the Dominican Republic one of the most beautiful destinations for vacationing, socializing, the Dominican even if he does not know your name treats you like a brother his very friendly people fun make you feel at home stress is not known by the most beautiful beaches and landscapes his gastronomy It is delicious, there are very normal people, there is crime, and there are dangers worldwide, there is always someone with bad intentions, just like in the USA, Europe and the world, but in the Dominican Republic you live real life and you really feel that you are free. God bless that beautiful nation.
@@NorberisR We will be back there in 4 weeks to visit and look at property!! We want to move there soon. We love it so much. Love your videos, thank you.
I found your channel by accident and was pleasantly surprised. So now I am binge watching lol. I really liked your sense of humor on this vlog regarding not coming to the DR. Sorry, but nothing you've said will keep the DR off of my list of places to visit lol. Keep up the good work.
@@juanarturoozunasolano4046 it's Amazing how so many people didn't get that and was offended🤣😂. Not saying this person didn't get but many didn't. But glad to see you got it.
@@NorberisR The problem was the title, there are many people that don't even watch the whole video and because the title and the way you started explaining the bad things you may encounter when you travel to DR, they think the whole video is like that. I think a title like: Avoid this when you come to Dominican Republic would've been better and explaining the things to avoid. Just starting like if you are not patient you shouldn't go there, that's ridiculous, if you are not patient, you shouldn't go nowhere period. just going to any airport it becomes a nightmare sometimes. Also, you can't compare customer service, that's personal experience. When Dominicans see you are coming from the US or any country, they treat you like a queen or king. Don't belittle your country by putting such a title, it could be misinterpreted. Btw, Love your accent.
I have retired to the Dominican Republic for five years and have been visiting for 33. Normal persons will love ir here. I have found when someone doesn’t like a place the problem is with the someone and not the place.
For me it was the tone, how people speak sometimes they sound angry when they’re only really being passionate. I had to learn to tell the difference and I also had to learn better Spanish to know that they meant no harm.😂
I am puerto rican and I travel alot too the Dominican Republic! I got to say I love its a beautiful country and its people! I always enjoy vacationing! I feel very welcome! I don’t feel out of place! The music is good and the food is good! I don’t have nothing negative to say!
Literally everything 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 A side note to everyone... once you surround yourself with Dominican people you somewhat come around to all of these things. Ones from the campo are really so warm and welcoming -someone married to a Dominican and live in a multi family house with everyone
Just left Puert Plata a couple of weeks ago and I left the ship port.I wanted to experience the rich culture.The simplicity of the lifestyle is attractive. Definitely the highest of concentration of beautiful natural woman ive ever seen.
I was in the DR in July and I hated driving in Santo Domingo! The traffic, the roads, the way ppl drive there (especially motorcycles)…Let’s just say I had a lot of little crashes 😐 I will never drive again in the DR 😂 but I can’t wait to go back ❤️
It is great to learn more about the experiences to expect with relocating with a young daughter. I am enjoying your videos...very informative. Thanks for your transparency and positive energy!!
Great video!♥️ and good information too! haha I just moved here in May from US North Carolina, And everything you said I totally agree! Ah but much much loveee to everyone!😻♥️ and to my island people!
Norberis, you speak truth to power luv! As a Norte Americano, I've been visiting your country for 15 years and I'll confess that I've still not gotten comfortable with the issues you raise! However, I have learned a great deal through friends I've met, and I keep coming back because I truly enjoy your beautiful country and the people...and yes the beaches and seafood! No doubt, I could never live there but I sure have BIG fun whenever I visit and that I can tolerate anytime!
That great! Dr is not for everyone to live however having a good time is forever one and if you are looking for a good time DR is that place. Glad you always enjoy yourself❤️
Very, very informative. Having patience is a must it drove me crazy the first time I went to the D.R. A lot of things there just don't make sense. I first situation was when going to get a sim card for my phone immediately after leaving the airport. Even though I was the only customer and there were two associates to help me it took a full thirty-minutes. I asked several times if everything was alright. Both workers were having a good time chatting back and forth. Please note that no other customers came while I was there. Now, whyyyyyyyy did this transaction take thirty-minutes? There was my introduction to the D.R. WOWW I know all of this stuff has taken you some time to get use to again. Your husband must be going crazy. Incidentally, everything else you mentioned is spot on. I know this after only visiting the D.R. three times.
Good video Norberis! One thing that I experienced there that I didn't particularly like was the lack of acknowledgement for personal space. Some people will stand right next to you really close. I need atleast an elbow's reach of distance lol.
Soy negro. ¡He estado hablando español mexicano durante muchos años porque crecí rodeado de mexicanos toda mi vida! veo muchas telenovelas en univisón donde las pasan, trabajo en ciudad de méxico, méxico! ¡Mis primos son completamente mexicanos y son mi familia porque he estado cerca de ellos toda mi vida! viva estados unidos y méxico. 🇱🇷🇲🇽✌️
About the banks: you can also pay all your invoices using e-banking online. I haven't been to a bank for commercial transactions in about six o seven years. I only go to banks to pick up cards when they need to be renovated and to change my security token (about every five years). Other than that, not for any reason at all. By the way, you can also do all sorts of shopping online.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I live in my Neighborhood for 33 years and don't one person its sad thats life in America. That's why I want to get out and move to Jamaica 🇯🇲 I'm tired
I luv luv luv luv luv to visit the Dominican Republic. Its the best fun and pleasure place to enjoy and party.. Great people, Delicious Foods, Beautiful Country. Thanks for sharing honest thoughts.
Sounds like your neighbors know what community is, and that is something of value! Life is so much better when everyone realizes you share the same space, so why not just get along?
@@johnfernandez628 seems as if you didn't watch the video and prejudged based on the title. She is speaking highly of the country. But in this world of people looking to be offended what else can one expect from a bum like yourself.
