    When I visited Phuket years ago in 2018 with my wife and kids. That was definitely a place where I felt like I could live. The weather, the scenery, and the extremely low cost of living were all very positive factors. But you are right about the women LMAO. Def a place where you might want to bring your own sand to the beach.

There is an easy legal process to get to DR from 🇭🇹 but they choose not to follow it. Even 3 nieces i got rap3d by illegal Haitians, so do your research before talking smack! Also another thing… go to Haiti and see how they live and killing each other daily! Even fighting over simple stuff.

I've been to many Latin countries and never had a problem BUT as you said, to live in some of these places, to be on guard to the level you have to be 24x7 is not living. To ME as well. That whole no dar papaya thing is fine if you want to be move that way but not everyone does. When I first started going to Colombia it was not in the cycle it is in now. I never felt safer than when I was in Colombia ohhhh 8 years ago. But today there is no way I'd do the things now, that I did back then. It's tough because I really love how Colombia made me feel.

    I understand politics can be hard to understand:
    "The citizens of a Free State are or ought to be concerned about everything Political that may affect their own happiness and the condition of future generations."
    The conflict is about a water channel being built by haitians at the border that violates a treaty. Haiti is run by gangs. There's no social political order in Haiti. DR wants to resolve the conflict but there's no official authorities running Haiti at the moment.

    The Dominican Republic is closing their boarders to Haitians and they are deporting Haitians from their country. That is a big issue. I wanted to visit the DR so I could meet some Haitians there too but this issue really breaks my heart because we are all Israelites God’s chosen people. I don’t care about being safe because to me it’s all about how you carry yourself.

    To correct silly compensation assumptions. Most Americans do not make 60K a year. The average American doesn’t make 60K a year, so saying 50-55k a year is nothing now is basically saying the majority of Americans make nothing. If you ever want to know the average income for any location, read the BLS, it’s the government agency that companies have to report pay to. In Atlanta the average salary is not 100K. Just to give substance to the big picture instead of what’s assumed.

      You can wear whatever you want at a resort in the Dominican Republic, and I often see guys wearing jewelry in Sosua. However, I wouldn't recommend it. Just make sure to stay within the tourist zone. Personally, I will always dress nicely wherever I go, and if I feel unsafe and can't wear certain clothes, then I don't think I should be there. I feel safe here in Sosua.

    Dominican and Haitian problems are half historical ("EL deguelle de Moca"), half racism. Once in a while Haitians come accross DR and kill Land Onwers due to the abuses they endured. But this Play in the hands of the Racist Dominicans.
    The Beheadings of Moca was a massacre that took place in Santo Domingo in April 1805 when the invading Haitian army attacked civilians as ordered by Jean-Jacques Dessalines and Henri Christophe, during their retreat to Haiti after the failed 1805 Invasion to end French rule on the island. Wikipedia.
    Then in 1937 President Trujillo killed 17,000 Haitianos to uproot them from DR.
    This is a vicios cycle.
    Punta Cana and Sosua is a paradise 'cause they want the USA dollars. It's not real. Welcome to the real world.
    The USA rather spend US$ 43,000,000,000 in Ukraine than helping stop the killing in Haití. The US only knows how to destroyed countries. See what happened to Lybia and Kadafi. A civil warbfor almost 20 yrs by now.
