bar I knew that was going to be his response when you asked him why did he like Santo Domingo. I laughed when he answered they are here. you guys work well together
How do you all feel about the Zona Colonial area?
I plan to semi retire there for like 3 weeks out of the month. Is it better to lease or buy?
As a foreigner Zona Colonial is a nice area to start out to get a feel of the country. Depending on your objective I believe buying is better.
Smile more !!! I know you are happy lol. Out takes hahahaha
Lol...I know. I need to have better camera presence when I'm not talking 😉😅
Can you give me the location/address of the sports bar🍸 that your husband mentioned?
The one he mentioned in the video is call Mariju it's on Gustavo Mejia Ricart. But we recorded that video over a month ago and he has been to another he like called Pal Play sports bar it's on Tiradentes
@@NorberisR Thank you very much.
@@lesliewalker4178 you're welcome.
Best drinks???
Not sure what you are asking but my husband like Leyenda.
@@NorberisR I've been trying to find Leyenda in states every since I've seen him drinking it
I've never seen Leyenda in the States. Might have to wait until you visit DR.
Does your husband speak or learning Spanish?
No he doesn't speak but he's been picking it up little by little.
How does the average Dominican woman compare to the average American women in regards to fitness, attitude, priorities, etc.
That's a good question, however being Dominican woman I can't really say. I'll let the men give their opinion based on their experience.
@@NorberisR your husband could probably answer