@ 2:00, when I go to the supermacado Nacional, or the other supermarket in the Capital I don't have a problem with the cashiers, they are usually very quick and courteous. And the guys that bag your food usually take your cart out to the parking lot and help you load up your car. And ofcourse I give him a nice tip. Lol. I always have a great time when I'm there.
The knowing your neighbors part was a shocker for me when I moved to the states. I have been in the same neighborhood for 4 years, yet, I don't know my neighbors. We say hi and greetings but there is no "hey bud come into my house, lets drink a beer" type of things. I would like to live in Dominican Republic some day.
When my extended family came to visit me in Miami, they were coming from a place very similar to Republica Dominican, a Caribean city in another country, and they did not understand why here, in USA, we were always in a rush. Example, running errands very fast. They didn't like the fast style of life. They went back feeling very happy for refusing living their life running constantly to be on time and full of stress.
Yes that is what I don't like about the life style in US too is always in a rush for everything and you don't have time to enjoy life and yes it is a lot of stress there.
We actually bought property there and made money , there are a lot of potential but as usual there are situations as we have in the rest of the world. God bless Dios te bendiga siempre
Hi Jean! Congratulations! Your name sounds Haitian. I wonder how it’s going for you. Well I hope. My family (sister cousin and our respective spouses) are looking to buy a 5-6 bedroom in Punta Cana or even Cabarete - wherever we can get more bucks for our money around the $500-700k mark. Please feel free to share you learned along the way. Or perhaps good contact you can pass on to me.
After studying abroad in DR and visiting multiple times since then I clicked on this video thinking it had to be a joke because I love DR SO much, what could ever convince me to hate it?! The last one about beautiful men/women is SO true by the way 😂
Giiiiiiirl here I was like Oh no what happened over there! Cuz I’m tryin to get back like ASAP I LOVED it that much I never want to leave…whew!! 😅 you had me super worried lol. The only thing I really had an issue with was the moqeeto lol. I was feasted on breakfast, lunch, dinner and 3 snacks in between!! Thank you hunny love your vids! 🥰☮️💖
The island is different, Santo Domingo is Midtown Manhattan during the rush hour times 10, ALL DAY... I suggest VERY STRONGLY to learn Spanish. Or at least understand it. That is a major issue with foreigners in DR. I have that 'gringo look' being born in the US' so trust me the assumption is made that I don't speak it until I open my mouth and see that I'm Dominican as well. I get that look 'O.o'... It really does help that you speak it even if you destroy it. At least you're trying. Dominicans will help you. In the bigger cities there are more Dominicans who speak English. In fact I was told, by my cousin who is a native here, that if a Dominican doesn't speak English, they are looked as cavemen. You should try to watch Spanish speaking shows with English subtitles either way though. I has helped my wife and she couldn't speak a lick of Spanish, ok? Despite that, you are going to a foreign country with a different culture. It's not as advance as say the US but it has it's ways that you have to learn. You just have to have the desire to learn. If you believe, you can achieve. And EVERYTHING Norberis says is TRUE....If you're not ready, stay over where you're at and let us have this paradise...But if you are, get your passport and get yourself down here and enjoy paradise!!!
Don’t forget: they are going to tell you “why are you fat?” “where’s your boyfriend?” “When are you getting married?” “Do you know how to cook?” And other rude questions 😂
Also i find dominicans have a tendency to not always be straight forward when it comes to certain things, there's a lot of ''beating around the bush'' and never really answering a question truthfully. It can be annoying for some like myself who likes things to be done by the book and who is straight forward lol. It is something to get used to...
I agree, I have shared a lot of argues with some of my Dominican and Haitian friends here on the island because sometimes information that will be very important, they won’t tell me all of it.. or they will beat around the bush and that’ll cause us to have so much miscommunication and problems..
Yes I notice that a lot with one of the imam’s in Santiago and I told my novia what she was saying and she did it too I told her the imam did and she started laughing 🤣🤣🤣 absolute bugger !!
I lot of that has something to do that they are no happy with the job the salaries there is not mich what you can do with the money they have to deal with a lot of people thay sometime think thst jus because they are employees are their slave they no have respect for them early imagine you working a lot of hours for nathing we problaly whrre acting tye same way if where in their9 shoes
They will always say, "OK." Thing are not always OK. They will say OK before you even get to the point of what your saying. Get prices up front. Everytime, for everything.
I've even experienced kids coming up to me and mine to take our daughter to the beach or help pick mangoes. My wife told me that it's normal en RD to have heated discussions or argue,,, I tell her it's not normal but I think she may be correct. I have a Dominican coworker/best friend who love to debate the advantages of Apple over Samsung on a daily basis. 🙄
Awesome video I'm Dominican American ,never been there..my pops got deported after serving time in federal prison..I'm dying to go over there ..ps you are sooo beautiful 😍
*Why they always beating on the Haitians in Dominican Republic? Even the black Dominicans are beating on Haitians I never understood that burning their homes and threatening to kill them if they don't leave?*
I went to North side of Dominican republic in August. The thing that bothered me the most was the curfew. It really takes away from night life. I still had a lot of fun at the beaches, women and the overall food and culture
Love to vacation in the Dominican Republic! The people are great. Have already been twice this year and have two more trips there planned. Go and see for yourself. Don’t forget,you get what you pay for. Go to a cheap resort and don’t expect 5 star food and service.
Going back with our daughter and her family (5&1 year old) in 3weeks. Can’t wait. Then in December going back to Excellence Punta Cana. So excited to go back after 2 years due to COVID-19.
I am hear now visiting for the first time. Yes the traffic was crazy especially in Hania. The Trucks and motor scooters. Wow It was something. But with all that plus the heat. I truly love it. Especially meeting my very lovely girlfriend who lives here. She has taking me everywhere. I hate that I have to leave soon and go back to Miami. I can't to visit again. I truly love all the craziness in Santo Dominingo.🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
Hello! I love your channel and all the helpful info it provides. I hope to make it my forever home in the future. Side note: I am traveling there to Santo Domingo next month with friends and we would like to stay in an Airbnb and hope to walk around and enjoy the local sites. Any recommendations and cautions to look out for? We know now to be out and about at night. But we hope breakfast and lots much is ok to walk around. Thank you!
I would recommend an Airbnb in Zona Colonial which is more touristy. Or Piantini, Naco, or Bella Vista which is more middle to upper middle class. All these areas are safe to walk around. There are plenty of things to do in Santo Domingo depending on what you like.
Thank for video. My daughter has a girlfriend from dr she shows me pictures of beautiful places there we want to come visit family with her . Great video very true to what she tells me too.😊
Customer service and traffic are terrible in DR. The government should do something about the traffic and business people should train their personnel to have a good customer service.
Thanks for the information. Thinking about visiting next year for the Serie del Caribe baseball tournament and I find this information useful. Saludos!!!
Yes DR is awesome and I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself. This video is satire some people don't get it.🤣😂 Everyone should experience this beautiful country❤️
The best is when a repairman comes THE DAY AFTER HE WAS SUPPOSED TO...at 7 in the morning!!!!! And then they havethe NERVE to get mad at you if you not ready and not able to allow them in on that day
I'll be in Santo Domingo 3 weeks from now I'm getting married 😊 norbis if you are free September 17or 18 you are invited to my reception or even wedding because if it weren't for you I wouldn't have found the love of my life thank you for everything
Norberis, continue doing exactly what you want to do providing great content. The people that don't like your RUclips channel. They're free to watch someone else. Miserable, negative people complain the most about everything & they are the one's doing the least in life. F*¢¥ em ! God bless you
The only thing that I agree with you is with the bad traffic but if you have bills to pay you can do it online you can pay everything online, no country is perfect, you’ll find a lot of things you won’t like in any country you go to and for some reason almost all the tourists who come here come back even many of them even plan to invest here, you should love your country don’t try to act like you’re more American than Americans 😄😄
I do love my country and my channel is proof of that. If you're not smart enough to see the sarcasm in this video then it shows your level thinking. And if the only thing you agree with is the traffic then it shows you either didn't watch the video or you maybe more American than the Americans🤣😂. I said Dominicans were beautiful people men and women. I said Dominican were very social and friendly. I said Dominicans like to have fun and a good time. I said the weather is good year around. You supposed to be Dominican and don't agree with that? 🤣😂 People like you are an embarrassment, not to just Dominicans but the human species, all you do is search around RUclips to find something to take out of context just to be offended by it. Amazing. Boy bye!! 😂🤣🤣
Idk why this appear in my bar of notification I'm not even suscribe to this chanel anyway I liked it and it help me to improve my listening skill. New sub..
One experience is that one day I was in a line in the bank and the lady told me that Americans go in front. I fell in love with the country. Can’t wait to go back. Keep in mind that my girl looked a lot like you Norberis R. My second home.
My girlfriend is Dominican and I am British. I just spent 5 months with her in the Dominican Republic. I loved every second. Only had a problem a few times when people were jealous. Now I’m back in the U.K. Wish we could somehow be together forever..
@@MuleyxHD Being only 25 is a great advantage for people who relocate! You don't have to stay forever. You can try it out for a year or two and if it doesn't work for you then you can always go back home.
I have a lot of dominican friends. Dominicans teach me spanish when I was young in NYC. They love to talk! All night into 5am talk talk talk. Its wonderful! My friend could ride motocycles and do tricks. He wanted to take me to DR but he got arrested. He was gay but he didnt tell anyone only me.
Just spent another 3 weeks in Santiago. Love it more everytime i go. I like driving in DR but most drivers are just clueless and have zero common sense. Couple things worth mentioning is that electric power issues are still there. We had no power for few hours at the time on multiple days and same with water as well (thanks god for water tanks). It was very hot so if u run AC it wont be chaep!
Hola, que tal?, como van?, Los mejores y más cordiales Saludos desde puente piedra, lima, Perú, ojalá que puedas venir en algún momento a mi país y que disfrutes mucho de todo por aquí, con la familia y los amigos, felicidades por tus vídeos.
@@michaellawson8102 whether it is a good or bad idea would be something you will need to answer yourself. Depends on what you are looking for. Watch my videos in my Dominican Culture playlist and it will give you a greater sense of the country. And decide for yourself if it's a place you would like to live.
@@sybiletcolin.i4584 most of them. I love Soca music too. Coming from Toronto I was raised and more in the island without living on one. Even the island San Andres in Colombia.
That’s unfortunate that she said her neighbors didn’t talk or invite there kids to play with each other. I live in a 24 floor high rise building in New York City and all my neighbors are all friendly we are all like family and we actually walk uninvited without any permission to each other’s homes with no problem. We all lookout for each other. And basically all of the people in the building are friendly. Our kids basically grew up together went to the same schools and treat each other like brothers and sisters. I’ve been to the Dominican Republic 6 times and I loved it so much that I just bought a new home there. She is right when she said that Dominican people are very social and yes the women are very beautiful. And she’s also correct about the men when they are a few of them it’s party time. The have a say! Hoy se bebé which means today we drink and that’s usually every day 😂. But I love the Dominican culture because they are all about family. 💯♥️😀
I was looking around for some interesting videos and suddenly watched one of those amazing videos you uploaded and made my day 😂😂 DR it’s the 8th wonder
Unless you’re a season driver in DR, no I wouldn’t recommend you drive. I drove with my mom as well- the traffic accident is also a hustle for scammers Be careful.
I went twice in th last two months. Stayed in Zona colonial first time and Piantini the second time. Piantini definitely feels more busy and more activities plus things to do. Definitely adjusting pretty well though
My woman is Dominican, I don't even have to look and she still gives me a hard time when an attractive girl is near by. Its hard work 😪 🤣🤣 and the irony is, alot of these girls are my type. I am constantly fighting myself not to look.
You sexy mama im coming for you! Also we got lots of new dominicans in NYC they so damn cute! They be jumping in the river and swimming im like "bro thats the zoo river we dont swim in that" but they do it every summer. I love it
Love the DR . Would never drive there but I dont mind taxis. Tried living in Punta Cana but could not make it because I dont speak Spanish. Ended up back home in Florida. I know some cool people there that are bilingual. Mostly Canadians and Venezuelans. They helped tremendously. I dont know if its possible to be self sufficient without speaking or reading Spanish. Nobody will give a bill in English. Electric, wifi, cell phone, bank statements, car repair bills etc all in Spanish. If you request English they say they cant. That I dont understand. Im a dumb ass for never learning english but businesses should give you a language option on invoices. I hope to give it another try. Will talk to Norberis for advice.
Punta Cana is probably the biggest English speaking city in the DR. Not sure why you couldn't make it there. Also, why are you expecting you bills to be in English in. Spanish speaking country? I didn't speak English when I first arrive in the U.S. and all my bills were in English as well.
The thing that frustrates me the most is what you mentioned in the beginning, people that skip the line. This happens every where in DR, it drives me crazy. I have had to yell at a few people a few times ofcourse in Spanish cause I speak it fluently. But I gave up, so I don't say anything anymore. Lol
KLK Norberis my Question to you between Santo Domingo & Punta Cana which one I shall go ? My mom & stepfather went to Punta Cana 🇩🇴 & she told me the 🐵 snatch her cellphone & broke it when she was in Punta Cana's Monkeyland before Covid I'm not a fan of Monkeys which part of 🇩🇴 I shall go & not shall go?? Keep it up sister love ya💖😘😘😘😘 thankyou for making me smile & you got me out the loneliness I appreciate you
Santo Domingo is the capital and it's the big city life. And you find everything big cities have. Punta Cana is a tourist city with resorts and beaches. Punta Cana doesn't have monkeys around that was just at that park. So depending on what you are looking you can make a decision.
@@NorberisR Thankyou for your advice I love the way you give me advice you're a good friend & supporter I look up to you & I love your personality .You're so kind , courteous, fun, understanding, professional. Thankyou for being a friend, Thankyou for understanding, supporting me, & giving me advice. Norberis it seems you understand me more because I have trouble making friends since childhood I was bullied a lot in school & 😭 I just to Thankyou for getting me out the loneliness 😭😭😭😭 😭😭 I appreciate you alot
The only genuine reason I think someone (not me) might not like the DR is if they pick a bunch of new friends who are not economically stable and those friends become reliant upon you to pay for everything or anything when you are out because you’re a foreigner and you have a stronger currency. That’s it. But like I said, not me because you do what you can and stop when you cannot. Nothing wrong with being generous, but it’s a bad thing if you cannot afford to be very generous sometimes.
@@vickynoname9860 That is unfortinately quite sad because not everyone is like that or will want to separate you from your money. They can be your friends but if you have as a rule of thumb in your life, it's prerogative and no one can challenge you on it. I just hope we don't miss out on good friendships or the opportunity to bless some very deserving (less fortunate) people. Its the few that spoil it for the rest.
sweet girl...I am 72 and planning to come to DR to visit my friend who just bought a home and is moving there permanently. I love your honesty in this video and really look forward to meeting and making friends with people from DR. She is trying get get me to retire there with here.. I'm already brushing up on my Spanish and will probably need help when I get there . I love the heart of the people in DR.... Island time sounds great to me! Love the music, dancing and laughing!

Man the drug dealers have being ruining my hometown for the last 5 years.
True in from there
When you get to the Dominican Republic it feels like you’re in paradise as soon as you get to the airport. It feels unreal😍

I would have to agree with that. Most of the time it's the individual.
unless you are Haitian!
This video is definitely a crash course of the Dominican culture. Great video. I’m from New Orleans and it’s friendly here as well
Thank you🙏🏾
For me it was the tone, how people speak sometimes they sound angry when they’re only really being passionate. I had to learn to tell the difference and I also had to learn better Spanish to know that they meant no harm.😂
Yes this is how Dominicans speak. You can think they are arguing but as you said we are just passionate.
I'm just here taking mental notes lol
Then you've never heard Cantonese!
Mike was getting ready to square up! LOL
Dominicans are very FRIENDLY and sociable.
Yes, they are not angry. They are very nice to tourists.
I am puerto rican and I travel alot too the Dominican Republic! I got to say I love its a beautiful country and its people! I always enjoy vacationing! I feel very welcome! I don’t feel out of place! The music is good and the food is good! I don’t have nothing negative to say!

Lol...it that was your first time it's bound to happen the way people drive here
If you drive there for a few weeks you end up like the locals🤗. In Romes do as the Romans do😌
They drive exactly how we drive here in Birmingham UK 🇬🇧🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm from NYC and I drive in DR all the time , no different than NYC lol. But I do agree they do drive crazy in Santo domingo
Yeah, you better make sure, that if you are renting a car, get insurance.
It is great to learn more about the experiences to expect with relocating with a young daughter. I am enjoying your videos...very informative. Thanks for your transparency and positive energy!!

Very, very informative. Having patience is a must it drove me crazy the first time I went to the D.R. A lot of things there just don't make sense.

I know all of this stuff has taken you some time to get use to again. Your husband must be going crazy.
Incidentally, everything else you mentioned is spot on. I know this after only visiting the D.R. three times.
Hahahaha...yes this happens a lot. My husband has learned to deal with it at this point. Sometimes when he is in a hurry he gets frustrated 😁
😂 all this did was solidify that I NEED to move there 😂 life would be so different
Glad it was helpful ☺️
Me too!
yea, people literally go out of nowhere and wipe ur windshields and then my dad just gives them money
@@anymjohnson1729 thanks for the advance!!
@@anymjohnson1729 All very good advice. I partocularly love your closing statement that "not everyone is like that, and to just be careful"
Me morí de la risa when you talked about the people cutting the line to talk to the cashier. It happens all the time 🤣🤣🤣
😅 yes I know.
Good video Norberis! One thing that I experienced there that I didn't particularly like was the lack of acknowledgement for personal space. Some people will stand right next to you really close. I need atleast an elbow's reach of distance lol.
Lol
This is one I should have mentioned because it is very true. My husband hates this.
They also staring a lot too 👀🤣 I'm dominican i hate it 🤣
Soy negro. ¡He estado hablando español mexicano durante muchos años porque crecí rodeado de mexicanos toda mi vida! veo muchas telenovelas en univisón donde las pasan, trabajo en ciudad de méxico, méxico! ¡Mis primos son completamente mexicanos y son mi familia porque he estado cerca de ellos toda mi vida! viva estados unidos y méxico. 🇱🇷🇲🇽✌️
Looking at visiting for the first time as DR is finally coming off the red list for travel from the UK, and you have not put me off 🔥🇩🇴
Dang, I couldn't deter you😁
Her opinion about daily life culture . Nothing to do with people being awesome
About the banks: you can also pay all your invoices using e-banking online. I haven't been to a bank for commercial transactions in about six o seven years. I only go to banks to pick up cards when they need to be renovated and to change my security token (about every five years). Other than that, not for any reason at all. By the way, you can also do all sorts of shopping online.
Thanks for sharing this information.👍🏼
Here in the States, your next door neighbor could of been dead for years and you wouldn't know about it.
😂🤣 I know right. Here in DR you know your neighbors.
@@NorberisR not true because most Dominicans and humans are rude to me
@@abimaellopezmaylord27lopez7 canto de embustera, se en EEUU pero en RD la gente usualmente es amigable
This is like saying: The main reason not to watch this video is you beautiful English...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I live in my Neighborhood for 33 years and don't one person its sad thats life in America. That's why I want to get out and move to Jamaica 🇯🇲 I'm tired
I luv luv luv luv luv to visit the Dominican Republic. Its the best fun and pleasure place to enjoy and party.. Great people, Delicious Foods, Beautiful Country. Thanks for sharing honest thoughts.
🏖☀🌴😁
Sounds like your neighbors know what community is, and that is something of value! Life is so much better when everyone realizes you share the same space, so why not just get along?
Yes, I totally agree.
That's what I love about going there minus the traffic. During the day I lay low because of the heat. I've been there in June and it was hot!!!!
She must be a chapiadora that had a bad day and is taking her madness with the country and people of DR.
@@johnfernandez628 seems as if you didn't watch the video and prejudged based on the title. She is speaking highly of the country. But in this world of people looking to be offended what else can one expect from a bum like yourself.
I love this video it is so true, The Dominican Republic is a beautiful place but somethings can be somewhat a culture shock. Patience is the key !!!
This a great place you just need to come with your Isla mentality and you will fine.
Wow, you reminded me of the few months i lived with some DR friends of mine. Thanks for the vid, never visited but hope to one day.
Yes you should.
First, I love your accent so pleasant. Thanks for the information about DR. It’s very informative.
Thank you❤.
@ 2:00, when I go to the supermacado Nacional, or the other supermarket in the Capital I don't have a problem with the cashiers, they are usually very quick and courteous. And the guys that bag your food usually take your cart out to the parking lot and help you load up your car. And ofcourse I give him a nice tip. Lol. I always have a great time when I'm there.
I was amazed when they brought the grocery all the way to the car without feeling annoyed about it.
Don’t forget the first and the 15th when the Call Center’s pay. Good luck going to the bank🤣
Lol! That's a good one. Those dates are crazy at the bank 🤣
The knowing your neighbors part was a shocker for me when I moved to the states. I have been in the same neighborhood for 4 years, yet, I don't know my neighbors. We say hi and greetings but there is no "hey bud come into my house, lets drink a beer" type of things. I would like to live in Dominican Republic some day.
That's how it was when we lived there.
When my extended family came to visit me in Miami, they were coming from a place very similar to Republica Dominican, a Caribean city in another country, and they did not understand why here, in USA, we were always in a rush. Example, running errands very fast. They didn't like the fast style of life. They went back feeling very happy for refusing living their life running constantly to be on time and full of stress.
Yes that is what I don't like about the life style in US too is always in a rush for everything and you don't have time to enjoy life and yes it is a lot of stress there.
We actually bought property there and made money , there are a lot of potential but as usual there are situations as we have in the rest of the world. God bless Dios te bendiga siempre
Yes I love my island 🇩🇴 to all yall Dominican hater don't come Dr I love Dominican republic
🦋
just got my family a new home in santo domingo. i can`t wait to go and visit them there.
That's great. Congrats!
Hi Jean! Congratulations! Your name sounds Haitian. I wonder how it’s going for you. Well I hope. My family (sister cousin and our respective spouses) are looking to buy a 5-6 bedroom in Punta Cana or even Cabarete - wherever we can get more bucks for our money around the $500-700k mark. Please feel free to share you learned along the way. Or perhaps good contact you can pass on to me.
After studying abroad in DR and visiting multiple times since then I clicked on this video thinking it had to be a joke because I love DR SO much, what could ever convince me to hate it?! The last one about beautiful men/women is SO true by the way 😂
Lol! It was a joke just satire and some people didn't get. But you are right there is no way to hate it. I love my country❤
@@NorberisR I’m actually planning on moving there I’d love to talk with you more :) do you have an Instagram?
@@kaylab4984 I don't really use IG. The best way to contact me is through email norberis@norberisr.com
Giiiiiiirl here I was like Oh no what happened over there! Cuz I’m tryin to get back like ASAP I LOVED it that much I never want to leave…whew!! 😅 you had me super worried lol. The only thing I really had an issue with was the moqeeto lol. I was feasted on breakfast, lunch, dinner and 3 snacks in between!! Thank you hunny love your vids! 🥰☮️💖
Lol...i was being sarcastic with the title. But those mosquitos are terrible especially after it rains.😡
The island is different, Santo Domingo is Midtown Manhattan during the rush hour times 10, ALL DAY... I suggest VERY STRONGLY to learn Spanish. Or at least understand it. That is a major issue with foreigners in DR. I have that 'gringo look' being born in the US' so trust me the assumption is made that I don't speak it until I open my mouth and see that I'm Dominican as well. I get that look 'O.o'... It really does help that you speak it even if you destroy it. At least you're trying. Dominicans will help you. In the bigger cities there are more Dominicans who speak English. In fact I was told, by my cousin who is a native here, that if a Dominican doesn't speak English, they are looked as cavemen. You should try to watch Spanish speaking shows with English subtitles either way though. I has helped my wife and she couldn't speak a lick of Spanish, ok? Despite that, you are going to a foreign country with a different culture. It's not as advance as say the US but it has it's ways that you have to learn. You just have to have the desire to learn. If you believe, you can achieve. And EVERYTHING Norberis says is TRUE....If you're not ready, stay over where you're at and let us have this paradise...But if you are, get your passport and get yourself down here and enjoy paradise!!!
Hahahaha...yes thank you come to visit people❤
Don’t forget: they are going to tell you “why are you fat?” “where’s your boyfriend?” “When are you getting married?” “Do you know how to cook?” And other rude questions 😂
Also i find dominicans have a tendency to not always be straight forward when it comes to certain things, there's a lot of ''beating around the bush'' and never really answering a question truthfully. It can be annoying for some like myself who likes things to be done by the book and who is straight forward lol. It is something to get used to...
This is true 🤣. They will go around the world. But with those type you have to be firm with them especially if it's business.
I agree, I have shared a lot of argues with some of my Dominican and Haitian friends here on the island because sometimes information that will be very important, they won’t tell me all of it.. or they will beat around the bush and that’ll cause us to have so much miscommunication and problems..
It seems they are simply trying to be polite. We westerns tend not care about feelings and stuff.
Yes I notice that a lot with one of the imam’s in Santiago and I told my novia what she was saying and she did it too I told her the imam did and she started laughing 🤣🤣🤣 absolute bugger !!
I lot of that has something to do that they are no happy with the job the salaries there is not mich what you can do with the money they have to deal with a lot of people thay sometime think thst jus because they are employees are their slave they no have respect for them early imagine you working a lot of hours for nathing we problaly whrre acting tye same way if where in their9 shoes
They will always say, "OK." Thing are not always OK. They will say OK before you even get to the point of what your saying.
Get prices up front. Everytime, for everything.
I've even experienced kids coming up to me and mine to take our daughter to the beach or help pick mangoes.
My wife told me that it's normal en RD to have heated discussions or argue,,, I tell her it's not normal but I think she may be correct. I have a Dominican coworker/best friend who love to debate the advantages of Apple over Samsung on a daily basis. 🙄
😂😂😂...lol! It's true you will see Dominicans argue very loud all the time. But it's nothing. 🤣🤣
@@NorberisR
Thanks for clarifying. I just don't like it when it's done infront of our daughter
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao 🤣
I wish I could debate with them samsung better now
This chick is awesome and informative!
Sincerely from New York and Ottawa Canada.
Thank you❤🇩🇴.
Very true and these are the reasons why I love DR 🇩🇴❤️
Me too. There nothing not to love about all this😁
I was just there in April. I will be there again next weekend. Can't keep me away lol.
I would never try to keep you away😁
Your video made me believe that this is the environment I would like to live in my retirement.
Will definitely swing by soon to test the waters.
Yes that was the purpose😁

You should visit the place where your people are from.
That's the truth... So many beautiful people in DR and beautiful personalities also. DR will always be my 2nd home, be back in October ❤🙏🏾💯

@@luciacontreras2416 thank you... I have a great time everytime I go. I feel more at home in DR than I do in the U.S. ❤
*Why they always beating on the Haitians in Dominican Republic? Even the black Dominicans are beating on Haitians I never understood that burning their homes and threatening to kill them if they don't leave?*
@@GMONEY79 I never witnessed that... For the most part they have normal relationships...
I went to North side of Dominican republic in August. The thing that bothered me the most was the curfew. It really takes away from night life. I still had a lot of fun at the beaches, women and the overall food and culture
Yes I know the curfews were a little annoying but necessary. Now we don't have them any more.
Love to vacation in the Dominican Republic! The people are great. Have already been twice this year and have two more trips there planned. Go and see for yourself. Don’t forget,you get what you pay for. Go to a cheap resort and don’t expect 5 star food and service.
Yes people should come this video was a display of sarcasm. Glad you enjoyed yourself and hope you return soon❤️
Going back with our daughter and her family (5&1 year old) in 3weeks. Can’t wait. Then in December going back to Excellence Punta Cana. So excited to go back after 2 years due to COVID-19.
I am hear now visiting for the first time. Yes the traffic was crazy especially in Hania. The Trucks and motor scooters. Wow It was something. But with all that plus the heat. I truly love it. Especially meeting my very lovely girlfriend who lives here. She has taking me everywhere. I hate that I have to leave soon and go back to Miami. I can't to visit again. I truly love all the craziness in Santo Dominingo.🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
Congratulations! I see you are having a great time.
Hello! I love your channel and all the helpful info it provides. I hope to make it my forever home in the future.
Side note: I am traveling there to Santo Domingo next month with friends and we would like to stay in an Airbnb and hope to walk around and enjoy the local sites. Any recommendations and cautions to look out for? We know now to be out and about at night. But we hope breakfast and lots much is ok to walk around. Thank you!
I would recommend an Airbnb in Zona Colonial which is more touristy. Or Piantini, Naco, or Bella Vista which is more middle to upper middle class. All these areas are safe to walk around. There are plenty of things to do in Santo Domingo depending on what you like.
Thank for video. My daughter has a girlfriend from dr she shows me pictures of beautiful places there we want to come visit family with her . Great video very true to what she tells me too.😊
You should come an visit. It's a beautiful country.
I am from India and I would love to go to the DR, I can handle the traffic and driving but the flight is $1000 😅
Very funny my dear; my own is worse the flight is $1997 that's approximately $2000
Customer service and traffic are terrible in DR. The government should do something about the traffic and business people should train their personnel to have a good customer service.
Sounds like Africa. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the root.
Thanks for the information. Thinking about visiting next year for the Serie del Caribe baseball tournament and I find this information useful. Saludos!!!
Glad it was useful to you. You're welcomed.
Been to DR 3 times and love it...just got back after 2.5 weeks and plan to go next DEC too!
Yes DR is awesome and I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself. This video is satire some people don't get it.🤣😂 Everyone should experience this beautiful country❤️
The best is when a repairman comes THE DAY AFTER HE WAS SUPPOSED TO...at 7 in the morning!!!!!
And then they havethe NERVE to get mad at you if you not ready and not able to allow them in on that day
🤣😂🤣yes that is Dominican Culture.
Very funny😁😁
I'll be in Santo Domingo 3 weeks from now I'm getting married 😊 norbis if you are free September 17or 18 you are invited to my reception or even wedding because if it weren't for you I wouldn't have found the love of my life thank you for everything
That's great congrats! Where are you getting married?
@@NorberisR At the courthouse in Santo Domingo we didn't want anything crazy
I all ready know, being overly patient and tolerant is going to be challenging.
No problem with the heat or Island beauty though Lol... #Hotep
I don’t have no problem to be patient, I like to go to the beach 🏖 I like to go out to enjoy the Island 🏝
Patience with shopping and customer service is also extremely slow throughout SE Asia.
Norberis, continue doing exactly what you want to do providing great content. The people that don't like your RUclips channel. They're free to watch someone else. Miserable, negative people complain the most about everything & they are the one's doing the least in life. F*¢¥ em !
God bless you
Thank you and you're right👍🏾
I love it there ..I'm Canadian and I have been there many times ..lovely place
Yes it is a very lovely place.
This was a great - it just got better and better and your last reason was PERFECT, lol Dominicans ARE a beautiful people!
I'm glad you caught sarcasm in this video. Some people thought I was bashing the island. But it's obvious they didn't watch the video🤣😂
What’s the culture like in RD? I heard that family is very close when greeting each other and all that. Is that common thing in there?
The culture is beautiful. Family is very important here.
The only thing that I agree with you is with the bad traffic but if you have bills to pay you can do it online you can pay everything online, no country is perfect, you’ll find a lot of things you won’t like in any country you go to and for some reason almost all the tourists who come here come back even many of them even plan to invest here, you should love your country don’t try to act like you’re more American than Americans 😄😄
I do love my country and my channel is proof of that. If you're not smart enough to see the sarcasm in this video then it shows your level thinking. And if the only thing you agree with is the traffic then it shows you either didn't watch the video or you maybe more American than the Americans🤣😂. I said Dominicans were beautiful people men and women. I said Dominican were very social and friendly. I said Dominicans like to have fun and a good time. I said the weather is good year around. You supposed to be Dominican and don't agree with that? 🤣😂 People like you are an embarrassment, not to just Dominicans but the human species, all you do is search around RUclips to find something to take out of context just to be offended by it. Amazing. Boy bye!! 😂🤣🤣
I love your accent and presentation! Thanks for the tips.
Thank you.😁
Idk why this appear in my bar of notification I'm not even suscribe to this chanel anyway I liked it and it help me to improve my listening skill. New sub..
Thank you for subbing😊
Every Dominican I have met is kindhearted. They are beautiful people. My family is from the Caribbean so I understand island time lol.
Gracias❤
One experience is that one day I was in a line in the bank and the lady told me that Americans go in front. I fell in love with the country. Can’t wait to go back. Keep in mind that my girl looked a lot like you Norberis R. My second home.
Thanks for sharing!
My girlfriend is Dominican and I am British. I just spent 5 months with her in the Dominican Republic. I loved every second. Only had a problem a few times when people were jealous. Now I’m back in the U.K. Wish we could somehow be together forever..

@@EdwinLuciano Great advice. Thank you.
I had a lot of fun in DR
I like Santo Domingo
I went a a baseball game and saw Licey play
This is a wonderful place where you can have a lot of fun.
I have a lot of dominican friends. Dominicans teach me spanish when I was young in NYC. They love to talk! All night into 5am talk talk talk. Its wonderful! My friend could ride motocycles and do tricks. He wanted to take me to DR but he got arrested. He was gay but he didnt tell anyone only me.
Thanks for sharing.
My only concern is making sure the water stays hot when I'm showering
Yes in certain areas this can be an issue. The newer building this is not an issue. But you're correct.
Or the light 💡 going out…
Just spent another 3 weeks in Santiago. Love it more everytime i go. I like driving in DR but most drivers are just clueless and have zero common sense. Couple things worth mentioning is that electric power issues are still there. We had no power for few hours at the time on multiple days and same with water as well (thanks god for water tanks). It was very hot so if u run AC it wont be chaep!
In certain areas the power can be an issue.
yea if u see someone knocking on ur window with guayabas/limes just drive off
@@NorberisR yes, it happens to me sometimes.
As a person from Dominican Republic I do not agree but I do understand peoples opinions

@@michaellawson8102 whether it is a good or bad idea would be something you will need to answer yourself. Depends on what you are looking for. Watch my videos in my Dominican Culture playlist and it will give you a greater sense of the country. And decide for yourself if it's a place you would like to live.
You should also say loud music... But remind them the best party in Caribbean are in RD. Best vibe ever.
Yes loud music and loud people is another one.
Have you been to all of them?
@@sybiletcolin.i4584 most of them. I love Soca music too. Coming from Toronto I was raised and more in the island without living on one. Even the island San Andres in Colombia.
That’s unfortunate that she said her neighbors didn’t talk or invite there kids to play with each other. I live in a 24 floor high rise building in New York City and all my neighbors are all friendly we are all like family and we actually walk uninvited without any permission to each other’s homes with no problem. We all lookout for each other. And basically all of the people in the building are friendly. Our kids basically grew up together went to the same schools and treat each other like brothers and sisters. I’ve been to the Dominican Republic 6 times and I loved it so much that I just bought a new home there. She is right when she said that Dominican people are very social and yes the women are very beautiful. And she’s also correct about the men when they are a few of them it’s party time. The have a say! Hoy se bebé which means today we drink and that’s usually every day 😂. But I love the Dominican culture because they are all about family. 💯♥️😀
In Florida people are like that. Very to themselves. What ethnicity are your neighbors? But glad to know you enjoy the Dominican culture.
I was looking around for some interesting videos and suddenly watched one of those amazing videos you uploaded and made my day 😂😂 DR it’s the 8th wonder
Thank you so much 😀
Unless you’re a season driver in DR, no I wouldn’t recommend you drive. I drove with my mom as well- the traffic accident is also a hustle for scammers Be careful.
I agree you should be a seasoned driver if you drive here.
I never realized how much Africa influenced the culture and the women there.
I went twice in th last two months. Stayed in Zona colonial first time and Piantini the second time. Piantini definitely feels more busy and more activities plus things to do. Definitely adjusting pretty well though
Yes Piantini is a nice area with plenty to do.
HI NORBERIS LOOK I AM AFRICAN AMERICAN MAN FROM LOSANGELS LIVING IN NORTHERN VA WHICH IS OUTSIDE OF WASHIGHTON DC
My woman is Dominican, I don't even have to look and she still gives me a hard time when an attractive girl is near by. Its hard work 😪 🤣🤣 and the irony is, alot of these girls are my type. I am constantly fighting myself not to look.
Yes I know you are having a hard time😂😂😂
And you're not joking about always doing something or going somewhere
😁
You sexy mama im coming for you! Also we got lots of new dominicans in NYC they so damn cute! They be jumping in the river and swimming im like "bro thats the zoo river we dont swim in that" but they do it every summer. I love it
Love the DR . Would never drive there but I dont mind taxis. Tried living in Punta Cana but could not make it because I dont speak Spanish. Ended up back home in Florida. I know some cool people there that are bilingual. Mostly Canadians and Venezuelans. They helped tremendously. I dont know if its possible to be self sufficient without speaking or reading Spanish. Nobody will give a bill in English. Electric, wifi, cell phone, bank statements, car repair bills etc all in Spanish. If you request English they say they cant. That I dont understand. Im a dumb ass for never learning english but businesses should give you a language option on invoices. I hope to give it another try. Will talk to Norberis for advice.
Punta Cana is probably the biggest English speaking city in the DR. Not sure why you couldn't make it there. Also, why are you expecting you bills to be in English in. Spanish speaking country? I didn't speak English when I first arrive in the U.S. and all my bills were in English as well.
@@NorberisR yes but in the US every single company gives you the option of English or Spanish in the US. Im surprised the DR doesnt do the same.
Great 👍🏿 content. I can't wait to come 😩
Thank you🤗
The thing that frustrates me the most is what you mentioned in the beginning, people that skip the line. This happens every where in DR, it drives me crazy. I have had to yell at a few people a few times ofcourse in Spanish cause I speak it fluently. But I gave up, so I don't say anything anymore. Lol
I feel your pain lol
Hahaha...this happens all the time😁😄
KLK Norberis my Question to you between Santo Domingo & Punta Cana which one I shall go ? My mom & stepfather went to Punta Cana 🇩🇴 & she told me the 🐵 snatch her cellphone & broke it when she was in Punta Cana's Monkeyland before Covid I'm not a fan of Monkeys which part of 🇩🇴 I shall go & not shall go?? Keep it up sister love ya💖😘😘😘😘 thankyou for making me smile & you got me out the loneliness I appreciate you
Santo Domingo is the capital and it's the big city life. And you find everything big cities have. Punta Cana is a tourist city with resorts and beaches. Punta Cana doesn't have monkeys around that was just at that park. So depending on what you are looking you can make a decision.
@@NorberisR Thankyou for your advice I love the way you give me advice you're a good friend & supporter I look up to you & I love your personality .You're so kind , courteous, fun, understanding, professional.

Norberis it seems you understand me more because I have trouble making friends since childhood I was bullied a lot in school & 😭 I just to Thankyou for getting me out the loneliness 😭😭😭😭 😭😭 I appreciate you alot
Also, don't go if you don't like people of color or black people.
The traffic doesn't both me. My wife does the driving.
My husband doesn't like driving here either. He'd rather take an Uber.😁
The only genuine reason I think someone (not me) might not like the DR is if they pick a bunch of new friends who are not economically stable and those friends become reliant upon you to pay for everything or anything when you are out because you’re a foreigner and you have a stronger currency. That’s it. But like I said, not me because you do what you can and stop when you cannot. Nothing wrong with being generous, but it’s a bad thing if you cannot afford to be very generous sometimes.
This can happen. You can't be over generous here.
@@vickynoname9860 That is unfortinately quite sad because not everyone is like that or will want to separate you from your money. They can be your friends but if you have as a rule of thumb in your life, it's prerogative and no one can challenge you on it.
I just hope we don't miss out on good friendships or the opportunity to bless some very deserving (less fortunate) people.
Its the few that spoil it for the rest.
Life changes with your Example, stay Positive...😇🙏 One luv...
sweet girl...I am 72 and planning to come to DR to visit my friend who just bought a home and is moving there permanently.
